  • Lease Versus Buy Decision of Real Estate for Foreign Diplomatic Missions in Stockhom, Sweden
    KTH Architecture and The Built Environment Department of Real Estate and Construction Management Master Of Science In Real Estate Management Thesis no. 396 LEASE VERSUS BUY DECISION OF REAL ESTATE FOR FOREIGN DIPLOMATIC MISSIONS IN STOCKHOM, SWEDEN Author: Supervisor: Ruby Bleppony Prof. Hans Lind Stockholm 2015 ABSTRACT Purpose - The purpose of this study is to present a general view on the real estate situation for diplomatic missions in Stockholm, Sweden, and thus identifying factors affecting the lease versus buy decision of their office space and residential facilities, examining the significance of these factors on their decisions. Design/methodology/approach - This paper takes an empirical approach, with questionnaire presented to the 105 embassies in Stockholm. The results were presented coupled with the experience of working in an embassy, bearing on the analysis of this paper. Findings - The results shows that other factors outweigh the financial factor, which has been the bedrock in the decision process to lease or buy real estate for diplomatic mission. The non- financial factor, mainly functionality in the aspects of security, size of the real estate facility and location were more significant in the decision process for DMs. The demand and supply dynamics in the local markets has been demonstrated as also being significant in the LVB decision for DMs, but not as strong as the functionality factor. On the other hand, factors such as bi-lateral relations / institutional factor and cultural factors that affect local market practices were rather insignificant in the decision process. Research limitations/implications - Even though all the 105 diplomatic missions were presented with the questionnaire, the outcome of the empirical survey is however limited to a few embassies and due to the small number of embassies involved in this study, there could be limitations on the statistical generalizability of results due to the small number of embassies involved in the study.

  • 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.

    Stockholm Resilience Centre Research for Biosphere Stewardship and Innovation Master’s Thesis, 60 ECTS Social-ecological Resilience for Sustainable Development Master’s programme 2014/16, 120 ECTS Mapping neighbourhood typologies for social-ecological urbanism – A spatial experiential analysis of Stockholm Karl Samuelsson Mapping neighbourhood typologies for social-ecological urbanism – A spatial experiential analysis of Stockholm Karl Samuelsson Master’s thesis - Social-ecological resilience for sustainable development Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University Supervisor: Stephan Barthel Stockholm Resilience Centre Stockholm University Co-supervisors: Ann Legeby School of Architecture and the Built Environment Royal Institute of Technology Lars Marcus Department of Architecture Chalmers University of Technology Abstract. Studies on urban environments often display contradictory evidence regarding social and ecological outcomes, asserting conflicting development trajectories. In this thesis, affordance theory is applied with the aim of developing a method for relating high-precision mapping of urban structural characteristics to inhabitants’ experiences. I analyse neighbourhood scale trade-offs and synergies between residential populations (RP), working populations (WP) and the ecosystem service temperature regulation (TR) in Stockholm municipality. Neighbourhood typology is introduced as an empirical classification of neighbourhoods based on these structural characteristics. I further analyse experiential outcome in different typologies by applying inhabitant experience data (N = 1828) from an online public participatory geographic information system survey. Analyses reveal strong trade-off patterns between populations and TR capacity. No typologies feature a large RP, a large WP and high TR capacity. Positive experiences are more likely in neighbourhoods with high TR capacity and negative experiences are more likely in neighbourhoods with a large WP, while most neighbourhoods are equally well experienced despite differences in services.

MOTIVATION I’m born and raised in Stockholm, but I have only lived one third of my life there. The other two thirds I have lived throughout Europe, in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and now in the Netherlands. Despite my absence from Stockholm, my love for this beautiful city has never wavered. Every time I go back to visit the city, I immediately feel that I’m back home. No other city throughout the world, where I have lived or have visited, has triggered such ‘home’ feeling in me. After two years at the Faculty of Architecture in Delft and two years working at an architecture office in Berlin, I knew that Urbanism was my passion. Around that time I started to follow the urban development in Stockholm. Through official channels (open sources through governmental websites), news and social media, I had the possibility to follow and read about the development of the city and region. By now I have several ideas, based on what I have read and my own experties as an urban planner, on how and in which direction the city and region should grow in the future.
