How history can beremembered & reusedin urban planning

Abstract: This project is a research of finding out a method; how to get to know a site and what to be remembered and acknowledged.Stockholm is becoming denser, like many other cities. The lack of housing is urgent. But at what price do we build new urban development projects and what can be lost when we do so? I have applied this method on Liljeholmen old train station in Stockholm. Today the site is called Marievik. Sites that are about to be transformed, have more or fewer preserved buildings and monuments from ancient times.This is a way to connect to history in this specific site. In other sites the solution may be different, depending on the findings. The result of my research of finding out a method are this three statements: 1. Keep the monuments, to remember the railways history.2. Re-establish the bridge, to connect the two different levels.3. Honouring the old station, with a new bus station. I think Stockholm city’s way of remembering and re-using a site’s history is insufficient. My project is therefore a method, on how to understand a historical background. It’s a possibility to take a proper farewell and give valuable insights, on what to be kept or translated into the new.
