  • 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.

  • World Masters Orienteering Championships Gothenburg 2015 Bulletin 2
    World Masters Orienteering Championships Gothenburg 2015 Bulletin 2 Greetings On behalf of the IOF Council I want to welcome you to the World Masters Orienteering Championships in Gothenburg. One of the greatest strengths of our sport is that it is for people of all ages and our annual festival of the WMOC demonstrates that so clearly. I want to thank the Swedish Orienteering Federation for their willingness to host this World Masters Championships and I also want to thank the mayor and people of the City of Gothenburg for what I am sure will be the warmest of welcomes to masters orienteers from all over the world. Above all, I want to wish all those of you who are participating in the Championships, success and enjoyment as you run in the beautiful Swedish forests and may you all make new friends in our great world orienteering family. Brian Porteous, President IOF At last we can welcome you back to Sweden! Welcome to World Masters Orienteering Championships in Sweden and in Gothenburg! Finally our dream will be fulfilled, i.e. to see all the world master orienteerers compete in Gothenburg and its surroundings. Our great hope is that you all will have demanding courses and fair competitions in a beautiful Swedish environment. A Masters Championship is much more than that. Many of you have participated in this competition several times before, perhaps already in Åmål 1988, so you know that no two competitions are the same. This year the vision is a compact event with short distances to everything which we hope you will appreciate.

  • 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
