City Move Icsid Interdesign results in collaborative project in Gellivare
Gellivare (Sweden) - As an outcome of City Move Icsid Interdesign that took place in the spring of 2009, the municipality of Gellivare has formally decided to begin the vision and planning project "New Gellivare". The project is the result of the municipality and LKAB, the local mining company, deciding to work more jointly on the future of Malmberget and Gellivare. The project itself is owned and controlled by the municipality.
An agreement with LKAB was also announced where the company is contributing funding and resources to the project. LKAB will also help fund a new ski stadium and be the main sponsor of the world cup ski games in Gellivare 2010 and 2012.
This is the result of hard work during the summer of Ulf Hansson, Lennart Johansson and Tommy Nyström from the municipality; Anders Furbeck and Karl Wikström from LKAB; Ulf von Sydow from SVID; and Lars Albinsson, consultant, researcher, co-designer and Interdesign participant appointed to manage "New Gellivare" as a result of the Interdesign workshop.
The project will have two phases. The first is a vision phase, where a clear image of the future city will be developed. Citizens, local business will be brought into this process, beginning this fall. This phase can be thought of as co-design of a programme. The second phase is the more traditional planning process of taking the consequences of the vision and programme. The vision phase is scheduled to finish during fall of 2010. The whole project will end in 2012.
The City Move Icsid Interdesign workshop made two very important contributions in making this happen. The first was to show a vast number of possibilities, which helped people realise that there are far more options than they thought earlier. The other was the strong emphasis on the need for more collaboration between the municipality, LKAB and other parties. The City Move ideas will of course be brought into the process.
More detailed plans are now being made for the activities in the project.
