Digitized utopias: Public service delivery in smart Stockholm
A climate report gone missing – power mechanisms in Swedish national transport planning
While the technological development of vehicles and fuels is not adequate to meet current climate mitigation targets, infrastructure development also plays an important role in transforming the transport system.Previous studies have argued that conventional infrastructure planning is incapable of implementing climate mitigation.The aim of the paper is to provide insights into power means and mechanisms that counteract integration of climate mitig…
The Role of Local Public Authorities in Steering toward Smart and Sustainable Mobility: Findings from the Stockholm Metropolitan Area
The contemporary transport policy discourse has come to include an increasing focus on smart mobility. This paper contributes to this discussion by exploring early understandings among local public authorities who have a formal responsibility to steer the transport system toward sustainability objectives. The paper analyzes different governing strategies expressed by local civil servants and shows examples of leadership, a market-driven approach …
Approaching Change: Exploring Cracks in the Eco-Modern Sustainability Paradigm
Sustainability discourse offers a plethora of perspectives on the type of change needed to ensure a just development within planetary boundaries, and how that change could come about. Calls for radical transformations nonetheless underline the need to examine prevalent discursive structures in society, including challenging the ‘ideology of growth’, in order to formulate new and transformative policy approaches. Based on empirical insights as to …
Governance arrangements shaping driverless shuttles in public transport: The case of Barkarbystaden, Stockholm
Based on an understanding of automation as various technological and organisational configurations in the making, this article aims to deepen insights into the governance arrangements shaping how automation is being introduced in public transport. Using a qualitative case study, we analyse the introduction of automated shuttle buses in Barkarbystaden, in the north-west of the Stockholm region, Sweden. Participant observation and qualitative inter…
Institutional capacity to integrate ‘radical’ perspectives on sustainability in small municipalities: Experiences from Sweden
Scenarios for sustainable futures beyond GDP growth 2050
The idea of continued economic growth is increasingly questioned and critically analysed on the basis of its potential negative sustainability impact. Along with the critique, visions and strategies for alternative systems need also be brought onto the agenda. The aim of this paper is to present the qualitative content of scenarios that explore sustainability strategies for Swedish society when economic growth is not seen as an end in itself, and…
Local Interpretations of Degrowth—Actors, Arenas and Attempts to Influence Policy
During the last decade, degrowth has developed into a central research theme within sustainability science. A significant proportion of previous works on degrowth has focused on macro-level units of analysis, such as global or national economies. Less is known about local interpretations of degrowth. This study explored interpretations of growth and degrowth in a local setting and attempts to integrate degrowth ideas into local policy. The work w…
Networked authority and regionalised governance: Public transport, a hierarchy of documents and the anti-hierarchy of authorship
This paper is concerned with the authority of written documents and how these artefacts work as governance devices. Networked authority is introduced as a concept to elucidate how documents accumulate formal power in a collaborative process, where several formally independent but informally interdependent organisations together point out the direction of regional public transport planning in the form of one strategic document. Drawing upon recent…
The relationship between formal and informal institutions for governance of public transport
The struggle to achieve holistic landscape planning: Lessons from planning the E6 road route through Tanum World Heritage Site, Sweden
Negotiating climate change responses: Regional and local perspectives on transport and coastal zone planning in South Sweden
Building acceptance for congestion charges – the Swedish experiences compared
Strategy making and power in environmental assessments. Lessons from the establishment of an out-of-town shopping centre in Västerås, Sweden
From consultation to deliberation? Tracing deliberative norms in EIA frameworks in Swedish roads planning
