Contrasting inclusionary housing initiatives in Denmark, Sweden, and Norway
Inclusionary housing policies, aiming at creating both affordable housing and mixed neighbourhoods through land use regulation, do not have a long history in Scandinavia. Although Denmark, Norway, and Sweden have traditional welfare state perspectives on equal opportunities and housing, the use of the planning system to implement policy is hesitant. This article outlines the diverse political backgrounds and influences from housing and planning s…
Sales prices, social rigidity and the second home property market
Second homes are much valued as recreational resources and also as important commodities on the property market. This study examines the trading patterns and regional price development of Danish second homes from 1992 to 2020. Second home sales volumes and prices reflect the general economic booms and busts and also the possibilities to rent out the property on sharing platforms. However, across regional clusters and over time, property price dev…
Sinking into the ocean? Climate change risks and second home planning
Second homes are essential resources for tourism and recreation. Climate change is projected to transform tourism geographies and threaten economic and recreational activities. Based on building and housing register data and national models for climate change hazards, this paper investigates whether second homes in Denmark are potentially affected. Five different hazards are used to describe climate risk based on the RCP8.5 scenario: sea level ri…
Water footprints and sewage management challenges in second home tourism
While water consumption and water conservation have been issues in the discussion of sustainable tourism for many years, the residual part of the water cycle, the management of wastewater, lacks attention in tourism and planning research. This study addresses the wastewater challenges in Danish second home tourism. More than 200,000 second homes represent an important touristic resource both for owners and for short-term renters, and increasingly…
The densification of second home areas — sustainable practice or speculative land use
UN Sustainable Development Goal #11 prescribes a much more careful territorial planning and land use control. This study documents second homes’ land use from this perspective, considering higher built-up density as a measure to limit land-take. The quantitative study includes public property data on all second homes in Denmark. A concise account of the 180,000 properties demonstrates a tendency towards densification, measured as an increase in t…
