Today we live in a society were we live longer, with ac- cess to food,medicine, pure water with all services we could possibly need around the corner. Still we struggle with growing issues that our way of living and planning have affected us. Together we face issues of rising hous- ing prices with a steady progressing marginalized rental market. Causing segregated gentrified areas of high income in comparison to low income. At the same time we contaminate the environment around us without reflecting of how we can alter our way of building and living instead.

Previously we had access to pure air, water with tighter relations with our community, living with the nature without being a bystander that have distanced herself from it.

What have we lost along the way? I will through my pro- ject propose an alternative to how we plan our city today, by working from following points.

-Living in a natural landscape without implementing a ge- neric city plan that do not consider the qualities of the site.

I instead intend to take advantage of the natural qualities while combining them with our modern way of living.

--Living with nature without impeding long lasting harm to nature, this include treatment of wastewater from the housing.

-Creating a social diverse community by combining hous- ing to prevent the development of a gentrified area of high income elite. As a part of this is to design affordable hous- ing that low income groups can afford to rent or buy.

-Vivid community life by offering both public and private spaces, with community activities.

Seniors: often the groups that has cap- ital however limited income and thus cannot afford anything far beyond their capital which often is the reality within the cities. Instead they are seeking a long term stable housing with activities around with people to interact with.

Young adults: most often in the groups with low capital and or low income.

Generally struggle to establish

themselves on the housing market while simultaneously doing so career wise.

Small families: sometimes when having children its difficult to make the money go around, thus a larger apartment with a low monthly fee in a central location close to schools, daycare, nature would be a perfect alternative for a newly formed family.

The surrounding architecture in the area consists mainly out of villas typical of suburbs. The population characterise to have high income or sit on a large capi- tal based on the high market value their houses would generate.

The area has a strong recreational presence as not only people living in the neighbourhood walks there but people from all over Umeå as well.

COOPERATIVE TENANCY

PROGRAM PRINCIPLES

Seniors Family

Single household Neighbours Recreational users

Cooperative tenance is an old tradition established during the 20th century in Sweden, the fundamental idea is to put the main- tenance in the hands of

residents that take over the daily maintenance of the building. In return they can have a lower rent.

The concept is still used as a means to tackle

segregation as the concept provides a more economical solution that breaks away from the static housing ques and expensive housing developments in the cities. The more one participate the lower rent one will receive, leading to that its in the best interest to help one another. The model is also something that the mu- nicipality can enforce as a condition to grant building permits to housing companies.

Being built in an area with prominent nature, rural qualities, these are to be included into the community rather than being kept outside.

Natural qualities

Through the cooperative arrangement participation in chores, encouraging social interaction with your neighbours.

As well as the collective responsibility for one activity or service to provide for the community.

Community

The residents have the opportunity to take care of their house collectively that will ensure a long term lower rent as no external services are necessary for the maintenance. How much the rent is reduced is in relation to the each resi- dents participation.

Affordable housing

The circulation of water that with smaller investments and adaptations can reduce the everyday consumption of the com- munity whilsts removing the quickest route for pollution to reach nature. The waterway.

CONDUCTED INTERVIEW OUTCOMES

-Keep the shoreline stride open for the public.

-The best qualities of the site is its natural and calm atmosphere while still being close to the city

-Building housing in the area outside the city center is important and can be done while combining the existing natural qualities of the site. While bringing life, light and safety to the area.

-Although when planning housing keep it accessible to the public “no one should have their private road”, if it can introduce a café that would lift the area.

-Most of those that did not have access or ownership of an own garden in their house or summer cottage was

keen on the idea of having a more active role in their housing.

-Cheaper rent was a big plus for those looking to a long term housing.
