    Exploring Local Governance in Urban Planning and Development The case of Lindholmen, Göteborg Doctoral dissertation Åsa von Sydow Stockholm 2004 TRITA-INFRA 04-026 ISRN KTH/INFRA/--04/026--SE ISSN 1651-0216 ISBN 91-7323-090-1 Royal Institute of Technology Department of Infrastructure Division of Urban Studies Unit of Urban Planning SE-100 44 Stockholm Telephone: +46 8 790 60 00 http://www.infra.kth.se/SP/ © Åsa von Sydow, 2004 Printed by Universitetsservice AB, Stockholm. ii Exploring Local Governance in Urban Planning and Development The case of Lindholmen, Göteborg Åsa von Sydow Royal Institute of Technology Department of Infrastructure Division of Urban Studies Abstract In the late 1970s the city of Göteborg was faced with massive job loss as well as an empty urban waterfront (Norra Älvstranden) due to the closing down of the shipyards. Since then Göteborg has been struggling to transform itself into a successful post-industrial city. The political leadership has worked diligently at promoting Göteborg as a knowledge and event city with the goal of creating growth in the region. After the shipyard crisis an area on the waterfront called Lindholmen was planned for housing, green areas and the preservation of an historically valuable building. In 1997, however, this all changed when the pri- vate company Ericsson started to look for a new office location and showed interest in the area. The company demanded the establishment of an IT-cluster consisting of 10 000 workplaces on the pier. This started a process which re- sulted in Lindholmen Science Park, a growth environment for knowledge in- tensive, high-tech companies.

Build local alliances. Ensure that all departments understand their role to disaster risk reduction and preparedness. How well are local organizations (including local government) equipped with capacities (knowledge, experience, official mandate) for disaster risk reduction and climate change adaptation? Level of Progress achieved: 5 Description of Progress & Achievements: Arvika municipality has experienced a number of severe floods in the past, of which the great flood of year 2000 remains one of the worst. The water level of Lake Glafsfjorden then rose by 3 meters above average and flooded parts of the city centre as well as surrounding areas. Due to the vulnerable location by the shores of Lake Glafsfjorden the municipality of Arvika has worked hard to improve its resilience regarding floods by creating an efficient organization for risk reduction. Different groups have been formed to cover all aspects of risk and resilience. There is a Collaboration Council (Samverkansråd) for risk and security issues, under which there are three different sub-committees: The Risk Group, The Management Group for Collaboration (Ledningsgrupp för samverkan) and the Crisis Advisory Group (Krishanteringsrådet).

(Iron and settlement at Rås- valslund. A Viking Period village in the Linde mining district, Örebro county). Fornvännen 101. Stockholm. Archaeologists and historians have long believed that the iron producing areas of Middle Sweden were mainly colonised during the Middle Ages. Recent pollen analyses, however, indicate scattered settlement here already from the last centuries BC onward. A Viking Period settlement at Rås- valslund on the shore of Lake Råsvalen in Örebro county was partly exca- vated in 2002 and 2003. The results show that there was quite a sizeable population here from the Viking Period onward. The inhabitants probably based their wealth on iron production and export to the densely populated Lake Mälaren area to the south. Finds from graves at the settlement indi- cate wealth as do the remains of a log cabin with a sturdily constructed oven. This house type is otherwise unknown from the central parts of Viking Period Sweden.

Christine Wamsler, Åse Johannessen, Peter Månsson MSB commissioned in 2018 Lund University to explore if, and how, a national (and linked local) strategies for disaster risk reduction and resilience could be developed and implemented in Sweden. It is the global target E of the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015-2030. Based on different methods, including document reviews and interviews with international, European, national and local stakeholders, the study provides key recommendations for fulfilling this goal and, ultimately, making Sweden more disaster resilient.

  • Höghastighetståg Oslo–Karlstad– Stockholm
    C Enskild motion Motion till riksdagen 2017/18:1495 av Daniel Bäckström (C) Höghastighetståg Oslo–Karlstad– Stockholm Förslag till riksdagsbeslut Riksdagen ställer sig bakom det som anförs i motionen om att ta ytterligare initiativ som utvecklar det svensk-norska samarbetet för planläggning och projektering av en driftssäker och snabb järnvägsförbindelse där resan tar högst tre timmar mellan Oslo och Stockholm, och detta tillkännager riksdagen för regeringen. Motivering Arbetet med att stärka tågens betydelse, kapacitet och konkurrenskraft pågår i såväl Norge som Sverige. Det genomförs projekt och utredningar för att analysera och beskriva förutsättningarna för investeringar i olika stråk och korridorer, på kort och lång sikt. Engagemanget och samarbetet mellan regionerna har stärkts de senaste åren och det har bildats bolag Oslo–Stockholm 2.5 AB i syfte att påskynda utbyggnaden av bättre tågtrafik mellan Oslo och Stockholm. Allt fler offentliga och privata aktörer lyfter nu betydelsen av en snabb järnvägsförbindelse och intresset ökar bland investerare och företag. Analyser som gjorts visar att sträckan har unika förutsättningar att vara en samhällsekonomisk investering. 16 företag från nio länder har haft ett första arbetsmöte i Örebro för att diskutera intäktsmodeller, finansieringsmodeller och modell för samverkan mellan företag, kommun och stat. Behovet av investeringar i infrastruktur är betydligt större än vad som kan göras med statlig anslagsfinansiering. Det är därför positivt att fler aktörer engagerar sig i frågan och ser betydelsen av att bygga infrastruktur som stärker den norsk-svenska arbetsmarknaden, ökar företagskontakterna, investeringarna och pendlingen. Sträckan Oslo–Karlstad–Stockholm är den mest intressanta när det gäller möjligheterna att få fler att resa med tåg istället för flyg, då ökningstakten är mycket högre på denna sträcka jämfört med till exempel Stockholm–Köpenhamn eller Oslo– Köpenhamn.

  • Norell, Värmland Och Karlstad – Struktur, Finanser Och Förutsättningar
    VÄRMLAND OCH KARLSTAD - STRUKTUR, FINANSER OCH FÖRUTSÄTTNINGAR FÖR POLITIK PO NORELL "En mycket positiv trend utifrånvår vision, livskvalitet Karlstad100 000, har varit att vi under de senaste åren lyckats höja den genomsnittliga nivån på befolkningsiikningen. Under 2010 ökade befolkningenmed över 1 000 personer vilket med undantagfor 1994 (forklarasdelvis av storflyktinginvandring och ändradefolkbokfiiringsregler) aldrig hänt tidigare. En annan gräns på 1 000 personer överträffas också nämligen antalet nyfodda, vilket inte skettsedan "baby-boomen" kring 1990. För Karlstads och regionensdel är det nödvändigt att vi klarar av konkurrensen om framtidens medborgare om vi skallfort­ sätta att utvecklasoch attrahera nya foretagoch god samhä!lsservice"(Karlstadskommuns årsredovisning for2010:10). Detta är en bild av den verklighet som en värmländsk kommun målar upp. Den är inre typisk för värmländska eller för svenska kommuner. Tvärtom brottas de flestamed de problem som följer av en åldrande och minskande befolkning. Det är knappast heller ovanligt att det i dessa skillnader - mellan den expansiva och andra - finns ettfrö till motsättning. I ett nationellt eller ett regionalt prioriteringssam­ manhang finns en spänning mellan att stödja den strukturellt svagare och att göra den starke starkare. Det senare utifrån tanken att ett riktigt blomstrande regionalt centrum också skapar bättre förutsättningar för ett omland. Samtidigt är de allra flesta, sannolikt, överens om att det finns starka ömsesidiga beroendeförhållanden mellan kommuner i en region: alla stärks av att det går bra också för andra. Region Värmland (2009) har antagit ett regionalt urvecklingsprogram med titeln "Värm­ landväxer och känner inga gränser, 2009-2013". Detta har, som framgår av titeln, ett offensivtanslag. Fokus ligger mera på möjligheter än på begränsningar.
