White Paper on Nordic Sustainable Cities
- 2017
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Rapid urbanisation is one of today’s biggest global challenges. Nordic Sustainable Cities is a flagship project under the Nordic Prime Ministers’ initiative Nordic Solutions to Global Challenges that seeks to shed light on this challenge from a Nordic perspective.The White Paper on Nordic Sustainable Cities develops a narrative to describe the “Nordic Sustainable City”. It forms a basis for the knowledge sharing effort that will be carried out by Nordic Innovation, Nordregio’s sister institution under the Nordic Council of Ministers in 2018. This work aims to export Nordic stories as a means of branding the Nordic Region and contributing to global efforts towards urban sustainability.

What Makes a Sustainable City?
- 2018
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Find inspirationin the Nordic cities. This booklet showcases the Nordic Sustainable Cities – giving you an insight into the shared practices that Nordic cities are using towards sustainable urban futures. The challenges that Nordic cities face – unsustainable resource consumption, pollution, homelessness, segregation, to name a few – are not unique to the region, but found all over the world. The Nordic region and its cities are on a journey towards sustainability, and we invite you to join us. This booklet is based on the White Paper on Nordic Sustainable Cities made by Nordregio. The booklet and the white paper has been made as part of the Nordic Sustainable Cities project. Nordic Sustainable Cities is one of six flagship projects under the Nordic prime ministers’ initiative Nordic Solutions to Global Challenges, which is coordinated by the Nordic Council of Ministers.

Legitimizing a world-class hospital : policy mobility and narratives in megaproject planning
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Geografiska Annaler. Series B, Human Geography. - 0435-3684 .- 1468-0467.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Megaprojects are vehicles of change and spatial products of policies from near and far. In this paper, we demonstrate how insights from the policy mobility literature can contribute to a critical analysis of the legitimization of megaprojects. Through a study of the planning of a new ‘”world-class” hospital in Stockholm, we show that ideas, experiences, and practices from abroad played a decisive role in legitimizing this megaproject. Policies mobilized from elsewhere were strategically used to construct, modify, and (re)present a legitimizing narrative centred on the aspiration of excellence and international competitiveness. This narrative emphasized the need to transform both the spatial structure and the organization of the studied welfare institution based on political and value-based rationalities. Initial international references and ideas were adopted in an unstructured and selective manner, but proved enduring throughout the extensive planning process and were eventually consolidated into a coherent concept, effectively excluding alternative development paths. The vague notion of “world-class” functioned as a ‘magic concept’ that strengthened this narrative, rendering the project difficult to criticize. In conclusion, the paper emphasizes the importance of considering the temporal dimension of planning processes alongside the relational geographies of policy-mobility in megaproject analyses.

Integrating environmental sustainability into strategic spatial planning : the importance of management
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Journal of Environmental Planning and Management. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0964-0568 .- 1360-0559. ; 62:8, s. 1321-1338

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Strategic spatial planning has been suggested as a means for environmental sustainability. However, there are significant challenges with operationalising and integrating policy-driven strategic spatial planning within the standardised and process-oriented management systems of local authorities. This aspect has motivated discussions on how implementation of strategic spatial planning with a focus on environmental sustainability is conditioned by management systems. The empirical case is local planning and management practices in a local authority in Sweden. Interviews with planners, together with planning and policy documents, make up the empirical material. The analysis proposes that the integration of environmental perspectives into strategic spatial planning processes depends on (i) the overall concerns for environmental issues in local policy, and (ii) how administrative management systems can facilitate transformative practice in planning. In conclusion, this article illustrates how environmental sustainability in strategic spatial planning is formed and conditioned through interplay between local policy and administrative management procedures.

Knowledge dynamics in medical technology

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Knowledge development and innovations in medtech – an institutional and multi-scalar approachBrita HermelinDepartment of Human GeogrpahyStockholm Universitybrita.hermelin@humangeo.su.sePaper to be presentet at AAG, Seattle, April 2011Margareta DahlströmKarlstad Univeristy Lukas SmasStockholm University This paper aims to analyse and understand knowledge development and innovations in medtech. The discussion takes an institutional approach and which claims the importance of institutions for societal structures, processes and changes. Institutions refer to informal and formal elements like cultures, social routines, political regulations, the market, firms, the government and other political bodies. Institutional settings are influencing agency and the ability and propensity to, for instance, manage projects to develop new knowledge and innovations for medtech products and solutions.Our empirical case is the developments of innovations and knowledge in medtech in Stockholm, Sweden. We are using interview data from organisations and firms and different secondary sources. In this paper we illustrate how knowledge development and innovations in medtech are situated in a rapidly changing institutional setting. Commercial goals and goals to develop knowledge and new innovations are widely established and the geographical relations are extending to include transnational and global environments. These objectives and geographical mindset are guiding for health care organisations including hospitals, research organisations including the universities, regional development agencies and private companies.We are able to illustrate how innovation and knowledge development in medtech are derived through network organisations that integrate different knowledge resources and capacities and that the institutional settings are absolutely fundamental for the ability and propensity for such creative networks to develop and take form. These networks for knowledge development may be multi-local and transnational and thereby connecting partners from different geographical settings. Key words: medtech, innovations, institutional approach, Stockholm, Sweden.

Knowledge Dynamics in the Stockholm Region : A study of KIBS, ICT and Medtech
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This report discusses aspects of the transformation of the economy in the wake of thedevelopment of information and communication technology (ICT) using a case study ofStockholm. This study is conducted as a part of a Nordic research project titled ‘RegionalTrajectories to the Knowledge Economy—Nordic-European Comparisons’ (REKENE).REKENE involves seven regional teams from Sweden, Denmark, Finland and Iceland, witheach team made up of both researchers and practitioners.The objective of REKENE and the Stockholm case study is to identify activities and processesthat generate knowledge development and innovations. REKENE involves a conceptualframework, which particularly stresses the concepts of knowledge dynamics, of different typesof knowledge, gender aspects, multilocal networks and the processes of anchoring resources tothe region.The different regional teams in REKENE study different industrial sectors. For Stockholm, ourpoint of departure is knowledge-intensive business services (KIBS) with a particular focus oncomputer services/ICT expertise and medical technicians and technologists (medtech).The report describes the development of knowledge from the point of departure from a smallfirm engaged in medtech. This description illustrates how interactions between sectors andknowledge domains are distinctive for KIBS, wherein firms work closely with their clients andusually adopt the roles of co-creators and co-producers. Important developments are thengenerated through composite knowledge whereby policies may facilitate the integration of arange of competencies, skills and experiences in networks. Indeed, it is difficult to discern anyouter boundary delimiting the skills that are most relevant for the development of ICTapplications. Although the establishment of strong relationships among local actors in theStockholm region is an important resource for knowledge dynamics to be effective, widerinternational connections are needed for sustainable development.
