Barkarby
Barkarby, also known as Barkarbystaden is an area in Järfälla Municipality, Stockholm County, Sweden, and part of the contiguously built-up Stockholm urban area. It is currently undergoing a large urban development through the Barkarbystaden project, transforming a former military airbase and airport area into an urban district.
Barkarby has a station on the Stockholm commuter rail network, and two metro stations, Barkarby and Barkarbystaden are set to open in 2027 as an extension of the Stockholm Metro Blue Line.
During the 1912 Summer Olympics, Barkarby hosted the endurance trials for the equestrian eventing competition. Additionally, the equestrian portion of the modern pentathlon competition took place in Barkarby.
Barkarbystaden is a large-scale urban development project located within the Barkarby-Skälby district in Järfälla Municipality and the built-up area of Stockholm. The area is primarily situated on the former site of the Svea Air Wing and later the Svea Air Corps, adjacent to the now-closed Barkarby Airfield.
Barkarbystaden is one of the largest expansion areas in the Stockholm region, with plans to develop 14,000 new homes for 30,000 new residents and thousands of new workplaces in offices and commercial spaces by 2035. The ambition is to transform Järfälla from a suburb into a city, positioning it as a new hub for western Stockholm and the Mälardalen region.
The project includes the construction of 18,000 new homes, comprising both rental and condominium apartments, as well as townhouses and villas. In addition to the existing Barkarby Retail Park, the development plans include up to 10,000 new workplaces by 2030.
The first residents moved into the area on May 23, 2014, with twenty apartments ready for occupancy.
In January 2016, Herrestaskolan, a new primary and secondary school, was completed. It is Sweden's first major school built entirely from cross-laminated timber and features a dance hall, a large library, and a spacious sports hall with stands. The school is equipped with 1,400 square meters of solar panels to cover a significant portion of its energy needs.
