Barkarby

[1] Barkarbystaden is a large-scale urban development project located within the Barkarby-Skälby district in Järfälla Municipality and the built-up area of Stockholm.

Barkarbystaden is one of the largest expansion areas in the Stockholm region, with plans to develop 14,000 new homes for 30,000 new residents and thousands of new workplaces in offices and commercial spaces by 2035.

[2] The ambition is to transform Järfälla from a suburb into a city, positioning it as a new hub for western Stockholm and the Mälardalen region.

[8][9] The development area spans approximately 15 hectares and includes streets, squares, and "Å-rummet" featuring the Bällsta River.

This area is designed as a prominent parkland with greenery, water features, logs, stones, bridges, and attractions, scheduled to be inaugurated at the end of June 2024.

[10] Bas Barkarby, a multifunctional block serving as a meeting place for businesses, education, sports, health, and culture, was completed in early 2022.

The area is being developed with ground-level commercial spaces to create a vibrant urban district, featuring squares, offices, hotels, and parking garages.

[11] Skanska, involved in developing the district's infrastructure, has built a bridge over the E18 motorway connecting Barkarbystaden with Veddesta.
