Conceptualizing Testbed Planning : Urban Planning in the Intersection between Experimental and Public Sector Logic
- 2020

In: Urban Planning. - : Cogitatio Press. - 2183-7635. ; 5:1, s. 96-106

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Urban planning is, in many countries, increasingly becoming intertwined with local climate ambitions, investments in urban attractiveness and “smart city” innovation measures. In the intersection between these trends, urban experimentation has developed as a process where actors are granted action space to test innovations in a collaborative setting. One arena for urban experimentation is urban testbeds. Testbeds are sites of urban development, in which experimentation constitutes an integral part of planning and developing the area. This article introduces the notion of testbed planning as a way to conceptualize planning processes in delimited sites where planning is combined with processes of urban experimentation. We define testbed planning as a multi-actor, collaborative planning process in a delimited area, with the ambition to generate and disseminate learning while simultaneously developing the site. The aim of this article is to explore processes of testbed planning with regard to the role of urban planners. Using an institutional logics perspective we conceptualize planners as navigating between a public sector—and an experimental logic. The public sector logic constitutes the formal structure of “traditional” urban planning, and the experimental logic a collaborative and testing governance structure. Using examples from three Nordic municipalities, this article explores planning roles in experiments with autonomous buses in testbeds. The analysis shows that planners negotiate these logics in three different ways, combining and merging them, separating and moving between them or acting within a conflictual process where the public sector logic dominates.

Editorial: Making Space for Hope: Exploring its Ethical, Activist and Methodological Implications
- 2019
-
In: plaNext. - : Association of European Schools of Planning (AESOP). - 2468-0648. ; 8, s. 6-9
-
Journal article (other academic/artistic)abstract
- [From the introduction] This volume is a special issue with contributions that stem from the collaborations of the 2018 AESOP PhD workshop, held 5-8 July at Tjärö island, Sweden. The overarching aim of the workshop was to establish inclusive spaces for dialogue and collaboration between PhD students across countries and continents on issues that pertained to the AESOP’s 2018 congress theme “Making space for hope”. Furthermore the PhD students got the chance to learn from the invited mentors with long experience from the academic planning field. The theme drew from a recognition of the severe challenges facing the world at present, for example, challenges coupled with the climate crisis, growing social inequalities, rapid population growth in urban regions and de-population trends in peripheral regions.

Experiment för hållbar mobilitet. Vad innoveras det (inte) kring i svenska kommuner?
- 2019

Book chapter (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Våra städer har under de senaste 100 åren till stor del präglats av bilen(Urry, 2004). Bilismen har påverkat allt från den moderna stadsplaneringens utformning, till hur vi konsumerar, våra boendemönster, arbetsmarknadsre- gionernas utbredning och inte minst dagens fossilberoende och utsläpp av växthusgaser. Traditionellt sett har svensk kommunal planering varit inriktad på att försöka tillgodose en prognostiserad ökad efterfrågan på bilresor, och bilen har varit en given parameter att ta hänsyn till i stadsplaneringen.Vi vet idag att en omställning av transportsektorn är avgörande för uppfyllandet av de klimatpolitiska målen och FN:s 2030-mål. Såväl forskare som praktiker har därför framhävt behovet av att öka andelen energieffektiva transportslag som gång, cykel och kollektivtrafik. Med god vilja kan det här betraktas som framväxten av ett nytt mer hållbart paradigm - som förvisso är omstritt - men som istället lyfter fram vikten av ett mer hållbart resande och en planeringspraktik där den privatägda bilen inte står i fokus.(...)I det här kapitlet undersöker vi specifikt vad kommuner experimenterar om inom mobilitetsområdet, och vilka förväntningar som tillskrivs experimenten. Vilket slags samhälle föreställer de sig? Och hur radikalt annorlunda, eller disruptivt, är detta samhälle ur ett hållbarhetsperspektiv?(från introduktion)

In-between stability and adaptability : Making sense of innovation platforms
- 2023
-
In: DISP. - 0251-3625. ; 59:2, s. 22-37
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Innovation platforms are new collaborative organisations in the urban development context that aim to support innovation. They assemble different organisations and actors and act as flexible intermediary links between the same. By being intrinsically flexible and adaptable in form and function, the innovation platform can be seen as an organisational accomplishment or enactment of adaptive planning. Central to adaptive planning is the balance between organisational flexibility and stability, which is also intrinsic to any public innovation work. Public sector innovations are often perceived to require open and experimental trial and error strategies – while their institutional setting simultaneously requires stability. The aim of this article is to analyse how individuals working in innovation platforms make sense of their organisation at the intersection of adaptability and stability. We describe the tension between adaptability and stability inherent to innovation platforms, as the platforms are set to facilitate relationships between actors while maintaining their role as an independent organisation. This article is based on an in-depth multiple-case study of 15 innovation platforms in the Nordic countries, consisting of interviews with representatives, as well as extensive desktop material and participant observations. By adopting an organisational and sense-making perspective, we analyse how people working in platforms enact their organisations and their environment through processes of belief and action-driven sense-making. We conclude that despite innovation platforms’ strong advocacy – and sense-making – in terms of adaptability and chameleon-like characteristics, stability is enacted through making sense of themselves as a legitimate and necessary position/node in urban planning and development.

Local autonomy and the partnership principle : Collaborative governance in the European Social Fund in Sweden
- 2024
-
In: Public Money and Management. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0954-0962 .- 1467-9302.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Against the backdrop of strong local self-government, this article analyses how local autonomy in Sweden has been affected by the implementation of the European Social Fund (ESF) and the ‘partnership principle’. Guided by theories on collaborative governance, the authors analyse three empirically-derived forms of organizational collaborative arrangements: top-down decision- making, bottom-up regional initiatives, and horizontal local collaboration. The article illustrates how the implementation of ESF in Swedish municipalities enables local autonomy but also limits the influence of local public actors in formal and informal decision-making processes.
