Abstract
Urbanization and densification are two noticeable trends that imposes many challenges for urban planners. Fast growing cities comes with the need for incorporating publicly accessible green spaces to ensure public health and for creating an attractive city. Urban regeneration provides the possibilities of restructuring the urban environment according to desired needs. Helsingborg municipality did, in 2017, initiate one of the biggest renewal projects recorded in the municipality´s history. The H+ project, even though in an early stage, makes up a good example of how resource efficiency is growing in importance. Making the most out of limited resources implies demand for well-suiting planning strategies to base decisions on. Tools and... (More)
Urbanization and densification are two noticeable trends that imposes many challenges for urban planners. Fast growing cities comes with the need for incorporating publicly accessible green spaces to ensure public health and for creating an attractive city. Urban regeneration provides the possibilities of restructuring the urban environment according to desired needs. Helsingborg municipality did, in 2017, initiate one of the biggest renewal projects recorded in the municipality´s history. The H+ project, even though in an early stage, makes up a good example of how resource efficiency is growing in importance. Making the most out of limited resources implies demand for well-suiting planning strategies to base decisions on. Tools and methods for achieving this could be found in geographic information systems (GIS). More specifically for this study, the practicality of using multi criteria evaluation (MCE) for decision making is examined. In addition, an MCE is applied to find potentially suitable locations for new public green space within the H+ project area. (Less)
