"In our vision the implementation of a new railway infrastructure becomes the opportunity to rethink the overall spatial strategy of Piteå towards a more resilient, connected, accessible and ecological town. By providing a flexible, feasible and green public space structure we envision a new urban ecosystem able to both innovate and integrate the specificities of the place able to strengthen the local sense of community by rooting the project in the city’s legacy."
