The aim of the thesis is to analyze planning bottom-up and top-down, and if these ways can be combined without limitations.

The analysis presents four perspective concerning the role of grassroots in municipality planning: the view on the future of the area, creativity and capital, democracy, participation and agency and depolitisation of the narrative. The conclusion the author is argumenting that the role of grassroots in the Norra Grängesberg gatufest is motivated by economic growth, where white and creative class is desired and where the grassroot organisations of the city are limited in the collaboration with municipality and public private partnerships.
