From BBC:
Sustainability is the motto of the Western Harbour (Vaestra Hamnen) project in the southern city of Malmo. There are futuristic buildings sporting massive glass windows and glinting solar panels. But turn a corner and you find a green courtyard with a little pond and some modest timber structures that remind you of Swedish villages. “I really like the diversity of houses – and they’ve made it easy here to live in a sustainable way,” says Helena Parker, who was among the first to move into the area in 2001.
A former shipyard and industrial site is being turned into a green residential area based on 100% use of renewable energy. The first phase of Western Harbour, called Bo01, now has 1,000 homes, covering 25ha (62 acres). But eventually the area will accommodate 10,000 residents and 20,000 employees and students.
