Mistra Urban Futures is an international research and knowledge centre for sustainable urban development. We develop and apply knowledge to promote accessible, green and fair cities. Co-production – jointly defining, developing and applying knowledge across different disciplines and subject areas from both research and practice – is our way of working. The centre was founded in and is managed from Gothenburg, but also has platforms in Skåne (southern Sweden), Stockholm, Sheffield-Manchester (United Kingdom), Kisumu (Kenya), and Cape Town (South Africa). www.mistraurbanfutures.org The Gothenburg Region (GR) consists of 13 municipalities The Gothenburg Region 2019. who have chosen to work together.

The need for new and inno- vative ways to approach future choices is obvious. The Helena Söderbäck challenges must be met from the combined experience of Executive Director of the Gothenburg Region (GR) the public sector and academia, as well as businesses and civil society. 3 Highlights from the Gothenburg Region’s Mistra Urban Futures Network 2018 The Gothenburg Region (GR) has a network of municipal representatives linked to Mistra Urban Futures, tasked with: • Initiating, monitoring, and disseminating joint research and development projects that benefit the entire region and individual member municipalities. • Ensuring that the process results in useful tools and methods for the sustainable development of the metropolitan area. • Contributing to employee development through creating a shared arena. Both researchers and municipal representatives attend the network meetings to discuss current initiatives and research results. Below are some highlights from the network meetings in 2018.

See fg. 2 page 14] Chalmers Reproservice Gothenburg, Sweden 2016 DRAFT DRAFT 2 Communicative Interfaces for Planning - Social learning in participatory local networks in a Swedish context LISA BOMBLE Department of Architecture Chalmers University of Technology ABSTRACT Swedish municipalities connect participation strategies to objectives concerning sustainable development, as we all need to be part of the solution when it comes to climate change and resource scarcity. The manda- tory participatory meetings in municipal planning are criticized for being slow and ineffcient and alterna- tive, parallel methods of participation are called for. After having followed two municipalities’ efforts in trying their hand at such alternative methods, conclu- sions have been drawn about participation in municipal planning in general. The frst case study in the mu- nicipality of Uddevalla (2009-2011) dealt with specifc participatory methods in practice, while the second case study in the municipality of Lerum (2011-2014) focused on organizational changes. A vast empirical material has been collected in interviews, workshops and meetings, most of which have been audio-recorded.

  • TIME for SHIFT CHANGE in the FABRIC of EXISTENCE Exploring the Role of Darkness and Artificial Light for Humans and Biodiversity
    TIME FOR SHIFT CHANGE IN THE FABRIC OF EXISTENCE Exploring the role of darkness and artificial light for humans and biodiversity Author: Maya Strömgren Supervisor: Mattias Sandberg Master’s thesis in Geography with major in Human Geography Spring semester 2021 Department of Economy and Society Unit for Human Geography School of Business, Economics and Law at University of Gothenburg Student essay: 30 hec Course: GEO230 Level: Master Semester/year: Spring 2021 Supervisor: Mattias Sandberg Examiner: Jerry Olsson Key words: Darkness, artificial light, light pollution, biodiversity, human- non-human relations, all-ecology, non-representational theory. Abstract This thesis departs from the loss of biodiversity due to artificial light at night. The diurnal human has taken over all hours of the day instead of the natural light once, meaning that space and time have become limited for the nocturnal living species. Earlier research concern how darkness and artificial light affect either animals, insects, and plants, or humans’ health. The combination of the two, however, remains largely unresearched. Therefore, this geographical thesis dives into this gap by exploring humans and biodiversity in relation to darkness and artificial light. Building on that exploration, the aim was further to formulate generative ways forward in the matter. A qualitative method was conducted, consisting of a self-written Darkness Diary and walking interviews with a moth-expert, a bat expert, and a light designer and light artist. The theory of all-ecology was applied as an ontological stand and a geographical toolbox. Non- representational theory (NRT) was further applied as a guide in the exploration of experience.

    EEVC Brussels, Belgium, November 19-22, 2012 The Swedish car movement data project Lars-Henrik Kullingsjö 1, Sten Karlsson 2 Energy and Environment, Chalmers University of Technology Gothenburg, SE-41296, Sweden [email protected], [email protected] Abstract To facilitate a well-informed and efficient transition to electrified vehicles, such as PHEVs, information about individual vehicle’s movements over longer time periods is needed. This is of major importance for optimal battery design, estimation of consumer viability and assessment of the potential for PHEVs to shift energy use in transport sector from fuel to electricity. Good and publicly available data of this kind is today unfortunately lacking. The aim of this project has been to gather a larger amount of data on the characteristics and distribution of individual movements for privately driven cars in Sweden by measurement with GPS equipment. The logging was performed with commercial equipment containing a GPS unit, including a roof-mounted antenna, and a gprs communication unit. Data logged were: time, position, velocity, and number and id of used satellites. The measurement started in June 2010 and ended in September 2012. The target is to accomplish good quality measurements of at least 30 days for about 500 representative vehicles. All data is not yet processed but in this paper initial statistics is offered to present important areas of use and possibilities for future work. Keywords: GPS measurement, car movement pattern, PHEV, Sweden Today however there is a lack of publicly available 1 Introduction good quality data on car movement patterns.
