“…Similar multiscale networks of public green space for recreation and leisure can also be observed in post-war urban areas in Denmark (see e.g. Braae et al 2020;Jessen & Tietjen 2021;Høghøj 2022), and as Hautamäki (2022) shows, recreational planning and landscape planning came also to be closely tied to urbanisation in Finland during the post-war period. In Sweden, a multitude of indoor and outdoor sports facilities, football fields, lighted running tracks, ski facilities, open fields for spontaneous activities, natural areas for hiking and a wide variety of other facilities came to materialise during the 1960-70s see also Sandell 2008).…”

Outdoor recreational activities, at recreational facilities, in nature and urban green areas, are proven to benefit both the mental and physical health of urban residents. However, in the contemporary urban planning paradigm, where compact cities are forefront, planning for outdoor recreational amenities is increasingly in conflict with such compact ideals. In a Swedish context, a historical perspective on the question of outdoor recreation in the urban sphere discloses a rich legacy of past welfare recreational planning resting on the notion of enabling sports for all. In this thesis, I aim to offer an interpretation, and to deepen the understanding of, the interactions and tensions between outdoor recreation, compact city models and lingering planning legacies of past recreational planning. I do this in order to scrutinise the conditions for outdoor recreation within the compact city. The thesis adopts a material-semiotic approach and leans on assemblage theory, science and technology scholars working on the ordering effects of planning and previous studies on materialised discourses in the landscape. Findings of the thesis indicate an increasing fragmentation of outdoor recreation. This fragmentation leads to multiple definitions of the issue and a fragmented geography for outdoor recreation. These intertwined fragmentations, the thesis argues, support the rationales of the compact city, while marginalising outdoor recreational geographies. Based on the findings, the thesis concludes a need of reassembling landscapes for outdoor recreation and suggests that a historical perspective offers a fruitful way to do so.
