Why are you choosing to be an H22 partner?
We have exciting times ahead of us, where innovation and new ways of thinking are in focus. Helsingborg is a city at the forefront, and we see Riksbyggen, in collaboration with other partners, as being able to contribute greatly to Helsingborg’s continuing societal development. For H22 City Expo, we’ll have several completed housing projects to showcase, both in Oceanhamnen and Drottninghög. In addition, we’ll be putting our area Kvarteret Spårvagnshallarna on show, an urban development project that’s leading the way in the field. Through the H22 initiative, we can also benefit from synergy effects in working with smart and long-term development that focuses on innovation.
In what way can Helsingborg be used as a test bed for your organisation and innovations?
Helsingborg has a clear ambition that puts a premium on innovation and creativity. By making it possible for our area Kvarteret Spårvagnshallarna to be a satellite for H22, it’s created opportunities for us to have the courage to test new ideas that will be seen and evaluated by both the people of Helsingborg and international visitors.
What does a smarter city mean to you?
A smarter city enables residents, visitors, associations, and businesses to develop in a sustainable way, where it’s easy to do the right thing. A smart city is also a city that includes, involves, and engages its residents to influence and contribute to ensuring equal opportunities for all, regardless of conditions.
In what way do you think H22 can make a difference in these times in which we are living following COVID-19?
By using the knowledge and collaborations found in Helsingborg and which will stem from H22, we can together create a new international presentation platform for smart, digital innovations in societal development. H22 will be a driving force in transitioning to the new reality that is emerging.
