As an afternoon rain shower approaches, a shopper walks through the underpass and up the ramp from her car to the shopping mall. The bus is about to stop at the tunnelbana station. Various modes of transport are interconnected in the center of new towns. |
This is the parking lot at the foot of
the ramp from Vallingby centrum.
The parking lot serves both the shopping area and the tunnelbana station (right background). |
The central areas of new towns are
designed to be complete city centers as well as shopping areas.
This is the major sports hall in Vallingby. The sports hall is located immediately adjacent to the downtown commercial zone. |
Public art tends to be everywhere in new towns. These flat metal sculptures, which rotate when the wind blows, are located in front of the sports hall. |
