Möllan Voices - Empowering the Local Perspectives

FOJAB has been selected to be part of "Malmö in the Making", the City of Malmö's initiative to explore what the city's spaces, architecture and culture mean to the people of Malmö and how we can shape the city's development together.

During Malmö in the making, we want to contribute with a program point, where we together with professionals, entrepreneurs and residents of Möllan explore different perspectives on what it is that makes Möllan a good place to live and work.

FOJAB's program item MÖLLAN VOICES - EMPOWERING THE LOCAL PERSPECTIVES wants to explore how several different local perspectives can be expressed in the urban development process and what different future images can look like.

Why do we do it?
The purpose of our program item MÖLLAN VOICES - EMPOWERING THE LOCAL PERSPECTIVES is to:

• Explore why Möllan residents and workers choose to be there, how they use the public space in their neighborhood, and what their dreams and visions are for the future of Möllan.
• Explore alternative ways to empower local residents and workers to influence urban development in their area.
• Create a better basis for architects to fulfill their task of taking in and understanding an entire neighborhood and the different perspectives that exist there, in order to sustainably plan for the future of Möllan and Malmö.
• Involve and work across disciplines, showing and strengthening the diversity and differences of Malmö.
• Create a Möllan guide, for Möllan today and for Möllan's future, by and for Möllan residents, workers and entrepreneurs at Möllan.
