A group of future landscape contractors from the YH program at Akademi Båstad received a comprehensive overview of the blue-green solutions in Augustenborg, Möllevången, and Västra Hamnen. We also took the opportunity to examine various types of paving – both good and bad examples.
The group visited Neptunigatan, a street in Malmö that showcases innovative urban design and blue-green solutions. This area features sustainable stormwater management, green infrastructure, and several biofilters designed to improve water quality and reduce flood risks. Neptunigatan serves as a great example of how urban streets can integrate nature to create more resilient, environmentally friendly cities.

A large group of Japanese businessmen and bank employees spent two hours on a Sunday morning visiting Greenhouse in Augustenborg. The visit offered an opportunity to explore sustainable practices and green infrastructure, and provided valuable insights into how these solutions are being integrated into urban environments in Malmö.
Ministry of Funds and Regional Policy selected participants from 10 Polish cities and sent them to Malmö to learn more about energy efficiency and sustainability. A 3-hour tour of Augustenborg, starting with a lecture on blue-green solutions, was the perfect fit for this group. A big thank you to the Mazovia Energy Agency and the World Bank for organizing the visit!
The visit began with an introductory lecture at Teater Augusten. This session provided a great overview of sustainable urban development, focusing on blue-green solutions and their integration into city planning. The lecture set the stage for the following tour, allowing participants to better understand the practical applications of these solutions in Malmö’s urban landscape.

The group visited the laundry room from the future at Greenhouse in Augustenborg, where innovative solutions for sustainable living are being showcased. The laundry room is designed with energy efficiency and resource conservation in mind, incorporating modern technologies that reduce water and energy consumption. It’s part of a larger effort to create a more sustainable and environmentally friendly living space, demonstrating how everyday facilities can be integrated into the blue-green infrastructure of urban design. The visit sparked interesting discussions about how such concepts can be applied in other urban settings to promote sustainability.
