“…Every municipality has to have an updated MCP document that states what the present and intended land use is, as well as all national land-use interests for the whole municipal area. The MCP document should present the political vision and strategic choices for a long-term SuD of the physical environment (Nylund, 2014;SFS, 2010:900). The purpose of the MCP process and document is: (a) a state-of-the-art description of present and future land use, (b) an instrument for negotiations between local and national interests and (c) a strategic politically based plan for the future direction and the implementation of central directives.…”

Between protocol and reality: Swedish municipal comprehensive planning. Spatial planning using a landscape approach has been recognized as being essential for reconciling ecological, cultural and socioeconomic dimensions in sustainable development (SuD). Although embraced as a concept, there is a lack of planning tools capable of incorporating multi-level, multifunctional and multi-sectoral perspectives, especially in a rural context. The departure point in this paper is the legal requirements for municipal comprehensive planning (MCP) in Sweden and an e-mail survey about incentives, stakeholder involvement, policy integration and implementation in MCP in all 15 Swedish mountain municipalities. The purpose of this explorative study is to examine whether MCP could be a tool in planning for SuD. Results indicate a general lack of resources and a low status of MCP that affect, and even limit, stakeholder involvement, policy integration and implementation. However, legal requirements for MCP are targeted at SuD, and municipal personnel responsible for planning appreciate the potential of MCP. Therefore, there is potential to develop the MCP into an effective landscape planning tool. To accomplish this, the status of an active planning process has to be raised, the mandate of the local planning agency has to be secured, and residents and land users have to be involved throughout the planning process.

“…According to Nylund, there are claims in drafts of the new Plan explicitly stating that it is important to have an open and positive attitude to initiatives emanating from property owners and developers. This, according to Nylund, is part of a tendency to move away from seeing citizens' involvement as a matter of justice (Nylund, : 14; see also Malmö, : 58).…”

Beyond a Liberal Critique of ‘Trickle Down': Urban Planning in the City of Malmö

This article scrutinizes the much used, but less examined, concept of ‘trickle down' in an urban setting. We make a distinction between the production of and distribution in the city, and argue that trickle down in contemporary urban policy could be regarded as the liberal link between production and distribution. Based on interviews with key figures and document analyses, we look at the transformation of the Swedish city of Malmö from an industrial to a post‐industrial city, where, during the last two decades, we have found three concurrent components: the ideology of trickle down; several urban policy programs and governmental policies to ‘make' money and resources trickle down; as well as increased economic polarization and segregation. A liberal critique of trickle down would argue that market mechanisms cannot by themselves solve distribution, and that government policies therefore are needed. We argue for the need to go beyond a liberal critique of trickle down and stress how unequal distribution is built into the unequal production of the city.

“…So, rather than representing dead (contract) texts that can gradually become fixed through interpretation (Andersen 2008: 123), partnership agreements seem to be about imagination; the future is waiting to be formed by the power of will and imagination, as it were (O'Malley 2004: 71). It could be argued that visionary planning, aimed at moulding and strengthening shared identities, leaves little room for political struggles or ideological battles, and it weakens the democratic transparency and accountability of the planning process (see e.g., Baeten 2012;Dannestam 2008;Gressgård 2015a/b;Nylund 2014). In largely uncontested, managerial terms, specific spaces and populations are constituted as a form of exteriority that menaces the integrity and development of the city (or society) (Dikeç 2007: 172).…”

Welfare Policing and the Safety–Security Nexus in Urban Governance: <i>The expanded cohesion agenda in Malmö</i>

Based on a study of policy frames in Malmö, this article discusses the safety-security nexus in urban governance. It argues that perceived safety is constituted as an index of order and that security politics becomes a means to this end. Security forms part and parcel of an expanded cohesion agenda that links criminal justice, immigration control, and integration as a chain. This multilevelled policy chain, which includes police collaboration with governmental as well as non-governmental actors, opens up for expanded policing -termed welfare policing -in immigrant-dense areas of the city. The expansive security politics conflates welfare provision with crime prevention in specific urban districts, thus rendering entire sub-populations legible as 'dangerous' others against which society, or the city, must be defended. In conclusion, the article argues that the inherited structures and institutions of the welfare state seem to offer favourable conditions for expanded policing in urban space.
