Nice to know that you like the project. It is really good to know that the Northern part of metropolis will have a new place of attraction.
However, I am very sorry for a mistake in the name 'Arenastaden'. It would be very nice, if someone of our moderators corrected it. Thank you very much!

Changed the title for you. Great work posting the project info. I hope to enjoy looking round the mall once it's completed, connected to the light rail and rail too.

Thank you very much for reacting very quickly!
Hopefully, it will look very good and urban once it is completed.

Looks interesting. I quite like the exterior design,but interior looks bit too ordinary. When exactly is this supposed to be completed? 2013 or 2014?

Looks much better than the malls in Auckland you would be used to at least!

A Dutch company 'Grontmij' will design the 'Mall of Scandinavia':

I wish they'd get rid of the horrid name (I cringe just thinking about how people will call it "Mål åf Skändinejvia"). Other than that I am loving the interior shots-- and it is a great idea to have a Dutch architect design it imo.

Sådana här projekt där hela stadsdelar ska byggas upp på en och samma gång får mig att undra hur mycket som byggherrarna och hur mycket som lagar och statliga myndigheter ansvarar för. Det är ju knappast ett hållbart stadsbyggande. Byggherrarna samordningsvinster samt kulturmiljöskydd tillsammans med en odemokratisk överklaganderätt bidrar till en ohållbar stadsutveckling, likt denna i Arenastaden.

Det spelar ingen roll hur flashiga byggnaderna ser ut idag, eller imorgon. I övermorgon kommer färgen ha flagnat, stenplattorna ha satt sig och glaset blivit repigt (se globenområdet), och nya jätteinvesteringar behövs byggas för att revitalisera området.

Nu vill jag inte klanka ner allt för mycket på etta projekt. Arenan är häftig, designen på externhandelsvaruhuset är snyggt och det är bra att (alibi?-) bostäder byggs i området.

I don't think this area will be as divided from the community as Globen. It's far more integrated and shopping will be more of a focus here than we see at Globen.

I agree with Svartmetall, this area will be better integrated than Globen. However, it will still be barely aceptable at this and so will the urbanity of the complex. It's a basically 4 monofunctionall developments situated right next to each other and lacking in connections to its surroundings. Not that the surroundings invite any real connections anyway. The railtyards, the greenspace and the un-urban residential enclave don't make for an easy place to create an urban place.

My point is that it's unsustainable, mostly economically, to build large scale development areas all at once. The biggest problem is that the urban environment will age in the same time, which often leads to a large demand of renovation at the same time, unlike small development projects in or in connection with an existing urban area. That means that the public perception of the area will change more dramatically over time, which is a matter of social sustainability as well.

Min poäng var att det är ohållbart, inte minst ekonomsikt, att bygga ut stora stadsdelar på en och samma gång. Det finns flera problem med ett sådant förfarande. Främst för att det innebär att behovet av renovering lär komma ungefär samtidigt för hela området (se globen). Det betyder att det krävs stora klumpvisa investeringar för att upprätthålla ett områdes status, istället för att området successivt piffas till. Detta är också en fråga om ägarförhållanden kring fastigheterna i området.
