Welcome to the opening of the People's Walk in Oceanhamnen in Helsingborg
On Thursday 2 June, we will open the People's Walk, a pilot project for FairShare, which aims to create a more accessible and equal urban environment. The project, a collaboration between OBOS and the City of Helsingborg, will be launched during the H22 City Expo in Helsingborg. The route runs between the Dockan park and Redaregatan in the new Oceanhamnen residential area by the sea in Helsingborg.
– The People's Walk is a completely new way of letting our residents make their mark on the urban environment by leaving their own message of equality to both present and future Helsingborg citizens and visitors, and it will be very exciting to see the results, says Christian Orsing, Chairman of the City Planning Board.
– At the People's Walk, OBOS will present its vision of the Garden City – Home for More. A completely new concept to put people and individuals at the centre. By starting from health, safety, community, equality, inclusion, diversity and economic equality, we have set the direction for how we want OBOS residential areas to look and feel, says Ola Pettersson, project manager for H22, at OBOS.
Welcome to join us!
Time: Thursday 2 June at 14.00
Location: People's Walk, between the park Dockan and Redaregatan in Oceanhamnen.

Helsingborg – one of Europe's most innovative cities
This is an award presented by the European Commission to the European city that best demonstrates its ability to use innovation to improve the quality of life of its citizens.
Helsingborg has a proud tradition of organising major trade fairs. In 1955, the H55 craft and design fair attracted an audience of millions. In 1999, H99 became the precursor to a number of other trade fairs in the country. With H22, Helsingborg is taking this tradition to the next level and focusing on an issue that has become increasingly pressing over time. H22 City Expo is about the journey towards a smarter, more caring and sustainable city.
