Social Transformations in Scandinavian Cities : Nordic Perspectives on Urban Marginalisation and Social Sustainability
- 2015
-
Editorial collection (other academic/artistic)abstract
- De skandinaviska länderna förknippas som regel med en utbyggd offentlig sektor och låga fattigdomsnivåer. Under de tre senaste årtionden har detta dock kommit att förändras, och städer i Skandinavien delar nu många av de problem och utmaningar som vi känner från städer i andra delar av västvärlden. Frågan är hur välfärdsstaterna hanterar dessa globala samhällsomdaningar? I boken Social Transformations in Scandinavian Cities, belyser forskare förändringen av social hållbarhet och socialt sönderfall i skandinaviska städer. De bidrar med teoretiska och empiriska analyser av hur migration, ojämlikhet och boendesegregation formas av nationell och lokal politik, och hur detta återspeglas i det urbana landskapet i Danmark, Norge och Sverige. Författarna utmanar gängse bild av Skandinavien som jämlikt och fridfullt. Arbetslöshet, kriminalitet och undermåliga skolresultat i etniskt och socio-ekonomiskt segregerade bostadsområden är välkända problemområden som sedan 1990-talet bemöts genom urbanpolitiska åtgärder. I boken Social Transformations in Scandinavian Cities kan vi läsa om exempel på hur detta manifesterar sig i ett antal olika Skandinaviska städer.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this article is to develop theory and generate knowledge about the challenges and possibilities of co-producing change in a social housing programme. The purpose of the project was to implement the Housing First philosophy in the social housing programme in the city of Helsingborg, Sweden. The aim was also to create opportunities for service user involvement. Several innovative measures were implemented in order for these changes to occur from autumn 2016 to summer 2017. The social services commissioned a university course on which social workers and their clients studied together on equal terms to create project plans for the further development of their own workplace. A "Future" workshop was held by the researchers with representatives from all the different housing options (the shelter, transitional housing, category housing, Housing First apartments), both clients and social workers. Repeated dialogue meetings were conducted at the different housing options to discuss how service user involvement could be developed and to discover new ways of participation. This article is based on a strengths-based perspective using the theoretical discussions on social traps, as well as the concepts of enabling and entrapping niches. We show the importance of social workers identifying and supporting missing heroes-service users who want to participate and be involved in co-producing change. We also show that if an organisation is not prepared for the initiated changes, there is a risk of disappointment due to awakened expectations that are not fulfilled. Building trust is also an important component to emerge from the material, but we also found that change processes can be initiated that continue and have impact beyond the initial project's goals.
