Planning for green qualities in the densification of suburban Stockholm opportunities and challenges

• Implementing urban densification projects in planning practice while multaneously providing sufficient green spaces has proven to be allenging. Consequently, there is an increasing need for practical proaches to urban green space management in the on-going densification cities. Therefore, this study was designed to give a better derstanding of current green space management practice in two nicipalities in Stockholm, Sweden, undergoing densification. The allenges identified through interviews with municipal planners were lated to site-specific conditions for densification projects, nflicting interests between involved and affected actors, green ality management issues, and limited use of impact assessment tools. the municipalities, innovative approaches were adopted in efforts to nimize the above challenges, such as collaboration between the velopers and planners, or participatory workshops with the local tizens. This paper explores these challenges and approaches, and makes rther recommendations for improving green space management practice.
