This document proposes creating "urban life corridors" to reconnect different areas of Rosengård in Malmo, Sweden. The corridors would blend human groups and activities to create new, unexpected results. They would connect open spaces to the urban grid through a web of mixed uses and activities. This would allow for different experiences for different people and encourage movement through the area. Examples of potential activities along the corridors include an amphitheater, outdoor cinema, skate park, graffiti walls, and interactive walls. The goal is to link currently separated areas and functions to promote inclusion.
