Closer Than Close-By CLOSER THAN CLOSE-BY www.framtidenskommun.se CLOSER THAN CLOSE-BY The ”close” concept has become a fashionable word for residential areas wishing to describe how conveniently they are situated. But in actual fact, in many of these places, “close” means quite some way away. Staffanstorp is located exactly where it should be. Everyone in the Öresund region can get here very quickly. Copenhagen is 30 minutes away. Malmö is 15 minutes away… Lund is a 15 minute bike ride – or ten minutes on the bus. We’re not saying we are located “close-by” We’re saying we are a lot closer than that.

Roads to Staffanstorp are of high European standard with main traffic routes from Malmö and Copenhagen and country roads from Lund, Sturup and Trelleborg. Well-lit bicycle tracks run from Lund to Staffans- torp and Hjärup, from Malmö to Hjärup, be- tween Staffanstorp and Hjärup and from Lomma and Hjärup.

  • Trafikled Eller Gata? Urbanitet I Halvperifera Delar Av Staden
    Trafikled eller gata? Urbanitet i halvperifera delar av staden Jonas Carlsson ⏐ Examensarbete 2005 vid BTH Förord Under det senaste året har jag fördjupat mig i en bred frågeställning som kretsat kring urbanitet och stadens struktur i ett samtida och historiskt perspektiv. Mitt intresse för transportstrukturen har successivt vuxit i takt med insikten om dess betydelse för staden som livsmiljö. Ofta talar man sig varm för den urbana staden och dess potential som en hållbar stadsform samtidigt som en trafikplanering bedrivs som inte leder närmare denna utan istället längre ifrån. I strävan mot en bättre förståelse för ytterstaden som resultat av en modernistisk planering har jag med stort intresse försökt kartlägga attityden till staden och vilka principer som varit tongivande sedan modernismen etablerades i Sverige. I detta arbete har min handledare Gösta Blücher varit till stor hjälp med gedigen kunskap och inblick. Jag vill tacka alla hjälpsamma personer på kommunerna som jag har kontaktat och speciellt tack till Gävle kommun och Elin Andersson som försett mig med material, synpunkter och uppmuntran. Ett stort tack till SWECO FFNS Arkitekter i Falun där jag har gjort merparten av examensarbetet. Jag tackar även för all hjälp från mina kurskamrater som nu förvandlas från en skolklass till ett etablerat kontaktnät. Slutligen ett stort tack till Anneli som gett mig stöd och vägledning och som förmodligen är den som gläds mest över arbetets slut. Jonas Carlsson Falun, augusti 2005 Sammanfattning Dagens städer lever upp till kravet på hållbarhet i långt ifrån alla sina delar. Städernas moderna tillskott präglas ofta av monotoni och lider av bristande service och otrygghet.

  • Dress Brooches and Identity
    Dress brooches and identities A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF COLLECTIVE IDENTITES AND DRESS BROOCHES IN EARLY MEDIEVAL URBAN AND RURAL SITES IN SOUTH WEST SCANIA Lund university, department of archaeology and ancient history Master’s thesis in historical archaeology spring 2019 (ARKM22) Supervisor: Mats Roslund Examiner: Jes Wienberg Anna Isberg Abstract This thesis concerns early medieval dress brooches from urban and rural sites in South West Scania. The purpose is to investigate similarities and differences between urban and rural sites as well as between the rural places in particular. The main research questions concern the reasons for the similarities and differences, what connections and contact areas are observable according to the dress brooches and how this material can contribute to the discussion about urban and rural identities. The material has not been studied to a large extent before, especially not in any compiling project and is therefore an important piece in understanding the early medieval material culture and the inhabitants in towns and villages in South West Scania. This study is based on the notion that dress brooches were a medium from which people could express their identity. The dress brooches are examined both in terms of types as well as specific objects. Three observations are noticeable in the material in particular; a greater number of objects and types have been retrieved in Lund and more objects with Continental connotations as well as a divergent material among the rural sites. These observations are probably connected to the number of people that were present and visited each site, especially the number of foreign persons.

Det finns nu 1 956 tätorter i Sverige. År 2010 upphörde 29 områden som tätorter på grund av minskad befolkning. 12 tätorter slogs samman med annan tätort och i en tätort är andelen fritidshus för hög för att den skall klassificeras som tätort. Flest nya tätorter har tillkommit i Stockholms län (16 st) och Skåne län (10 st). En tätort definieras kortfattat som ett område med sammanhängande bebyggelse med högst 200 meter mellan husen och minst 200 invånare. Ingen hänsyn tas till kommun- eller länsgränser. 85 procent av landets befolkning bor i tätort År 2010 bodde 8 016 000 personer i tätorter, vilket motsvarar 85 procent av Sveriges hela befolkning. Tätortsbefolkningen ökade med 383 000 personer mellan 2005 och 2010. Störst har ökningen varit i Stockholms län, följt av Skå- ne och Västra Götaland län. Sju tätorter har fler än 100 000 invånare – Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö, Upp- sala, Västerås, Örebro och Linköping. Där bor sammanlagt 28 procent av Sveri- ges befolkning. Av samtliga tätorter har 118 stycken fler än 10 000 invånare och 795 stycken färre än 500 invånare. Tätorterna upptar 1,3 procent av Sveriges landareal. Befolkningstätheten mätt som invånare per km2 har ökat från 1 446 till 1 491 under perioden.
