The task set by Västerås city authority has been to present a vision for Västerås. We have been free to make an analysis, and test ideas regarding the development of the city of Västerås. The core idea of the project has been to propose that the railway, creating a barrier from the old city centre to the lakeshore, be raised. By lifting the railway opportunities to make links are greatly improved. At the same time an interesting environment surrounding the railway is created for commercial and cultural use.
