Can minimalism be related to sustainability and is it enough in terms of its environmental impact —households’ consumption— to make a change and reduce our emissions? By 2050, with a growing population, Södertälje must attend to a great housing demand. The project addresses this by challenging the culture of housing ownership in favor of a culture of access and smaller individual spaces with more shared facilities. With this intervention, the city starts to retrofit neighborhoods, spaces and the access to them using the current streets.
