- Abstract
- Sustainable development and sustainability is nowadays expected to be integrated
in modern city planning and permeate the entire planning process. At the same
time, sustainable development has an inherent vagueness, leading to a great
diversity of interpretations of the meaning of this concept. In this thesis strong
sustainability and ecological modernization are used as two different interpretations
of sustainable development. Using these two interpretations, an analysis of the
current use of the concept of sustainability within the city planning of Malmö is

diversity of interpretations of the meaning of this concept. In this thesis strong
sustainability and ecological modernization are used as two different interpretations

current use of the concept of sustainability within the city planning of Malmö is
performed. The analysis shows that the interpretation of sustainable development in
the city of Malmö can be deduced to ecological modernization and that
sustainability is looked upon as one way to improve the attractiveness of the city.
Investments to increase ecological and social sustainability must be legitimized as
leading to a potential increase in economical sustainability (growth) and the focus
of increasing the sustainability in the city has shifted from ecological aspects to
economical aspects. The role of the planners has also become less authoritarian;
building proprietors are more and more involved in the planning process and the
role of the planner is described more as inspiring to a more sustainable exploitation,
than demanding for one. Current interpretation of sustainability within the city
planning of Malmö enables a planning that is very distant to the more radical
changes in the physical design of the city that the term sustainability could aim for,
with an interpretation more closely related to the ideas behind strong sustainability. (Less)
