  • Bridging the Gap-The Use of Methods from Research Results For
    Bridging the gap - the use of methods from research results for implementation of Sustainable Urban Transport Plans – with the example from Lund, Sweden Christer Ljungberg, Dr Eng, CEO, Trivector Traffic, Lund, Sweden 1. The concept of sustainable transport systems in Sweden The discussion of climate change and environmental problems has accelerated during 2006. In Europe the discussion about sustainability has been ongoing since beginning of the nineties. Already in 1996 a cooperation of several Swedish transport authorities and organisations (National Road Administration, The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions, National Board of Housing, Building and Planning, Rail Infrastructure Authority, The Car Industry Cooperation together with the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency), published a series of reports regarding “Environmental Adapted Transport Systems”, in Swedish called MaTs (MiljöAnpassade TransportSystem). The MaTs concept is built upon The Four Environmental System Conditions of The Natural Step organisation: 1) Substances from the Earth’s crust must not systematically increase in the ecosphere 2) Substances produced by society must not systematically increase in the ecosphere 3) The physical basis for productivity and diversity of nature must not be systematically diminished 4) Fair and efficient use of resources with respect to meeting human needs. In the concept the measures for sustainability are divided into 5 areas: 1) Measures influencing the travel need 2) Measures influencing modal split and intermodality 3) Measure influencing operation of the different transport modes 1 4) Technical measures on vehicles and fuels 5) Measures influencing building, operation and maintenance of infrastructure This concept, MaTs, has been used and discussed in several governmental bills, regarding infrastructure, transport, environment and climate.

  • National Phd Course: Economic Geography (7.5 ECTS Credits), Lund, Göteborg and Uppsala, Sweden, September–November 2013
    National PhD Course: Economic Geography (7.5 ECTS Credits), Lund, Göteborg and Uppsala, Sweden, September–November 2013 Organizers Jerker Moodysson & Lars Coenen, Lund University Patrik Ström & Anja Franck, Göteborg University Jenny Sjöholm & Johan Jansson, Uppsala University (co-ordinators) Course description The course is jointly arranged by economic geographers at the universities of Lund, Göteborg and Uppsala. It builds on a format developed during previous courses on the same theme, held every second year since 1997. The course offers an introduction to contemporary research perspectives and approaches in economic geography. While it primarily targets PhD students working on theses within economic geography, the course is designed to be accessible also to PhD students in human geography generally, as well as in related economic and social science disciplines. PhD students affiliated with Swedish geography departments taking part in the national collaboration on PhD courses in human geography are given priority, but also students from other universities in Sweden and beyond will be accepted if there are slots available. We aim at getting 15-25 students in the course. The course will be taught in English. The course introduces research questions, concepts and theories in contemporary economic geography as well as examples of ongoing empirical research. The core questions of economic geography– related to the role of place and space in processes of economic development – have in recent years attracted interest not just from geographers

We are now gathering around a joint strategic objective to achieve an open Skåne by 2030. An open Skåne that welcomes plural- ism, more people and new ideas. A Skåne that is characterised by high tolerance and widespread participation in common social issues. The open Skåne encompasses an open landscape as well as urbanisation. The open Skåne breaks national boundaries and is a natural part of the Öresund Region. The open Skåne offers everyone the chance of a good life. Together we have also selected five prioritised areas that we need to work with in order to achieve a completely open Skåne: Skåne shall offer optimism and quality of life, be a strong, sus- tainable growth engine, benefit from its polycentric urban structure, develop the welfare services of tomorrow and be globally attractive.

  • A Study of 11 Large Municipalities in Sweden
    Sustainable mobility in the Sustainable City – a study of 11 large municipalities in Sweden Final Report. Project 15-549 Author: Paul Fenton Division of Environmental Technology & Management, Linköping University, 58183 Linköping, Sweden. Tel: +46 13 285620, Fax: +46 13 281101, Email: [email protected] Summary The report presents findings from a qualitative study of strategy and policy processes for sustainable mobility and sustainable transport in eleven large municipalities in Sweden. The findings are presented thematically and with reference to interviews in each of the municipalities. The main conclusions of the report are that organisational design and the extent to which external stakeholders are involved in municipal processes are important influences on outcomes; political will and the presence of committed individuals is vitally important; and that municipalities are hamstrung by ineffective national planning processes. Acknowledgements The author wishes to thank the funders of both phases of the project for their interest and support – for Phase I, Riksbyggens Jubileumsfond Den Goda Staden; the Swedish national innovation agency Vinnova through its programme “Verifiering för samverkan”; Göteborg Energis Stiftelse för forskning och utveckling; and for Phase II, J.
