新斯魯森的建設(shè)是瑞典最大的城市改造項目之一。該項目與斯德哥爾摩市合作，耗資 120 億瑞典克朗，旨在打造一個充滿活力的城市街區(qū)，與歷史背景相呼應(yīng)，并改變市中心的面貌。

斯魯森（Slussen）水閘建于 1642 年，是梅拉倫湖海水與淡水的分隔水閘。啟動該改造項目的催化劑是迫切需要更換這一破舊的水利和交通基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。Foster + Partners 的設(shè)計方案重建并加強了這兩個長期以來被迷宮般的道路和混凝土通道隔開的地區(qū)之間的人行連接。它還將改造現(xiàn)有的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施，通過將水閘容量擴大五倍和提供一個 21 世紀的交通換乘樞紐，最大限度地減少洪水的威脅。

“水廣場”是新斯魯森的核心特色，它是一個圍繞新船閘和重新調(diào)整的碼頭布置的步行公共空間，新餐廳、咖啡館和文化設(shè)施為其增添了活力。改造后的全新街區(qū)將匯集一系列多功能建筑，并通過一座優(yōu)雅的新道路和人行天橋加以美化，未來還計劃新建一座專用自行車天橋。建成后，新的公共露臺將為游客提供俯瞰斯德哥爾摩的壯觀景色。

The construction of the New Slussen is one of the largest urban transformation projects in Sweden. Working in collaboration with the City of Stockholm, the SEK 12 Billion project seeks to create a dynamic urban quarter, responding to its historic context and transforming the city centre. 

Slussen, built in 1642, is the lock that separates the sea from the fresh water of Lake M?laren. The catalyst for the project is an urgent need to replace this dilapidated water and transport infrastructure.  The Foster + Partners' design proposal recreates and reinforces pedestrian connections between these two districts that have long been separated by the maze of roads and concrete passages. It will also transform the existing infrastructure to minimise the threat of flooding by expanding the lock capacity five-fold and providing a 21st century transport interchange.

A central feature of New Slussen is the ‘Water Plaza’, a pedestrianised public space arranged around the new navigation lock and realigned quayside, animated by new restaurants, cafes and cultural amenities. There will be a range of mixed-use buildings brought together in the new quarter, enhanced by an elegant new road and pedestrian bridge, with a dedicated new cycle bridge planned for the future. Once complete, the new public terraces will give visitors spectacular views over Stockholm.
