Photo: Lena Dahlström The Chairman of the City Executive Board reflects on the past year 2018 was an interesting year for Gothenburg, and in many respects a positive one. Following a period of steady upshift for the city, the next 10–15 years focus on realising the major development boom in earnest. In what remains a strong economy, important strides forward were taken in areas such as infrastructure, urban development, personnel, democracy, and trade and industry.

Ann-Sofie Hermansson (Soc. Dem.) For the first time since 2010, sick leave fell on the Chairman of the City Executive Board previous year. At 8.6% it is still high, but the devel- opment does suggest that increasingly strong efforts regarding the working environment are starting to have an impact. The employee survey conducted at the end of the year substantiates this positive view. The survey also shows improved results overall. In virtually all areas, employees feel that the working environment has improved or remains unchanged. All of this is promising. It is impossible to overstate how important it is to the City to have happy, healthy employees. City of Gothenburg | Annual Report 2018 3 The City of Gothenburg Annual Report is the City Executive Board’s report to the City Council on overall operations and finances for the year. It is also intended for external stakeholders such as lenders, suppliers and other public authorities, as well as for residents of the city. The Annual Report is produced by the City Management Office for the City Executive Board. By way of introduction in the Annual Report the Chairman of the City Executive Board in 2018, Ann-Sofie Hermansson, gives a summary of the past year. This is followed by an outline of the City of Gothenburg’s organisation, assignments and future challenges. The City of Gothenburg Annual Report is then divided into five blocks: How to read the City of Gothenburg Annual Report Administration Report 1 pages 11–37 The first block contains the Administration Report, which must be included in the Annual Report in line with the Accounting Act. It is a summary with a focus on es- sential parts of the City’s finances and activities. To begin with it outlines important decisions and events during the year, along with an assessment of the future for the City of Gothenburg based on a strategic analysis. This is followed by a presentation of how well the City Council’s goals are judged to have been accomplished, and a follow-up of assignments from the City Council’s budget. There is also a description of the development work to better capture citizens’ views in the democratic process- es, and of efforts to clarify the City’s management processes. This section also in- cludes an outline of issues and developments in personnel-related matters, and finally there is a summary financial analysis of the Municipality and combined accounts. Activities of the City of Gothenburg 2 pages 38–66 This block reports some of the activities conducted by the City of Gothenburg’s 30 or so committees and its 20 or so groups and companies during the year. The block is divided into different areas of activity, taken from the City Council budget. In each area, important events and trends are described from different perspectives. Each area concludes with a look at key future issues. 4 City of Gothenburg | Annual Report 2018 Gothenburg Municipality Financial analysis 3 pages 67–84 The term Gothenburg Municipality refers to the committees and central municipal items. The block begins with a financial analysis of the Municipality’s accounts and a report on the concepts of good financial management and the balanced budget requirement. The block also contains a compilation of key financial figures, and ends with a brief description of the financial results of the district committees and the departmental committees, followed by the Municipality’s operational accounts and investment accounts. Combined accounts financial analysis 4 pages 85–98 In the municipal sector, Group accounts are referred to as combined accounts. In addition to the Municipality, the Group comprises the municipal companies and the joint statutory authorities and coordination associations. This block begins with a financial analysis of the accounts. There is then a summary analysis of Göteborgs Stadshus AB and its clusters with a presentation of earnings and total assets, as well as the companies’ investments. There is also a report on the management of foundations and sponsorship in the City of Gothenburg during the year.

Municipality accounts and consolidated accounts 5 pages 99–123 The final block looks at the Municipality’s and the combined income statement, balance sheet and cash flow statement along with accompanying notes.

  • An Assessment of Park & Ride in Gothenburg
    HANDELSHÖGSKOLAN - GRADUATE SCHOOL MASTER THESIS Supervisor: Michael Browne Graduate School An assessment of Park & Ride in Gothenburg A case study on the effect of Park & Ride on congestion and how to increase its attractiveness Written by: Sélim Oucham Pedro Gutiérrez Touriño Gothenburg, 27/05/2019 Abstract Traffic congestion is with environmental pollution one of the main cost externalities caused by an increased usage of cars in many cities in the last decades. In many ways, traffic congestion impacts the everyday life of both drivers and citizens. In this thesis, the authors study how one solution designed to tackle congestion, the Park & Ride service, is currently used in the city of Gothenburg, where it is referred as Pendelparkering. This scheme allows commuters to park their car outside the city and then use public transport to their destination, thus avoiding having more cars in the city centre and reducing congestion. The goal is to know to what extent it helps solving the problem of congestion as well as how it can be ameliorated to make it more attractive. In order to do so, an analysis of the theory on Park & Ride and traffic congestion is performed, including a benchmark of three cities using the system and different views on its effectiveness in reducing congestion. Then, an empirical study relating to the City of Gothenburg is realized. The challenges around Park & Ride and the way different stakeholders organise themselves to ensure the service is provided in a satisfying way are thoroughly investigated. Interviews with experts and users, on- site observations and secondary data collection were used as different approaches to answer these questions.

Murdie and Lars-Erik BorgegaÊrd [Paper received in ® nal form, August 1997] Summary Immigration policy and the origins of immigrants coming to Sweden have changed dramatically during the post-World War Two period. During the same period, changes in housing policy have affected the type of accommodation available to immigrants and refugees. It is within the context of these and other changes that we develop a model of the driving forces behind spatial segregation and housing segmentation in Sweden and document and evaluate shifts in the spatial segregation and housing segmentation of immigrants in the Stockholm region between 1960 and 1995. 1.

  • Homelessness Research and Policy Development: Examples from the Nordic Countries Lars Benjaminsen and Marcus Knutagård
    10th Anniversary Issue 45 Homelessness Research and Policy Development: Examples from the Nordic Countries Lars Benjaminsen and Marcus Knutagård SFI – The Danish National Centre for Social Research, Copenhagen, Denmark School of Social Work, Lund University, Lund, Sweden >> Abstract_ The interaction between research and policy development has played an important role in the transformation of homelessness policies and services over the last decade. Evidence from research on Housing First programmes and interventions in North America has informed the develop- ment of experimental Housing First programmes in many European countries. Moreover, studies on the profiles of homeless people and patterns of service use have supported an ongoing transition from mainly emergency and temporary responses towards strategic approaches with a focus on long-term and permanent solutions. This article will focus on the Nordic countries, where there has been close interaction between research and policy development in the formation of national strategies and programmes. In Denmark, Norway and Sweden, comprehensive national counts of homelessness have been carried out based on similar definitions and methodology and in Finland, monitoring of the extent and profiles of homelessness has been carried out for several years. In Denmark and Finland, national data have been used in the formation of national homelessness strategies that have been based on the Housing First principle, and data have been used to monitor developments in homelessness following implementation of these programmes. In Sweden, influential research on the staircase system has contributed to in-depth understanding of the unintended exclusion mechanisms that may sometimes be inherent in home- lessness policies. >> Keywords_ Homelessness research, policy development, strategic response, Housing First ISSN 2030-2762 / ISSN 2030-3106 online 46 European Journal of Homelessness _ Volume 10, No.

  • Preliminary Overview of City Measures to Mitigate the Socio- Economic Impact of COVID-19
    Preliminary overview of city measures to mitigate the socio- economic impact of COVID-19 Policy note 4 May 2020 Cities are on the frontline of managing the COVID-19 crisis. They are dealing with the immediate consequences of the crisis. Many cities have adapted their services in quick, effective, and innovative ways to respond to the emergency. As we are moving past the emergency stage of this crisis, many cities are pro-actively setting out measures to mitigate the social and economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis on people, jobs, businesses, the local economy and equality and inclusion in cities. EUROCITIES has compiled a preliminary overview of policy responses that cities have recently adopted to mitigate the socio-economic effects of the COVID-19 crisis in the short, medium and long-term. This document builds on an existing collection of economic measures on subnational level assembled in the Economic Bulletin N°3 of the European Committee of the Regions. It also brings together examples from about 50 cities that were published on cities’ websites, and on our EUROCITIES web platform www.covidnews.eurocities.eu. In a nutshell, the most common mitigating measures in cities are: • providing financial aid to local businesses and people most affected by COVID-19 crisis • improving the conditions and access to loans for businesses • pausing rent payments • introducing flexibility and exemption of tax and fee payments • compensating businesses having contracts with the municipality • compensating for damages • involving private donors

Ports around the world as well as part of the local societies also deal with sustainability issues. The sustainability work performed by each port needs to be assessed and report. For this the sustainability report can be used. In this master thesis, a sustainability assessment of the Gothenburg Port Authority has been conducted aiming to investigate the link between organisational structure and the sustainability work performed in the organisation. The sustainability report of the Gothenburg’s Port Authority has been used as a tool to assess the organisation’s sustainability work.
