What can the future city look like?
Volvo asked itself this question in connection with their last year as the main sponsor of the world’s toughest sailing competition. Volvo Ocean Race. The City of Gothenburg’s bus line 16 would also be inaugurated where Volvo’s new electrified bus will run. Forsman & Bodenfors gave it a nice bus-stop at the Volvo Ocean Race’s festival area. Quietly, it slipped into the future city free from noise and disposable items, full of edible plants on both vertical and horizontal surfaces. Draping plants and hanging berry bushes and trees gave visitors a unique experience. Those who came on the last day of the visit could get these at the subsequent plant market. Part of the future sustainable city.
