Environmental Impact Assessment for Flemingsbergsdalen Environmental Impact Assessment for Flemingsbergsdalen 2020-01-16 Foreword The municipality of Huddinge has formulated an ambitious vision for developing the area of Fleminngsbergsdalen. With the aim of developing a new integrated urban centre with new businesses, commerce, housing and social services, the project entails significant construction work and an intensification of urban activities. This, in turn, can potentially lead to substantial environmental impacts. The present report is an assessment of the potential environmental impacts of the Flemingsbergsdalen development. The assessment and report were produced by students of the masters’ level course Case Studies in Environmental Impact Assessment at Stockholm University. The Environmental Impact Statement presented here is the result of rigorous research by the students during a period of six weeks between December 2019 and January 2020. The results and views presented in this report are those of the students alone, and do not represent the position of Stockholm University. We would like to acknowledge all who have offered help and input during this process.

    Commuting in Stockholm, Summary Gothenburg and Malmö Report 2011:3 – a current state analysis Commuting in Stockholm, Summary Gothenburg and Malmö Report 2011:3 – a current state analysis Transport Analysis Address: Torsgatan 30 SE-113 21 Stockholm Phone: 010 414 42 00 Fax: 010 414 42 10 E-mail: [email protected] Webaddress: www.trafa.se Publisher: Brita Saxton Publication date: 2011-05-31 Summary Travel and shipping help form the economic foundation of society, the thread that weaves together its various parts through both physical and social networks. The physical infrastructure consists of links and nodes in a system of networks handling flows of people, goods, and information – what we refer to in everyday speech as roads, railroads, bus stations, terminals, etc. The social infrastructure consists, for example, of formal and informal regulations and laws, shared values, and a common knowledge base; this infrastructure also determines how society is tied together. This report presents a current state analysis of how the various parts of the transportation system appear and are used by passengers within Sweden’s three major metropolitan areas, and to and from their surrounding areas, with a particular emphasis on commuting to and from work. The report also includes an inventory of factors that households take into consideration in terms of mobility in the labour and housing markets. This current state analysis identifies several deficiencies and estimates some of their associated costs. Finally, some proposed measures for improving the commuting options in our metropolitan areas are discussed. 1.1 Offering, demand, and transportation The transportation system and its configuration affect how we use the system, the modes of transport we use, and how often and how far we travel.

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.

  • THE WALKABLE CITY Stockholm City Plan
    SBK 2011:1 THE WALKABLE CITY Stockholm City Plan • March 2010 THE WALKABLE CITY Stockholm City Plan Adopted by Stockholm City Council on 15 March 2010 THE CITY PLANNING ADMINISTRATION Fleminggatan 4 Box 8314, 104 20 Stockholm Phone +46 (0)8-508 26 000 www.stockholm.se Foreword Stockholm has fantastic qualities that take it far beyond its status as capital of Sweden. Stockholm combines great expanses of water and greenery with a his- toric city centre and contemporary architecture. People from around the globe converge on the city in search of the metropolitan buzz, excitement and oppor- tunities. Stockholm currently faces the challenge of sensible growth, where more inhabitants than ever in its history can live and enjoy a city with attrac- tive new housing, a dynamic business climate, a knowledge-driven education system, quality care, good sporting facilities, a rich range of experiences and an outstanding environment. This is why Stockholm City Council has adopted Vision 2030: a world-class Stockholm. With its decision on a new City Plan, the City of Stockholm has launched its vision of a walkable city, as a response to how we can meet these challenges and create a structure within which the city can grow. The core idea is for the city of the future to develop in pace with the people of Stockholm themselves, with a focus on the qualities of this human, safe and environmentally friendly city. The strategies for this are to continue strengthening central Stockholm, to invest in attractive strategic nodes, to connect the different parts of the city and to promote an attractive, vibrant and safe urban environment across the whole of Stockholm.

This thesis is about Swedish residential areas built during the period 1965 to 1974 as the result of a political programme called the Million homes programme. The areas hold cultural historic values being the physical manifestation of an era of the Swedish history that has strongly shaped our present society, but is now threatened by lack of social sustainability. The Million homes areas constitute a large part of the residential areas in Sweden today. By the end of the programme there were an abundance of housing options in Sweden, and empty apartments were in a high degree located in the modernistic suburbs, as people with good economy chose to move elsewhere. To fill the apartment, the municipalities used them for social contracts. The areas became segregated, and still are today despite several attempts to improve their popularity. This thesis analyses various measures and strategies for improving social sustainability in the Million homes areas, and their effects on the cultural heritage. The ambition with the study is to give a broad, cross-functional view of the topic, studying various approaches, e.g.
