  • Immigration, Spatial Segregation and Housing Segmentation of Immigrants in Metropolitan Stockholm, 1960± 95
    Urban Studies, Vol. 35, No. 10, 1869± 1888, 1998 Immigration, Spatial Segregation and Housing Segmentation of Immigrants in Metropolitan Stockholm, 1960± 95 Robert A. Murdie and Lars-Erik BorgegaÊrd [Paper received in ® nal form, August 1997] Summary Immigration policy and the origins of immigrants coming to Sweden have changed dramatically during the post-World War Two period. During the same period, changes in housing policy have affected the type of accommodation available to immigrants and refugees. It is within the context of these and other changes that we develop a model of the driving forces behind spatial segregation and housing segmentation in Sweden and document and evaluate shifts in the spatial segregation and housing segmentation of immigrants in the Stockholm region between 1960 and 1995. 1.

  • Homelessness Research and Policy Development: Examples from the Nordic Countries Lars Benjaminsen and Marcus Knutagård
    10th Anniversary Issue 45 Homelessness Research and Policy Development: Examples from the Nordic Countries Lars Benjaminsen and Marcus Knutagård SFI – The Danish National Centre for Social Research, Copenhagen, Denmark School of Social Work, Lund University, Lund, Sweden >> Abstract_ The interaction between research and policy development has played an important role in the transformation of homelessness policies and services over the last decade. Evidence from research on Housing First programmes and interventions in North America has informed the develop- ment of experimental Housing First programmes in many European countries. Moreover, studies on the profiles of homeless people and patterns of service use have supported an ongoing transition from mainly emergency and temporary responses towards strategic approaches with a focus on long-term and permanent solutions. This article will focus on the Nordic countries, where there has been close interaction between research and policy development in the formation of national strategies and programmes. In Denmark, Norway and Sweden, comprehensive national counts of homelessness have been carried out based on similar definitions and methodology and in Finland, monitoring of the extent and profiles of homelessness has been carried out for several years. In Denmark and Finland, national data have been used in the formation of national homelessness strategies that have been based on the Housing First principle, and data have been used to monitor developments in homelessness following implementation of these programmes. In Sweden, influential research on the staircase system has contributed to in-depth understanding of the unintended exclusion mechanisms that may sometimes be inherent in home- lessness policies. >> Keywords_ Homelessness research, policy development, strategic response, Housing First ISSN 2030-2762 / ISSN 2030-3106 online 46 European Journal of Homelessness _ Volume 10, No.

The main part of the University is situated in the small city of Lund which has about 112 000 inhabitants. A number of departments for research and education are, however, located in Malmö and Helsingborg. Lund University was founded in 1666 and has today a total staff of 6 000 employees and 47 000 students attending 280 degree programmes and 2 300 subject courses offered by 63 departments. Master Programme in Energy-efficient and Environmental Build- ing Design This international programme provides knowledge, skills and competencies within the area of energy-efficient and environmental building design in cold climates. The goal is to train highly skilled professionals, who will significantly contribute to and influence the design, building or renovation of energy-efficient buildings, taking into consideration the architec- ture and environment, the inhabitants’ behavior and needs, their health and comfort as well as the overall economy. The degree project is the final part of the master programme leading to a Master of Science (120 credits) in Energy-efficient and Environmental Buildings.

  • Renovate Or Rebuild?
    Renovate or rebuild? - a comparison of the climate impact from renovation compared to demolition and new construction for a multi-dwelling building built in the era of the “Million Programme” using life- cycle assessment Peter Eskilsson Uppsats för avläggande av masterexamen i naturvetenskap 30 hp Institutionen för biologi och miljövetenskap Göteborgs universitet June 2015 Summary In order to reach European and national Swedish targets on reduced climate impact and increased energy efficiency, interventions in the building stock will be a key issue. In Sweden, a large share of the multi-dwelling buildings was built 1961-1975, in the era of the so called “Million programme”. Today these buildings need to be renovated and there is a great potential of increasing their energy efficiency. However, is renovation the best option to reduce climate impact from these buildings, or is it better to demolish and rebuild new more energy efficient buildings? This study compared the climate impact of two scenarios for a building built in the era of the “Million programme”, renovation of the current building or demolition and rebuilding a new more energy efficient building. The method used was life-cycle assessment. The life- cycle assessment was limited to the climate impact from building material production and energy use for heating, hot water and property electricity and a 50 years life span was used. The scenarios were also compared for an unlimited time span to find the point of equal cumulative climate impact. In several previous studies, a more energy efficient new building had lower climate impact from a life-cycle perspective.
