Sweco wins urban planning contract in Russia

Sweco wins urban planning contract in Russia

Sweco has been selected to plan two new urban districts outside St. Petersburg,
Russia, with high demands on a distinct environmental profile. The contract is
worth nearly EUR 530,000. 

“We have once again been chosen for our expertise in planning sustainable
societies. In this case, the client is seeking an explicit environmental focus
combined with Scandinavian architecture and Western quality,” says Jan Mattsson,
President of Sweco's architectural division. 

Sweco will plan housing, parks, commercial/retail centres and places of work on
a total area covering some 500 hectares. In the future, around 100,000 people
will live and work in the two districts.

“Russia offers enormous opportunities for a company like Sweco, due to the rapid
pace of modernisation, construction and expansion,” says Mark Ryberg, Overseas
Manager for Sweco's architects and responsible for the assignment. 

Work will be supervised and coordinated by Sweco's architects in Malmö and will
also involve consultants in road and transport planning, environmental and
geotechnical engineering and hydrology. Sweco is taking part in several similar
assignments related to planning of eco-adapted cities and societies in both
Russia and China.
