The sponsors of the research selected the research themes. There is much to learn from the Swedish experience, and particularly that of Stockholm, in the area of municipal and regional management, urban planning, transportation management, planning of green spaces and housing. Like any case study of this kind, the experience must be examined in light of its specific social and historical context. It is often difficult to borrow a model and apply it in a different context. Nevertheless, there are similarities between Swedish society and the urban development of Stockholm and those of Quebec society and the Montreal region. Consequently, the findings of this case study may be useful in the current debate in Quebec on municipal and regional reform, and on the methods and tools used in urban planning in general. This report comprises five chapters. The first sketches certain characteristics of Swedish society and national and local institutions, and summarizes the municipal merger process that took place between 1952 and 1974. The second chapter examines the basics of urban planning in Sweden and discusses current urban planning tools. We will look at the metropolitan management of Greater Stockholm in the third chapter: the political and administrative structure of the County Council, the regional development plan, planning of transportation networks, planning of the green structure and international promotion. The fourth chapter deals with the management of urban planning in the city of Stockholm: the political and administrative structure of the city, the city plan, green spaces, transportation, planning of strategic areas and the science park. The fifth and last chapter addresses housing issues, i.e. the financial assistance system, issues in Greater Stockholm and assistance for the elderly and disabled. 1 The complete 165-page version, with plans and figures, is available in French under the title Étude de cas de l’agglomération et de la municipalité de Stockholm. It may be obtained from the author: [email protected] Case Study of the City of Stockholm and the Greater Stockholm Area – Summary 5 Methodology Documentation for the study was obtained mainly from national, regional and municipal institutions.2 Two collections of articles on urban planning, published by the Royal Swedish Institute of Technology in 1991 and 1997, were also excellent sources of information and analyses. The fact sheets published by the Swedish Institute (Svenska Institutet) were a valuable source of background information. A series of meetings and interviews with some twenty representatives of institutions and people in charge of various sectors enriched and rounded out the information gleaned from documents. I wish to personally thank each of the people I spoke with for their assistance. In particular, I wish to acknowledge the help of Suzanne Dufresne, of the Stockholm County Council ORPUT, Torsten Malmberg, of the City of Stockholm, and Thomas Lundén, of the Swedish Institute, for their help in arranging these meetings. 2 The National Board of Health and Welfare (Socialstyrelsen), the Office of Regional Planning and Urban Transportation (ORPUT) of the Stockholm County Council (Stockholms län landsting Regionplane -och Trafikkontoret), the Urban Planning Department of the City of Stockholm (Stockholms Stad Stadsbyggnadskontoret). Case Study of the City of Stockholm and the Greater Stockholm Area – Summary 6 1. Swedish society and institutions Sweden has an area of 450,000 km²; half its land surface is covered in forest. It has a population of 8.9 million, of whom 85% live in the southern half of the country, and 83% in urban areas. Sweden has three major urban centres: Stockholm (1.8 million), Göteborg (750,000) and Malmö (500,000). 4.1 An overview of Swedish society and the foundations of social democracy In the early 20th century, Sweden was still a largely agrarian country, and one of the poorest in Europe. Economic growth was particularly strong, however, in the years following the Second World War, up to the mid-1970s. During this period of growth, what particularly distinguished Sweden was the introduction by Social Democratic governments of a social welfare system ensuring equal opportunity for all. Sweden became one of the richest countries in the world, with a model studied and envied by many. The political program implemented by the Social Democrats was supported by a large majority of Swedes for many years. The party came to power in 1932 and remained there without interruption until 1976, and was then re-elected from 1982 to 1991; since 1998, the Social Democratic party has formed a minority government. When they took power, the goal of the Social Democrats was to work toward an equitable distribution of the country’s resources. Rather than nationalizing means of production, the government instead introduced measures to ensure fair distribution of private-sector profits and equality for all, overriding individual freedoms. Social differences shrank as disparities in income were reduced. A range of social welfare measures guaranteed decent living conditions for all, in housing, health and education. Many people have been tempted to call the Swedish experiment “socialism with a prosperous face.” Yet the Swedish state did not nationalize any economic sectors. To the contrary, the Swedish economy is characterized by a very high concentration of capital among a handful of companies, of which some of the best known are Volvo, Electrolux, Ericsson, Saab-Scania, Hasselblad and IKEA. Through its investments in many companies, including the largest ones, the Wallenberg family is said to control one-third of Swedish GNP. This concentration is even considered desirable by the State. It feels that a small country like Sweden depends on its exports and could not otherwise remain competitive and survive by competing against large industrial powers. Accusations of corporatism are often levelled at the system along with allegations that it is dominated by industrial magnates, political leaders, senior public servants and union bosses. But the system is accepted nonetheless. Centralism and uniformity are key characteristics of Swedish society, balanced by a curious mixture of egalitarian and elitist sentiments. In the words of Olof Petersson (1991): “Reluctance that someone should not Case Study of the City of Stockholm and the Greater Stockholm Area – Summary 9 be better than another is combined with a respect for authority.”3 Political and social institutions are largely founded on consensus, developed after lengthy consultations and studies. Working relations in the private and public sectors are also marked by this consensus approach to decision making. These characteristics must be kept in mind when attempting to understand how Swedish society operates. Åke Daun (1999) stresses the key role of rationality in the Swedish mentality. He also emphasizes that no other Western society has given so much power to government and public planners.

This paper presents an empirical study of a mental health coordination network in one area in Stockholm. The aim was to describe the development and nature of coordination within a mental health and social care consortium and to assess the impact on care processes and client outcomes. Method: Data was gathered through interviews with ‘joint coordinators’ (n=6) from three rehabilitation units. The interviews focused on coordination activities aimed at supporting the clients’ needs and investigated how the joint coordinators acted according to the consor- tium’s holistic approach.

At the moment of writing, the strategy, targeted towards both the majority and the minority populations, is on the verge of becoming implemented within all the municipal administrations and the whole municipal system of governance, so it is still to tell how much it will influence and change the current situation in the municipality. Population and demographics Botkyrka is a municipality with many faces. We are the most diverse municipality in Sweden. Between 2010 and 2012 the proportion of inhabitants with a foreign background increased to 55 % overall, and to 65 % among all children and youngsters (aged 0–18 years) in the municipality.2 55 % have origin in some other country (one self or two parents born abroad) and Botkyrka is the third youngest population among all Swedish municipalities.3 Botkyrka has always been a traditionally working-class lower middle-class municipality, but the inflow of inhabitants from different parts of the world during half a decade, makes this fact a little more complex.

  • Regional District Heating in Stockholm
    Dick Magnusson, PhD Student Department of Thematic Studies: Technology and Social Change Linköping University, Sweden [email protected] +46(0)13-282503 Planning for a sustainable city region? - Regional district heating in Stockholm Abstract District heating is an old and established energy system in Sweden, accounting for 9 % of the national energy balance. The systems have traditionally been built, planned and managed by the municipalities and over the years the district heating systems in Stockholm have grown into each other and later been interconnected. This have led to that there today are three large systems with eight energy companies and the system can be considered a regional system. The strategy to create a regional system has existed for a long time from regional planning authorities. However, since the municipalities have planning monopoly the regional planning is weak. The overall aim for this study is to analyse the planning and development of an important regional energy system, the district heating system in Stockholm, to understand how the municipal and regional planning have related to each other. The study is conducted through studying municipal and regional plans in Stockholm’s county between 1978 and 2010. The results show that district heating has been considered important all along and that a regional, or rather inter-municipal, perspective has existed throughout the period, although with large differences between different municipalities. Regional strategies for an interconnected system and combined heat and power plants have been realised gradually and district heating have throughout the period been considered important for different environmental reasons. 1 Introduction In Sweden, district heating (DH) is an important part of the energy system, accounting for approximately 55 TWh of the annual energy supply of 612 TWh, and a 55% share of the total heating market.1 In some cities, the district heating systems are old, well-established, and have developed into regional energy systems, with Stockholm being the foremost example.

    Stockholm Hotel Report 2020 Cover photo: Hotel Frantz, Mathias Nordgren Photo on this page: Invest Stockholm, Jeppe Wikström Foreword This report was finalised before the global spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19). The consequences of the spread, combined with the restric- tions and recommendations from authorities and governments aiming to reduce the spread of infection, have had dramatic consequences for both travellers and hotels. Demand for hotel rooms in Stockholm and throug- hout Sweden has fallen sharply during March. Today, there is great uncertainty regarding the effects the coronavirus will have on global travel. Historically, the demand of hotel rooms has quickly recovered after various types of crises. Overall, however, there is a significant risk that the growth up to 2024 will not be as good as forecasted in this report Omslagsfoto: XXXXXXX Photo: Invest Stockholm, Henrik Trygg Summary • There is a strong demand for hotel rooms in Stockholm County and the growth rate in occupied rooms has increased over the last 10 years. • Despite a strong expansion of the hotel room capacity during 2017, the occupancy rate in the county has stabilized at record levels. • The potential growth in occupied rooms is increasing at a high rate, which means that the occupancy rate, average price and RevPAR in Stockholm City are forecasted to have a strong development until 2024. • Annordia's assessment is that there is a potential demand that could carry an additional 2,000 rooms, apart from the already planned rooms, by 2024 with an occupancy rate in Stockholm city of approx- imately 71 percent. • Leisure guests have accounted for 70 percent of the growth in occupied rooms over the past decade.

  • Localisations of Logistics Centres in Greater Stockholm
    Department of Real Estate and Construction Management Thesis no. 182 Real Estate Economics and Financial Services Master of Science, 30 credits Real Estate Economics MSs Localisations of Logistics Centres in Greater Stockholm Author: Supervisor: Gunnar Larsson Stockholm 2012 Hans Lind Master of Science thesis Title: Localisations of Logistics Centres in Greater Stockholm Author: Gunnar Larsson Department Department of Real Estate and Construction Management Master Thesis number 182 Supervisor Hans Lind Keywords Logistics, Stockholm, location, localisation factors, warehouse, terminal, logistics centres, logistics parks, future, scenario. Abstract This study examines how and on what basis logistics centres are located in Greater Stockholm. Its purpose is to formulate a possible future scenario regarding localisations of logistics centres in Greater Stockholm in 10-15 years. Goods transports, distribution, property characteristics, market trends, investment decisions, localisation factors, potential challenges, public plans, transport infrastructure and logistics locations have been investigated in order to form a conclusion. There is a wide range of previous research on most fields mentioned above. Yet there is a gap regarding a picture of them from a market perspective applied to Stockholm’s future. The research method is qualitative, involving 31 interviews (34 respondents) representing logistics companies, goods holders, property developers, investors, consultants and municipalities; as they are making the decisions of tomorrow, i.e. “choose” the locations. The qualitative approach has been complemented with descriptions of infrastructure, regional plans and reports in order to consolidate and complement facts and opinions from the interviews. Together they provide the basis for a final analysis and discussion followed by a possible future scenario of Greater Stockholm’s major logistics locations.
