Uppsala’s new tramway – a 17 km of artistic embodiment

How to create a tramway that is not only a transport solution but also part of the city’s identity? In this webinar you get an insight into how architecture, design and art work together to shape Uppsala’s future tramway. The new tramway will connect Uppsala C with a new train station in south-east Uppsala and is a collaboration between Uppsala Municipality and Region Uppsala. Kristina Forssbeck Nyrot, landscape architect and leader for designed environment, and Wanja Eriksson, art project manager at Region Uppsala, talk about their work to design a sustainable and visually cohesive transport environment along the 17 km long stretch.

In the conversation series Designed Living Environments for Breakfast we meet architects, artists, cilvil servants, politicians and researchers to get a unique insight into new strategies and working methods on how different aspects of designed living environment can impact and contribute to improve conditions in our society. The webinars are held once a month during spring and fall and take place on Thursdays between 08.30-09.30. You connect through the digital plattform Teams with a link posted in calendar events in connection with the events, no pre-registration is requested.

The conversation series is organized in a collaboration between Region Uppsala, Region Halland, Region Blekinge, Region Jämtland Härjedalen and Region Västmanland.
