The research approach was qualitative and a case study worked as the method. The materials that have been used and examined are planning documents from the municipality in Lund and interviews with two officials at the planning office.

Also, political obstacles together with the confusion of social sustainability as a concept makes it complicated. However, the result of the study shows that officials at the urban planning office are well aware of the obstacles and many aspects of social sustainability. (Less)
