Important results from the project
Gävle is building a multifunctional building. The project is based on a common strategy for collaboration between different functions and organizational cultures. There is great potential in using the multifunction house for a test bed. The aim of the preparatory project was to investigate how such a test bed can best be designed. This includes which actors should be included and tests the environment can be opened for, how to follow up on effects and which indicators to be used in the follow-up.
Expected long term effects
Gävle´s goals for the project include shared premises, developed and active cross-border cooperation that benefits the target groups, "we-feeling" between the functions, joint meeting places, collaboration between employees, associations, external performers and residents within SH and new solutions for the challenges of the future. The project will be part of the decision-making for Gävle municipality on how a test bed for the development of multifunctional municipal buildings should be designed.
