Fosie industriby is one of the largest industrial areas in INDUSTRIBY
Malmö. Situated by the outer ringroad, and the railway,
the location is central, both in a local and global context.
Though the site is also within the 30 min range of biking
from the inne city, accesible for workers living within the
city, it represents the very limit of the city.

6. EDGE TYPOLOGY
Edges are established in order to highlight the inherent, but
challenged natural qualities at the site. Increasing the pres-
ence of nature by densification of typologies. The work on
establishing, or finding, these edges lead to the development
of a zoning map deciding where, and how to densify.
