Åby+berm Urban+planning PDF
The Åby area does not communicate with other town parts, because
most of its deserted fields are not accessible, also because it is a sepa-
rated zone in Mölndals town grid. The local habitants are forced to
walk along the area which are shielded by the traffic routes. The area
is missing visitor friendly green zones. Though ,the quality of the
Åby area is its lively and populated feeling during horse races and
training matches at sport areas in South.
