Meeting a Growing Homelessness: How Could Three Swedish Affordable Housing Initiatives Be Analysed from Perspectives of Social and Economic Sustainability?
Nordic Journal of Surveying and Real Estate Research Volume 15, Number 1, 2020 Nordic Journal of Surveying and Real Estate Research 15:1 (2020) 7–37 submitted on 11 January 2020 revised on 31 March 2020 revised on 2 June 2020 accepted 2 July 2020 Meeting a Growing Homelessness: How Could Three Swedish Affordable Housing Initiatives Be Analysed from Perspectives of Social and Economic Sustainability? Anna Granath Hansson Department of Real Estate and Construction Management, KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden Contact: [email protected] Abstract. Homelessness has increased substantially in Sweden in the last decade with an emphasis on structural homelessness. Further, municipalities have the responsibility to house a certain number of newly arrived immigrants under the Settlement Act. Many municipalities have had difficulties in meeting the acute housing need, as well as its costs, and have started to look at new types of housing solutions. Initiatives of the civil society and private developers have been encouraged. This paper investigates three civil society and private housing developments and how they might contribute to socially and economically sustainable housing solutions for households in or on the verge to homelessness. In order to operationalize social and economic sustainability in relation to these local projects, a definition and an analytical set of questions have been developed based on the literature and project data. It is concluded that all three projects are socially and economically sustainable at the outset, but that certain traits of the project set-ups make them more uncertain in the longer run. The concept of sustainability proved fruitful in analysing the projects, but in many cases, non-physical factors will be person dependent and therefore difficult to generalise. -

The regional Structural Funds programme covers Stockholm County, which coincides with the geographical area of Stockholm in the European Union’s NUTS2 classification. Today, in 2013, the region has a population of just over 2.1 million, divided between 26 municipalities. The largest municipality, Stockholm City, in addition to being the national capital, is the largest municipality in the region (and in Sweden), with nearly 900 000 inhabitants. The smallest municipalities in the county, by comparison, have a population of around 10 000. The annual increase in population during the programming period 2007-2013 was just over 35 000. -

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. -

Doctoral Thesis in Planning and Decision Analysis with Specialisation in Environmental Strategic Analysis KTH Royal Institute of Technology Stockholm, Sweden 2021 © Tina Ringenson © Mattias Höjer, Anna Kramers, Anna Viggedal, Peter Arnfalk, Liridona Sopjani, Martin Sjöman Cover page photo: Tina Ringenson ISBN: 978-91-7873-737-6 TRITA-ABE-DLT-2044 Printed by: Universitetsservice US-AB, Sweden 2020 Abstract Human development is currently leading to destruction of the stability of the earth system upon which we depend for our survival. In other words, it is unsustainable. At the same time, urbanisation and digitalisation are progressing at a rapid pace. Digital technologies have a potential to decrease environmental impact from cities and urban lifestyles. Transport and mobility is an important part of urban life, and it has been suggested that digital technology can improve urban transport performance in both accessibility and sustainability. Mobility as a Service (MaaS) is a relatively new concept for provision of mobility services through a digital platform, sometimes together with digital accessibility services that lower the need to travel (Accessibility as a Service – AaaS). It has been suggested that MaaS could offer a real alternative to the privately owned car and lead to more sustainable mobility. -

We are differently organized, we have varying legislation and our coastlines differ as well as our response capacities. Only one thing is common for all – no country alone is capable of protecting all their valuable coastlines in case of a major oil spill. There is a well-established international cooperation both within HELCOM and the Copenhagen Agreement regarding offshore oil spill response. However, when it comes to shoreline oil spill response the Baltic Sea countries are lacking a platform for exchanging experiences and knowledge. This is the background for the EnSaCo project and the BOILEX exercise. The number of stakeholders involved in a shoreline oil spill response is far larger than the ones operating at sea which leads to a more complicated operation. This complexity is present also in shoreline exercises. BOILEX was no exception; we combined a theoretical table top with practical field exercises both on-shore and offshore. The exercise included 81 different organizations from 8 countries. HELCOM will include shoreline oil spills and oiled wildlife response in their overall response in the near future. -

S 2020 nr 01 ISSN 1104-7089 Omslag: Livsmedelsverket Preface The present report summarises the results from analysis of contaminants in blood and urine samples from participants in the dietary survey Riksmaten Adolescents 2016–17. These biomonitoring data provide unique information on total exposure to contaminants from all sources, including food, in Swedish adolescents. The results will be used further in risk assessments of contaminants in food by the Swedish Food Agency (Livsmedelsverket). Data from the project is also part of the national health-related environmental monitoring at the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (Naturvårdsverket). The aim of this monitoring is to estimate human exposure to hazardous substances, follow temporal trends in human exposure, and to link environmental exposure to effects on health. The results from this report may also be useful for experts working with risk assessment and risk management in other organizations at the national or regional level. The dietary survey Riksmaten Adolescents 2016–17 was carried out by the Swedish Food Agency. The analysis of contaminants and the writing of this report were mainly financed by the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency (agreement numbers 2215-17-007, 2215-17-017 and 2215-18-010) and by the Swedish Food Agency. -

National Analytical Study on Housing
National Analytical Study on Housing RAXEN Focal Point for Sweden Expo Foundation Cecilia Englund October 2003 1 DISCLAIMER: This study has been compiled by the National Focal Point of the Racism and Xenophobia Network operated by the European Monitoring Centre on Racism and Xenophobia (EUMC). The opinions expressed by the author/s do not necessarily reflect the opinion or position of the EUMC. No mention of any authority, organisation, company or individual shall imply any approval as to their standing and capability on the part of the EUMC. This study is provided by the National Focal Point as information guide only, and in particular does not constitute legal advice. 2 Executive summary Sweden has as many other European countries segregated areas. This is evident from where and how people live. Segregation has both an ethnic/racialised and a socioeconomic dimension. The most disadvantaged groups regarding housing segregation are immigrants, in particular people with African and West Asian (i.e. the Middle East) background. They are also generally the most disadvantaged groups in Swedish society as a whole, as their precarious situation in the labour market clearly shows. The main objective of this report is twofold: to look at the existing housing segregation in Sweden of today, and an effort to show the development in a historical perspective, as well as giving a future perspective. Segregation in housing is a complex matter. Many factors are correlated, a fact that is very noticeable in everyday life. The ethnic and socioeconomic housing segregation is most visible in the Metropolitan regions of Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö.
