Feasibility study center development Hedemora
About the project
Hedemora municipality wants to develop a more attractive, vibrant, and accessible city center together with local businesses, property owners, and associations. Through a feasibility study, opportunities and concrete measures will be identified to create a more inclusive central environment, with a particular focus on people with disabilities.
The work encompasses the area around Åsgatan and Stora torget, where accessibility, mobility, and the city's cultural-historical values are at the center. Through mapping, dialogues, and workshops, the feasibility study will lay the foundation for future improvements that strengthen local trade, create pleasant meeting places, and make Hedemora center more welcoming for both residents and visitors.
Purpose The project aims to lay the foundation for a more attractive, accessible, and inclusive city center in Hedemora. By identifying concrete improvement measures, the feasibility study will contribute to more people being able to take part in the offerings of the center, while also strengthening local trade and highlighting the city's cultural-historical values.
The background to the project
The background to the project is a need to improve accessibility in Hedemora center, where, among other things, sidewalks, store entrances, and public environments pose obstacles for people with disabilities. Hedemora also has many visitors with disabilities, including through the company Anpassarna, which offers vehicle adaptations and adapted driving license training, as well as the city's parasport activities.
The project has emerged through strong local engagement where the company Faster Forward and the business association Hedemora Handlingskraft, together with local entrepreneurs and property owners, have highlighted the need for improvements. In collaboration with Hedemora municipality, the actors want to create conditions for a more accessible, attractive, and vibrant city center that benefits both residents, visitors, and the local business community.
