The objective for Hammarby Sjöstad was to build a sustainable community that would be twice as efficient as a normal one. The objective regarding transport is that 80% of all the trips made from and to Hammarby Sjöstad by residents and people working in the area will be made by using public transport, walking or biking.
The Hammarby could also strengthen its social cohesion in order to develop its sustainable lifestyle habits. Today the Lake City offers a more sustainable framework for everyday life compare to the average Swedish city but hardly challenges its inhabitants to lead a more resilient life.
Hammarby Sjöstad implemented an integrated approach that incorporates human-scale design, sustainable resource use, ecology, and low-carbon transport. Its strong environmental goals shaped the integrated plan, which covers land use, urban form, transport, building materials, energy, water, and sewage.
The Hammarby Sjöstad project began in the 1990s as a way to meet the sustainable housing and infrastructure needs of the city’s growing population. The project has involved regenerating an old industrial and harbour area into a modern mixed-used space that has a low environmental impact.
Hammarby Sjöstad shows that an urban district can be built with a far lower environmental impact than traditional projects, as the following facts prove: • The environmental impact is 30–40% lower than for a typical district built in the 1990s. • Car use is 14% lower than in comparable districts in Stockholm.
