Challenges for Transportation Planning and Organization in the Stockholm Region

Abstract

The current model for regional infrastructure and urban planning in the Stockholm Region emerged over the early post-war decades. It is a model that proved to be inadequate already early on. That the model does not work is partly due to the conditions for regional planning over the past half century being fundamentally altered in several important respects. There is a need to search for new alternatives for how to organize and fund the regional community planning and the vital infrastructure systems in Stockholm. A discussion of these issues needs to address both the level that is to apply for the organization, from the local level to the regional/central level, and how funding should be solved, with taxes or fees. Four different models for the future organization are discussed in the article. They are not mutually exclusive but demonstrate how different developmental pathways can be pragmatically combined in order to create a regional governance model that is suited for future challenges rather than for since long-gone social conditions.<p>QC 20160714</p

Spatial analysis of region interaction of West-East corridor's strategic economic area of West Sumatera Province, Indonesia

“…The gap causes trouble in the mobilization of goods and services due to limited transportation and communication, so the income per capita of the community is low. Good infrastructure development will ensure efficiency, facilitate the movement of goods and services, and increase the added value of the economy (Skorobogatova & Kuzmina-Merlino, 2017;Hasselgren & Englén, 2016;Sutriadi et al, 2015;Jurgelane-Kaldava et al, 2019).…”
