DN Opinion. Build the opera house and the Nobel Center on the Loudden

the Oil terminal Loudden, which has been in operation since 1928, are to be phased out. Here are some 80 oil on top of the caverns that was blasted out for the storage of, inter alia, beredskapsdiesel.

Sprängstenen tipped in Lindarängsviken and form since 1971, the container port, which next year will move to the Norviken in Nynäshamn. Thereafter, the soil should be cleaned up. One might wonder how it could be done by the land filled with blasted rock down to 14.5 meters deep.

In the nearby Southern Värtan, Stockholm city proposal to clean-up criticised by the provincial government as inadequate housing, kindergartens and playgrounds should be constructed in the area. Children are especially sensitive to environmental toxins. Östermalmsborna protest against the way the city to clean up and purify the soil that is estimated to be 30-50 truck trips per day in 20 years time.

now, the opportunities to build on the Loudden and container port with around 4,000 apartments, a proposal that the Conservatives want to extend to 10,000, of which a 300-metre high residential building. This is also planned for kindergartens and playgrounds.

the Conservatives have already mortgaged the income from the markförsäljningen to a burial of the Centralbron. But, the contamination with petroleum products during the 91 years of time should far outshine both Gasverksområdet as the Peacefulness the industrial area of Hammarby lake.

Maria Schottenius wrote in DN (15 march 2016) before the plans to build Nobel prize Center at Blasieholmen: ”As usual when it comes to the headless construction projects in Stockholm, wake up people of late. The people of stockholm will pay dearly for their slowness and the excessive credence to local politicians who want to make an impact”.

”Give the locals the library they deserve,” wrote SvD's Elisabet Andersson (18 march) and referred to the Helsinki new praktbygge – the shimmering new library Ode. Gunnar Asplund's world-famous, the heritage creation in the Swedish capital does not rebuild without losing their distinctiveness.

a refurbishment of the Opera has now taken a step to, after several years of delay. It will be twice as expensive as previously estimated. The cost was estimated at sek 2 billion, but the final report ends up at over 4 billion.

For a facility it continues to use, which is expected to receive the 600,000 visitors per year were Blasieholmen a total failure from the trafiksynpunkt, even if the city council in their appeal considered that 120 more buses per day only marginally would affect the traffic situation in the City. The place was completely wrong, but the need for a facility it continues to use remains.

construction of Housing in Stockholm is concentrated to the spectacular and svårbebyggda areas överdäckningar or svårsanerade industry and kajområden. It caters to an affluent clientele at the same time as the queue of low - and middle-income earners increases. Loudden and container port are such areas

better to instead build on the Loudden and container port with public buildings. The inlet to Stockholm is a spectacular location where the ferry and cruise passengers passing through. It should appeal prestigehungriga local councillors.

With the experience of the failed procurement of the New Karolinska perhaps an offering to the market, be out of place. The city accounts for the ground, the contractor for the clean-up, building, operation and maintenance.

Sweden has so many talented architects like this can have free reign and Stockholm can take up the competition with the opera, a library and a high-rise building in Copenhagen, Oslo and Helsinki. Perhaps even the Turning Torso in Malmö, sweden can end up in the shade?
