In winter cities it is normal that piled-up snow, perhaps moved by the wind or the snowplows, subtracts a large part of the public space, the surfaces compacted by the trampling become dangerously slippery, the melting water, the ice and the slush behave as physical and mental barriers to soft mobility, that seasonal deposits capture large quantities of pollutants and congest the water disposal system.

Il piano di sviluppo dell’area Vassara-Sandviken di War in the Winter introduce una serie di principi progettuali che mirano a rendere il paesaggio urbano particolarmente adattabile alle inondazioni, alle rigide temperature del circolo polare artico, alle nevicate e agli squilibri ambientali indotti dal riscaldamento climatico.
