surviving parks into venues for festivals, outdoor cinemas, and markets. “Design has the unique ability to bridge gaps—between generations, cultures, and communities. By creating spaces that encourage connection and activity, we can counteract the fragmentation of modern life. If we, with and by design, can offer people a sense of warmth, openness, and solidarity, we can push back against the colder societal climate we see not just in Sweden, but across the world,” adds Henrik Edlund.
