This means that we must mitigate climate change largely at the local level that we must work for the sustainable city. Municipalities must function as role-models on the climate issue” Ilmar Reepalu, Mayor of Malmö 2008 Figure 4: Malmö, Sweden (Source: Google Earth) Introduction Malmö is Sweden’s third largest city with a population of 293,909 as of the 1st of January 2010. Malmö is the seat of Malmö Municipality and the capital of Skåne County in southern Sweden. During the eighties and nineties Malmö underwent a period of economic recession and high unemployment. However, during the last decade Malmö has consciously reinvented itself as a sustainable multi-cultural European city of the future with major developments such as the opening of Malmö University. Malmö City actively works to facilitate the city's traffic, with a strong focus on public transport and non-motorized transport, especially bicycle. There are 143,000 jobs in Malmö city and 55,000 people commute daily into the city to work. The following outlines Malmo’s modal split for those commuting to work every day. Page | 3 Smarter Travel European Precedent Study April 2010 Malmö - Mode of Travel to Work Proportion of Proportion of journeys to work journeys to work by foot by public transport 6% 18% Proportion of journeys to work by bicycle 24% Proportion of journeys to work by car 52% Figure 5: Malmö Commuting Modal Split (Source: Urban Audit 2004) Malmö city incorporates approximately 420 kilometres of bicycle paths, containing more bicycle pathways than any other Swedish city, thus being known as “Sweden’s Cycle City.” Malmö has five kilometres more than its sister-city Copenhagen, a city world famous for its bicycle culture. The City of Malmö (Malmö’s city council) carries out a large-scale travel habits survey every five years, with the most recent survey having been carried out in 2008. In addition, the traffic is counted yearly at 140 traffic measure points across the city. From this the movement of the traffic to and from different areas in Malmö is obtained. The city’s monitoring of the changes in the travel habits of its people has so far conveyed that cars are being used for shorter journeys less often. In addition, the number of journeys per person for 2008 and 2003 is on average the same. However, the number of car journeys fell from 52% of all journeys in 2003 to 41% in 2008. Conversely, the number of shorter journeys on foot and by bicycle increased, and for longer distances the number of train journeys also increased. This is in line with the increases in rail and bicycle traffic recorded in the entire region. Overall, the percentage of bicycle journeys rose from 20% to 23%, with the number of journeys on foot increasing from 14% to 20%. Train journeys also increased from 3% to 5%. The modal split for all journeys is outlined in Figure 6. Cycling In 2008 Cycling in Malmö increased by 11%; with approximately 30% of all transport journeys occurring on a bicycle. As much as 40% of all work-related activities are undertaken by bicycle. Malmö’s high cycling rates can be attributed to its continuous investment in providing well connected and integrated cycle routes.

Universitetsholmen is a small artificial island in Malmö harbour, surrounded by bays and channels, to the west of the train station. This route varies significantly in character. In the north, it runs past the old part of town before following the fashionable street of Fersens Väg, then along Pildammsvägen before branching off eastwards to the suburbs. Figure 7 below highlights the density of the existing (in red) and proposed (in blue) cycle network of Malmö. The red circles in Figure 7 signify cycle bridges and cycle tunnels. Malmö city continuously invests in improving its cycle routes and its already impressive percentage of bicycle mode share. At present a variety of solutions are being tested along this stretch of cycle network already mentioned which runs through Malmö from the southern part of the inner city to Universitetsholmen in the north. Malmö city’s aim is to make cycling faster, safer and more enjoyable. The innovations introduced along this route include rails at traffic lights which cyclists can rest against so that they do not need to put their feet down. Large mirrors have also been erected at crossings to allow cyclists to see around corners where visibility would otherwise be poor. Different types of lighting are also being trialled along the route to improve visibility in the dark. Air pumps have been installed at six locations around the city for cyclists who need to top up their air. (Similar pumps can be found in Odense in Denmark). The pumps can also be used for prams and wheelchairs. Tools have been added to the three air pumps along the cycle route, turning them into mini-service stations where cyclists can carry out basic repairs. Page | 5 Smarter Travel European Precedent Study April 2010 Figure 7: Malmö Cycle Network (Source: Malmö Stad - Official website of City of Malmö. www.Malmö.se) “Cycling barometers” at different locations in the city automatically count and display passing cyclists which provide a visual indication of cycling levels in Malmö; showing how many people cycle in Malmö, encouraging and reminding cyclists that they are appreciated. Radar sensors have been fitted at 28 intersections in Malmö to detect approaching cyclists and automatically give them a green light at intersections, which are not already crowded by car traffic. At the junctions the lights turn green quickly in favour of the oncoming cyclists allowing cyclists to flow more smoothly in traffic. A free map is also available which portrays all of Malmö’s cycle paths. The map is updated every year to show new cycle paths. The latest version is always available from

  • Mega Transport Project Financing in Sweden and Denmark – Does Financing Outside the Normal Channels Have Sustainability Implications?
    Mega transport project financing in Sweden and Denmark – does financing outside the normal channels have sustainability implications? Authors: Fredrik Pettersson*, Ida Sundberg and Dr. Jamil Khan Keywords: Infrastructure, financing models, sustainability * Corresponding author. PhD Student at the Faculty of Engineering, Environmental and Energy systems studies at Lund University, Sweden. Contact: [email protected], phone nr +46462228641 or +46737156358 Introduction Since the early 1990s several high profile mega transport projects have been constructed in Sweden and Denmark. Today the importance of new investments in transport infrastructure continues to be a very central concern, and many of the projects currently being debated are certainly gigantic in terms of costs as well as impacts on the transport system. The main justifications for investments in new projects may be very different, but altogether it can be asserted that the demand for new investments in infrastructure greatly exceeds the available means allotted through the national state budgets, and thus the question of alternative financing models remains a very important one. Given the gigantic costs associated with many of the projects constructed since the 1990s, a crucial factor enabling the implementation of these projects has been financing models allowing for the raising of the necessary capital without having to go through the normal channels of direct budget capital. Several different models have been tried including the following: projects based on user fees financed by state guaranteed loans; projects financed by long term state guaranteed loans to the national road and rail administrations; co-financing agreements between local/regional public actors and the state; one Public Private Partnership (PPP) project and one project financed by land sales.

  • Property and Citizenship in Developing Societies
    1st Conference of the Procit Research Network Property and Citizenship in Developing Societies 28-31 May 2013, Copenhagen www.procit.dk www.eilenberg.dk Cover Image: Jakarta slums Photo by Michael Eilenberg University of Aarhus, Denmark Property and Citizenship in Developing Societies Conference 28-31 May 2013 Copenhagen PROGRAM AND ABSTRACTS ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Prof. Christian Lund, University of Copenhagen Prof. Michael Eilenberg, University of Aarhus Ms. Christine Svop, University of Aarhus PROPERTY AND CITIZENSHIP IN DEVELOPING SOCIETIES No single political institution controls space. Neither in recent democracies nor in one-party regimes, or in post-conflict societies, do governments actually wield the control they aspire to exercise. Therefore, people protect their claims by whatever means available in order to solidify access and secure exclusion of others. Actors address different institutions to have claims validated, and they will fashion their claims to land according to the nature of the institution. Conversely, however, political institutions will attempt to validate certain claims as rights and thus attempt to establish political authority – and sovereignty. The production of property rights in varied forms and the intertwined production of political subjects results in the inclusion and exclusion of people. We invite papers that analyse the assemblages of governing powers and investigate the institutional dynamics of recognition and exclusion and what institutions become the results of these processes? In particular we welcome papers that deal with connections between access to land and resources, and political identity and subjectivity. In this lies a profound question about state formation. The papers can engage with these questions in rural, peri-urban and urban settings alike.

  • 2. Local Transport Plans and Visions There Are Five Main Plans/Visions
    2. Local Plans and Visions transport There are five main plans/visions setting goals for transport planning and actions: The Transport and Environmental Plan 2004: The overriding objective is to assure a fully functional transportation system for the city causing substantially less environmental impact than today. The plan contains an action plan on 20 initiatives. Copenhagen’s Cycle Politic 2002-2012 is the first overall action plan for the cycle conditions in the city. More cyclists, safety, speed, comfort are some of the subjects in focus. Eco-metropolis 2007: Has 4 themes and 13 measurable goals. One of the themes is Copenhagen as the World’s Best City for Cyclists. Especially important for transport is the objective saying “50 % of all people going to work or education in Copenhagen will go by bike”. CopenhagenClimate Plan 2009 contains 15 initiatives for transport and the goal is to reduce CO2-emissions from transport by 10 % from 2005 to 2015. The lighthouse initiative is electric and hydrogen cars running on wind energy. Municipal Strategy 2009: The overall objective for the modal split in Copenhagen is that for all trips ”on wheels” at least 1/3 must be by public transport, at least 1/3 by cycle and less than 1/3 by car. The key efforts of the plans for transport are The City of Cyclists Improved public transport Traffic calming and parking restrictions Environmental efforts like low emission zones, possible congestion charging and environmentally friendly vehicles The City of Cyclists The City of Copenhagen has set itself the overall goal to be the world’s best city for cyclists, and since 2007 this has set the framework for measures in the cyclist area.
