Next Stop: Nature

Abstract: WHAT My project deal with Kymlinge station, the nature and the activities in the area. It is a site-specific project with the unusual situation of an abandoned station in the middle of the greenery. The purpose of the thesis is to study the specific site of Kymlinge and contribute with an idea of how to improve the area. WHY Kymlinge is situated in a weak part of the green wedge called Järvafältet that is risking fragmentation due to urbanisation. By creating possibilities for more people to enjoy Kymlinge and spend time here, it will both improve their health and make people realise the importance of having nature close by, which in turn secures the continuous existence of the green area. HOW By finalising and opening up the station more people will be be able to access and enjoy Kymlinge. New additions and improvements in the green area will make it more attractive at the same time as its existing qualities is being enhanced and protected.
