Master Thesis (60 ECTS) the Potential for Park & Ride in Denmark UNIVERSITY OF COPENHAGEN F A C U L T Y OF SCIENCE Master Thesis (60 ECTS) Anna Viktoria Ahlehoff Hansen – HWR839 The Potential for Park & Ride in Denmark Rethinking commuter mobility Supervisor: Lasse Møller-Jensen October 2019 Abstract The aim of this thesis is to collect information about Park & Ride in Denmark, with a focus on four case municipalities: Stevns, Køge, Solrød and Greve. Park & Ride facilities are not that common in Denmark. However, there might be a potential for them to become so. An increasing awareness of the problems connected with the expansion of the car began to unfold in the 1980s, such as congestion-, parking-, health- and environmental problems. A Park & Ride journey constitutes a mode of travel whereby the traveller drives to a Park & Ride facility, parks the car and then takes the train – therefore, it has the ability to fight congestion. Danish and international findings on Park & Ride define factors, such as available parking, time-saving and walking distance, as important when using Park & Ride. Despite this, literature on this topic is limited. For this reason, different findings on Park & Ride have been gathered in this thesis through different methods: a survey on preferences, an interview with a Park & Ride project manager in the municipality of Køge, and a GIS analysis of the potential time-savings. This thesis focuses mainly on ten chosen preferences regarding Park & Ride: 1) Easy access, 2) Walking distance to station, 3) Available parking, 4) Safe to use, 5) Neat and welcoming, 6) Time-saving, 7) Train frequency, 8) Shops and stores, 9) Walking distance to final destination, and 10) Changing train. Findings on each of the ten preferences have been summarised in order to compare and discuss them. The findings show that there is a potential for Park & Ride in Denmark. Nevertheless, this depends on actions being taken at both the municipal and state level. As a result, this thesis lists a number of recommendations that concern actions that can be carried out at the state level or the municipal level in order to make Park & Ride more common in Denmark.

  • Finger Plan’ a Robust Urban Planning Success Based on Collaborative Governance
    OUP CORRECTED PROOF – FINAL, 25/7/2019, SPi 12 The Copenhagen Metropolitan ‘Finger Plan’ A Robust Urban Planning Success Based on Collaborative Governance Eva Sørensen and Jacob Torfing The Long Shadow of a Post-War Expansion Plan The metropolitan area in the Danish capital of Copenhagen has successfully avoided both urban sprawl and overly dense and chaotic urbanization. The early adoption of a comprehensive and adaptive urban plan has created a well-balanced, award-winning metropolitan area that combines residential neighbourhoods with green areas and access to public transport. The urban plan was drafted seventy years ago and still governs urban planning practices in the greater Copenhagen area. Physical planning of urban developments is extremely complex due to con- flicting pressures on land use, contradictory socio-economic dynamics, uncertain prognoses and outcomes, multi-level governance structures, and limited public planning capacities. In addition, comprehensive planning of housing and sup- portive infrastructures often fails because planning experts dream up ambitious master plans that have little or no bearing on local conditions, knowledge, and needs and only enjoy modest political and popular support. Finally yet import- antly, socio-economic turbulence, shifting political priorities, and bureaucratic resistance may undermine stated planning objectives and preferred strategies for how to attain them. Against this background, it is surprising how successful the so-called ‘Finger Plan’ in Copenhagen has been in governing decades of urban expansion in ways that secure desired outcomes in terms of high quality urban living and continuous support for core planning objectives by elected politicians, public planners, private stakeholders, and citizens. The Finger Plan was conceived in the optimistic post-war years from 1945 to 1948 when pressure on land use outside the city centre was still limited.

September 2015 Studienkennzahl lt. Studienblatt: A 066 664 Studienrichtung lt. Studienblatt: Masterstudium DDP Urban Studies Betreuer: Prof. Dr. Jesús Leal (Universidad Complutense de Madrid) Sandra Jurasszovich Location of Social Housing: Analysing spatial spatial patterns of social housing schemes in Vienna and Copenhagen Erasmus Mundus Master Course in Urban Studies [4Cities] 2013-2015 1st of September 2015 Supervisor: Jesús Leal Abstract Providing social housing is a crucial subject in current political debate as well as in scientific literature. When examining the topic of social housing there are two major issues: firstly, what socio- demographic groups are entitled to benefit from social housing and how has the socio-economic composition changed over the last decades? And secondly, where in a city are social housing units built? The latter question, which is related to the planning system of a city, is oftentimes underestimated, disregarded or simply overlooked in literature covering social housing in Europe. This thesis addresses exactly this problem, its objective being the identification of how the planning systems are used to influence the location of social housing developments across urban space by the example of Vienna and Copenhagen. Both cities have repeatedly been appraised as being amongst the most liveable cities worldwide. As a result of their increasing attractiveness as a place to live in, land and housing prices have been soaring. The research underlines that the possibilities for providers of social housing are limited considerably by high land price.

The intention is to propose a set of policy options to enhance the contribution of these infrastructures to economic and social development at home and abroad in the years to come. The Project follows on from the work undertaken in the OECD’s Infrastructure to 2030 Report and focuses on gateways, hubs and corridors which were not encompassed in the earlier report. The objectives include identifying projections and scenarios to 2015 / 2030 / 2050, opportunities and challenges facing gateways and hubs, assessing future infrastructure needs and financing models, drawing conclusions and identifying policy options for improved gateway and corridor infrastructure in future. The Project Description includes five work modules that outline the scope and content of the work in more detail. The Steering Group and OECD International Futures Programme team are managing the project, which is being undertaken in consultation with the OECD / International Transport Forum and Joint Transport Research Centre and with the participation of OECD in-house and external experts as appropriate.

The project began August 1st, 2019, with hand-in at January 17th, 2020, and has to be finished with an oral defence January 28th, 2020. The report is divided into several chapters, where the first chapter consists of the introduction to the report. The second chapter introduces the current state of the S-train network and the remaining public transport network in the Greater Copenhagen Area. The third chapter evaluates the need for a new S-train tunnel and this analysis is written on the basis of an evaluation of the capacity consumption, delays and population development. Chapter 4, 5 and 6 describe the theory and methodology behind timetabling of S-trains in RailSys and public transport models. Chapter 7 introduces the socio-economic analysis which is conducted for the two scenarios in the project.
