Sustainability in the broadest sense of the word to constitute an overriding principle for urban development and renewal

Sustainability covers both environmental and energy-related factors, for example in the form of compact residential construction, which provides a range of environmental benefits. Moreover, the urban development project will be carried out on a sustainable basis from the perspectives of health and social welfare.

The location close to the station - and thus the opportunity to allow public transport to play a key role - is to be utilised as an asset in a cohesive development plan. The same applies to the proximity to the water, which should be considered as a significant factor in relation to initiatives in the fields of health, energy and the environment.

Considerations of health and social welfare sustainability can, for example, be accommodated by developing the area to include residences of different types and sizes, and in the new part of the town can it can be made attractive for residents and visitors to walk or cycle. Both organised and more spontaneous sports in the form of water sports clubs, running and roller-skating routes, etc. are also options that may be included in the urban development.

Sustainability is to be included in the planning phase and also applied to the actual implementation of the final solutions.
