Frida Eriksson is the urban development planner at the planning office of the Municipality of Varberg. She is also one of the thematic experts in the PROSPERA project. At the moment she is using the knowledge of the PROSPERA with the purpose of putting it into action in the peri-urban area of Varöbacka. Varöbacka is a small village outside Varberg where there are plans for a new railway station.
The development of Väröbacka will focus on the natural areas that serve as a basis of growing sustainably. The area has vast agricultural lands and a lager industry which means planning for sustainable mobility while balancing different interests. In the autumn of 2020, there will be stakeholder dialogues and local participation in the project!
