We reflect on an inspiring online session that took us to Helsingborg, Sweden, for a deep dive into Oceanhamnen, one of the country’s most forward-looking waterfront developments. The webinar explored how placemaking principles are actively shaping this emerging district, turning it into a people-centered, vibrant, and sustainable part of the city.

Our guest speaker Sara Schlyter offered valuable insights into the project’s vision and implementation, while co-hosts Clémentine Robert and Laura Pellegrinelli from Placemaking Europe’s Place-Led Development Working Group guided the conversation
