Johanneshov / Gullmarsplan
en nod i framtidens närförort
This is a thesis on how to develop and densifythe suburb of Joanneshov south of Stockholm.Based on Stockholm?s urban history,Stockholm master plan in 2010, the currentdensity and sustainability debate, literarystudies, as well as a variety of analysisof the site it all ends up with a proposal onJohanneshov. The goals have been workedout during the work and has resulted inthat we want to extend the inner city streetand linking Johanneshov with surroundingdistricts, but we also want to create a wellused, diverse, urban area where the humanis in focus and a district that is easy to read.Much of the work is devoted to show howStockholm has developed historical and totry to put the future in a context, but also a lotof work has been put in the information andthe analysis of the site chapter. The plan proposalis still considered to be the work focus.Johanneshov is surrounded by Årsta inthe west, Hammarbyhöjden in the east,Enskede in the south and Södermalm inthe north. Gullmarsplan is a typical 40thcentury area with a functionalist structure.Johanneshov is with Gullmarsplan,the Globe an the Slaughterhousearea, an important node for the southernsuburbs as a place for communication,sports, entertainment and shopping.Today Nynäsvägen divides the area intoa western and an eastern part. The Gullmarsterminalwhich is the south?s largestpublic transport node with buses, subwaysand trams is now a complex structure withmany different floors for different functions.The terminal is located as an island in thetraffic structure with poor relations with thesurrounding areas. Aesthetics leave us withmuch to be desired. Johanneshov is alsovery sparsely populated with houses standingfreely in a lot of parkland with few urbanqualities in which the car takes precedence.The density and sustainability discussionswe have had resulted in a position for thedense city. Therefore we read both bothJane Jacobs and Jan Gehl to get furtherguidance throughout the work.
