Have you heard of Järvafältet? It’s the vast green area stretching across Solna, Sundbyberg, Stockholm, Järfälla, and Sollentuna — home to nature reserves, beautiful deciduous and coniferous forests, historic farms, and wide open fields. It’s an area that could be an incredible recreational destination for residents across the Stockholm region, but its full potential sadly remains untapped.
At ByggVesta, together with architect Måns Tham, we’re advocating for Järvafältet to become a shared metropolitan park.
In Måns Tham’s concept sketches, the green corridors leading into the field have been reimagined to feel more inviting, featuring barbecue areas, playgrounds, sports fields, and community gardens. These corridors would not only bring nature closer to surrounding neighborhoods but also enhance biodiversity in nearby gardens and parks.
Some of the gravel paths through the area could be paved and maintained year-round to allow use by pedestrians, cyclists, e-vehicles, and skateboarders. A dedicated high-speed cycle path across Järvafältet could make it easy to travel from, for example, Rinkebyterrassen to Kista — transforming a daily commute into a five-minute bike ride through lush greenery instead of crowded subway transfers or highway traffic.
