1. General information
2. Objectives of the intervention
Goals of the intervention
The overall purpose is to create a dense urban settlement with energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable construction, as well as a socially sustainable district. The objectives include green spaces where existing and new vegetation is included (e.g. public outdoor areas such as playgrounds), along with water as an element for outdoor areas. (Ref. 3)
Quantitative targets
To strengthen the areas green character and create a visual connection with the green spaces at least 50% of the roof surfaces should be green roofs; and to further strengthen this sustainable and green appearance at least 10% of the total facade area should be green facades. (Ref. 3) The use of 'Biofaktor' (Biofactor) that expresses biological activity on e.g. a building site or a urban area, where high biofactor indicates high degree of photosynthesis and is used to assess targets. Through extensive planting on gardens, parks, streets, facades and roofs, the areas can obtain a high biofactor. (Ref. 3)
An important part is a highly insulated climate screen, which is incorporated into the project (Ref 10)
The homes built in the project must excel as a sustainable building that focuses on minimizing climate impact, good overall economy with a focus on sustainable operation and a good and healthy environment for the residents. (Ref 9)

Monitoring indicators defined
% of roof surfaces with green roofs;
% of total facade area which is green facade;
'Biofaktor' score (low to high degree of photosynthesis measured-- the greener the surface, the higher the biofactor score)
% of total facade area which is green facade;
'Biofaktor' score (low to high degree of photosynthesis measured-- the greener the surface, the higher the biofactor score)
Sustainability challenge(s) addressed
Climate change adaptation: What were the goals of the NBS?
Climate change adaptation: What activities are implemented to realize the conservation goals and targets?
Implementation activities
A green belt and green wedges will be established between the upcoming settlements, and create recreational areas. Water elements will be included, and the building plan has located areas for these, e.g. in the green wedges between residential buildings, water will also be used for recreation purposes through Local irrigation of Rainwater (LAR). (Ref. 3)
Furthermore, green structures and small biotopes will allow for evaporation of rainwater as well as provide recreational value. (Ref. 3)
