In connection with SVT&rsquo;s major series <em>How Sweden Was Built<\/em> (<em>S&aring; byggdes Sverige<\/em>), ArkDes invites upper secondary school classes from across the country to take part in the design competition <em>Living Streets<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The assignment: Create a prototype for a sustainable, healthy, and vibrant street. How can tomorrow&rsquo;s streets be designed when cars are no longer the starting point?<\/p>\n<p>To get started, teachers and students can use <a href=\"https:\/\/arkdes.se\/en\/visit\/schools\/upper-secondary-school\/\">the <em>Living Streets<\/em> toolkit<\/a> &ndash; an educational resource with a design process, background material, and exercises for use in the classroom.<\/p>\n<p>Students can also find inspiration in the SVT series <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.svtplay.se\/sa-byggdes-sverige\">How Sweden was built &#8599;<\/a><\/em>. In eight episodes, starting on 30 October, Gert Wing&aring;rdh, Mark Isitt, and Petra Mede &ndash; together with a range of experts &ndash; explore themes such as the city, the suburb, the industrial town, and the residential street. ArkDes has contributed archival material to the production.<\/p>\n<p>All upper secondary schools are welcome to participate, and several entries may be submitted from the same school or class. Registration is open throughout the competition period: 30 October 2025&ndash;13 March 2026.<\/p>\n<p>Entries are submitted digitally to ArkDes. A submission template will be sent to participating schools on 28 January 2026.<br>\nThe jury consists of Gert Wing&aring;rdh, Mark Isitt, and from ArkDes, Madel&eacute;ne Beckman, Kris Johnson-Jones, and Olle Lundin.<\/p>\n<p>The winning proposal will be exhibited at Torget at ArkDes in May 2026.<\/p>\n<p>The competition is especially suitable for subjects such as architecture, design, art, geography, cultural history, and construction.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section>\n    <div class=\"container my-2.5 2:flex justify-between items-start\">\n        <div class=\"max-w-inline w-full p-2.5 inline-content bg-green text-black\">\n                            <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><html><body><p class=\"lead\">Download the toolkit here: <a href=\"https:\/\/arkdes.se\/en\/visit\/schools\/upper-secondary-school\/\">Link<\/a><\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section>\n    <div class=\"container my-2.5 2:flex justify-between items-start\">\n        <div class=\"max-w-inline w-full p-2.5 inline-content bg-cyan text-black\">\n                            <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<?xml encoding=\"UTF-8\"><html><body><p class=\"lead\">Register your class for the competition here: registration is closed<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"container my-2.5\">\n        <div class=\"card-wrap\">\n                    <article class=\"card theme-default-shadow theme-default-shadow-hover relative\" data-track-content data-content-name=\"ArkDes expands on SVT\u2019s major new series\u00a0&amp;quot;How Sweden Was Built&amp;quot;\">\n    <div class=\"card-header\">\n                    <a\n                class=\"card-tag button button-black z-[10]\"\n                href=\"https:\/\/arkdes.se\/en\/news\/\"\n            >\n                News\n            <\/a>\n        \n                    <div class=\"card-date\">\n                \n                                    <span class=\"lowercase\">\n                        29.10.2025\n                    <\/span>\n                \n\n\n                            <\/div>\n        \n        \n            <\/div>\n\n                    <a\n            class=\"expanded-hit-area\"\n            href=\"https:\/\/arkdes.se\/en\/news\/arkdes-expands-on-svts-major-new-series-how-sweden-was-built\/\"\n            onclick=\"document.getElementById('dateForm_69df21d99555b').submit(); return false;\"\n            data-content-target=\"https:\/\/arkdes.se\/en\/news\/arkdes-expands-on-svts-major-new-series-how-sweden-was-built\/\"\n        >\n        <h2\n        class=\"card-title\"\n        id=\"card-title69df21d99555a\"\n    >\n        ArkDes expands on SVT\u2019s major new series\u00a0&quot;How Sweden Was Built&quot;\n    <\/h2>\n            <\/a>\n    \n            <div class=\"card-categories\">\n                            <a\n                    class=\"button button-rounded relative z-[10]\"\n                    href=\"https:\/\/arkdes.se\/en\/nyheter-kategorier\/arkdes-2\/\"\n                >\n                    ArkDes\n                <\/a>\n                    <\/div>\n    \n    <div class=\"card-image-holder\">\n                    <div class=\"card-image\">\n                <figure class=\"w-full\" aria-hidden='true'>\n    <div class=\"relative\">\n        \n        <picture class=\"w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ohmyhosting.se\/R1XYY09ASLKT_vj-kiMVoY_vT8E=\/fit-in\/370x246\/smart\/filters:quality(10):blur(9)\/https%3A%2F%2Farkdes.se%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F10%2FFoto-Christoffer-Lomfors_SVT-avtal.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.ohmyhosting.se\/_Ux5mfyplNfPGRSOp_SxVnJGRIQ=\/370x246\/smart\/filters:quality(85)\/https%3A%2F%2Farkdes.se%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F10%2FFoto-Christoffer-Lomfors_SVT-avtal.jpg 1x, https:\/\/images.ohmyhosting.se\/WglcIERM77j6MqAHqjm3TXp0J-0=\/740x493\/smart\/filters:quality(85)\/https%3A%2F%2Farkdes.se%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2025%2F10%2FFoto-Christoffer-Lomfors_SVT-avtal.jpg 2x\" alt=\"\" class=\"w-full block\" height=\"246.69352204682\" width=\"370\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n\n            <figcaption class=\"text-sm mt-2.5 flex flex-col gap-2.5\">\n                        In autumn 2025, SVT makes a major investment in architecture and urban design with the series &quot;How Sweden Was Built&quot; (S\u00e5 byggdes Sverige).
