City District Amhult. Amhult is an area in the district of Torslanda, on Hisingen in the municipality of Gothenburg. The area previously consisted of an airport and some scattered farmhouses that have recently been transformed into a brand-new neighborhood in just a few years. Amhult is now one of the most expansive areas in Gothenburg. Solutions come with participation of youth • Listen to the youth – let them come with solutions • Enabling integration through interest not where you live Awareness of different economic conditions • The youth were very aware of their relatively privileged position and how different living conditions are in different parts of the city. • Goose that lays the golden eggs can become unpopular. Volvo is a problem for locals because of the traffic that it creates, etc. But what if Volvo is gone? There is nevertheless a need to diversify economy – over-dependent on auto sector. • The contrast between the lives and aspirations of youth from this community compared to, for instance, Xxxxxxxxxxxx is thought-provoking and tells the story of the diversity of Gothenburg. Distance, traffic and mobility is an issue • Mobility is an issue due to distance, traffic. Most scooters in Gothenburg • Access to the library to create a culture of reading • Sustained accessibility requires maintenance • Vastra Hisingen has a growing number of foreign nationals – protest against houses that were to be built for them • The development of the area was based on what was/is and not guided by questions about access, roads etc. • Impressed with conversion of an old airport Happy youth living the dream but aware of privileges • Happy children. Living their dreams and that they seem to be aware of being very privileged. Awareness of Gothenburg’s image, identity, national aspects.
