Med sikte mot en hållbar stad: En kvalitativ studie av konflikthantering och hållbarhetsdefinitioner i Halmstad kommuns översiktsplan Framtidsplan 2050.
Abstract
Cities all throughout the globe try to balance a rising population with sustainability. Urban
growth is essential for overall development, according to the sustainable development goals.
The contradiction between prioritising growth and making sure residents' demands are met
presents a challenge to urban planners. "Framtidsplan 2050," the Halmstad municipality's
urban planning manual, conveys the sustainability of social, ecological, and economic
systems. This research is used to analyse the conflicts and sustainability definitions found in
the plan and how they have affected its impact. The thesis shows that it is challenging to get
consensus on a definition of sustainability and that there is a probability that the three
sustainability criteria would clash at some point throughout the planning process.
Furthermore, it appears that conflicts over competing interests, such as the maintenance of
open green spaces, traffic-related problems, and development projects, are usually present in
disagreements. Recognising and resolving such conflicts is essential to ensuring sustainable
urban development. The outcome demonstrates that Halmstad municipality makes every
effort to resolve disputes regarding social, economic, and ecological sustainability in a way
that is highly sustainable and prioritises an integrated solution. Additionally, efforts to adapt
to the climate are essential to the city's growth, which aligns with vigorous efforts to promote
sustainable development.
