Gränby - The healthiest neighborhood in the world
Uppsala Arenor and Properties are leading the transformation of Gränby Sports Field into a vibrant, multifunctional district, transitioning from a large-scale, monofunctional sports complex to a lively, mixed-use urban area. The vision is to revitalize the site, giving it a new identity remote from what today features vast open spaces and parking lots surrounded by large scale sports arenas.
The future development will integrate these spaces into a more urban fabric, with city streets, residential neighborhoods, commercial services, public squares, and green spaces. Large asphalt areas will be replaced by multi-story parking garages, optimizing space for a more sustainable urban layout.
This new district aims to be a model for health and well-being, where sports, urban life, and nature coexist harmoniously. With its innovative design, Gränby will become a distinctive urban environment that fosters active living and social connection, setting a new standard for modern, sustainable city planning.
