Many attempts have been made to define the most sustainable way to organise cities in order to cope with the increased population, while simultaneously being climate friendly, socially acceptable and economically viable. This master thesis focuses on the comparison of the sustainability performance of two particular theoretically planned urban forms, located in the suburban area of Stockholm – a “compact city”-like neighborhood and a “garden-city”-like neighbourhood. It was decided that the focus would be on the carbon footprint of the representative residences of each urban form, with the help of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA); and that overall sustainability criteria for neighbourhoods would afterwards be assessed, having a certification system for sustainable neighbourhoods (CityLab for districts, in particular) as a framework for a – mostly- theoretical assessment. After the exploring of the differences in the sustainability performance (environmental and social) of the two assessed urban forms, a discussion is made concerning the relationship between urban form and sustainability and conditions under which the most sustainable urban form could be achieved. The results of the analysis highlight that the concept “one size fits all” cannot conform to urban planning decisions, since cities should be able to adjust to the needs of each generation. 2 Table of Contents Chapter 1 - Introduction --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7 Chapter 2 - Research question and objectives ------------------------------------------------- 10 Chapter 3 - Background ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 12 3.1.

  • From Boring Boxes to Beautiful Cost-Effective Houses a Study About Housing Development and Exterior Architectural Preferences
    DEGREE PROJECT IN CIVIL ENGINEERING AND URBAN MANAGEMENT, REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT MASTER OF SCIENCE IN ENGINEERING, SECOND LEVEL, 30 CREDITS STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN 2017 From Boring Boxes to Beautiful Cost-Effective Houses A study about housing development and exterior architectural preferences Rebecca Granström and Sofia Wahlström KTH ROYAL INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT OF REAL ESTATE AND CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT MASTER OF SCIENCE THESIS Title From Boring Boxes to Beautiful Cost-Effective Houses - A study about exterior architectural preferences and housing development Authors Rebecca Granström and Sofia Wahlström Department Real Estate and Construction Management Master Thesis Number TRITA-FOB-ByF-MASTER-2017:35 Archive Number 493 Supervisor Tina Karrbom Gustavsson Keywords exterior architecture, housing development, multifamily houses, aesthetics, environmental psychology, residential area ABSTRACT The last time Sweden did face a major housing shortage was during the 1960’s. As a solution to the housing shortage, The Million Homes Programme was initiated. The programme did manage to get rid of the housing shortage, but has received a lot of criticism concerning its architecture and environment since its completion. At the time for this study, Sweden is experiencing yet another housing crisis. In order to manage the housing shortage in a more successful way this time, it is important to not down- prioritise the exterior architecture. The exterior architecture plays an important role in creating both an aesthetical appealing and a social sustainable built environment. But the scarcity of housing makes it easy to sell the produced apartments, especially in the larger cities, which reduces the incentives for the developers to prioritise the aesthetics.

  • 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.

  • Government Communication 2011/12:56 a Coordinated Long-Term Strategy for Roma Skr
    Government communication 2011/12:56 A coordinated long-term strategy for Roma Skr. inclusion 2012–2032 2011/12:56 The Government hereby submits this communication to the Riksdag. Stockholm, 16 February 2012 Fredrik Reinfeldt Erik Ullenhag (Ministry of Employment) Key contents of the communication This communication presents a coordinated and long-term strategy for Roma inclusion for the period 2012–2032. The strategy includes investment in development work from 2012–2015, particularly in the areas of education and employment, for which the Government has earmarked funding (Govt. Bill. 2011/12:1, Report 2011/12:KU1, Riksdag Communication 2011/12:62). The twenty-year strategy forms part of the minority policy strategy (prop. 2008/09:158) and is to be regarded as a strengthening of this minority policy (Govt. Bill 1998/99:143). The target group is above all those Roma who are living in social and economic exclusion and are subjected to discrimination. The whole implementation of the strategy should be characterised by Roma participation and Roma influence, focusing on enhancing and continuously monitoring Roma access to human rights at the local, regional and national level. The overall goal of the twenty-year strategy is for a Roma who turns 20 years old in 2032 to have the same opportunities in life as a non-Roma. The rights of Roma who are then twenty should be safeguarded within regular structures and areas of activity to the same extent as are the rights for twenty-year-olds in the rest of the population. This communication broadly follows proposals from the Delegation for Roma Issues in its report ‘Roma rights — a strategy for Roma in Sweden’ (SOU 2010:55), and is therefore also based on various rights laid down in international agreements on human rights, i.e.

ALI POURMOUSAVI2, (Member, IEEE), HENRIK MADSEN1, (Senior Member, IEEE), AND NIELS KJØLSTAD POULSEN1, (Senior Member, IEEE) 1Institut for Matematik og Computer Science, Danmarks Tekniske Universitet, 2800 Kongens Lyngby, Denmark 2Global Change Institute, The University of Queensland, Brisbane, QLD 4072, Australia Corresponding author: Giulia De Zotti ([email protected]) This work was supported in part by CITIES project under Grant DSF-1305-0027B and in part by the European Union's Horizon 2020 Smart-Net project under Grant 691405. ABSTRACT Power systems are experiencing a large amount of renewable generation with highly stochastic and partly unpredictable characteristics. This change in energy production implies significant consequences related to the provision of ancillary services (AS). Current markets dedicated to the provision of AS are not able to benefit from the flexible energy resources. They also cannot cope with the new level of stochasticity, non-linearity, and dynamics of generation and flexibility. To overcome such issues and exploit the potential of flexibility resources, a new strategy is required. In this paper, by capitalizing on flexibility resources' potential, AS 4.0 approach is proposed, which offers a comprehensive solution for the AS provision in the smart grid era. INDEX TERMS Ancillary services 4.0, flexible retail electricity price, smart grid, power system operation, peer-to-peer, control-based approach.

Division of Urban and Regional Studies. School of Architecture and the Built Environment. KTH Royal Institute of Technology Abstract As the City of Stockholm continues to grow, there is a looming fear that there will not be enough housing for a growing population. Municipalities within Stockholm County are building up their housing stock to contribute solutions to the infamous housing crisis that is on the rise. With this increase of built development, there is also a faint shadow of the Million Homes Project problems that daunts new projects. The last time the city of Stockholm had built up so much new development, some of the Million Homes Project neighborhoods descended into segregated and vulnerable areas. This project looks at how Riksbyggen, a housing developer, can build housing developments that align with social sustainability practices for integrated neighborhoods, in order to avoid the process of segregation. The research focuses on the study area of Ursvik, a residential neighborhood that has plans to grow by 15,000 new residents in the next 10-15 years.

Box 117, Sölvegatan 16, S-221 00 Lund, SWEDEN http://www.circle.lu.se/publications WP 2012/10 How Local are Spatial Density Externalities? - evidence from square grid data Martin Andersson, Johan Klaesson, Johan P Larsson ABSTRACT We analyze the geographic scale at which density externalities operate and their attenuation with distance. Using square grid data at a fine spatial resolution, we find that a doubling of neighborhood density, measured as the density of 1 km2 squares, yields an increase in the overall wage-level of a square in the order of 3 percent. The density of the wider region to which the neighborhood belongs shows a significantly smaller effect. Highly educated workers gain more from proximity to others, and when we decrease the sizes of the squares the effect is still stronger for such workers. Density effects operate simultaneously at different spatial levels, and we argue that the neighborhood effects are more prone to capture localized non-market effects, such as knowledge spillovers driven by face-to-face interaction.
