Nestled in the centre of the nature reserve of Järvafältet is Eggeby Gård, the local folkets park, and its operations manager - Örjan Hultén. He speaks to us about the Jarva region and its demographic, its challenges, its positives and its great potential. Integral to Eggeby’s identity is its relation with the community, however, Örjan finds himself needing to overcome hurdles of physical and perceived distances as well as navigating the complex social issues
of the area.
By investigating the site through different scales, we ask ourselves what are the needs of this folkets park for the future? How can both peoples and natures needs be catered for holistically? How can these needs be designed to future-proof itself against political, climatic and economic changes?
Working in close contact with Örjan, we hope to create a proposal for the green wedge of Jarva, one that cements Eggeby Gård’s position as a community hub and as a folkets park of the future.
