This is a video I took on our groups tour of a “green village” in Malmo Sweden. The village was called Augustenborg and has been a decade long restoration project of a slum. A cool feature of the project is that the city enforces a rent control on the area so that former resident’s would continue to have affordable rent, rather than displacing them in favor of new residents who may have been able to afford higher rents. This is a system that the world has much to learn from and should serve as a model for redevelopment in urban area’s. For more see earlier posts on this blog concerning the tour and enjoy this video I took on the green roof technology they employ in Augestenborg.
