municipal housing market in sweden. This paper aims to examine how one of these municipal
housing companies, called MKB (Malmö Kommunala Bostadsbolag), have worked with
social sustainability in the 21st century. It does so by analysing the official documents
released by this company regarding how they operate. This analysis will primarily be based
upon a meta-analysis done by Dempsey et al. (2009) about indicators for social sustainability. (Less)
