Sport in the city
The role of sport in the city is one of SLA ’s special areas of competence. We believe that sport adds life and activity to the city, and its positive input should be combined with the other functions of the city. We endeavour as far as possible to create space for sport where people live and work. SLA is interested in both the wider area of sport, organised sport and the steadily increasing informal sport practiced in urban spaces.
Our aim is to keep abreast of research and new trends within sports culture in order to create better projects.
Some of the services SLA offers in this connection are:
-
Development of site-specific strategies for integrating sport into city development and urban space.
-
Research, presentations and publications which contribute to the discussion of sport in urban spaces
-
Project management and time management
-
Programming
-
Planning and design
-
Evaluation and assessment.
Examples of projects where sport plays an important part:
