Hållbar mobilitet - Är Brunnshög svaret på vår framtid?
(2022) SGEL36 20221Department of Human Geography
- Abstract
- Transportation has a central role in the development of societies and has a significant impact on sustainability. Transportations with cars that are motor driven is the largest contributor to carbon dioxide emissions and is seen as the biggest threat to sustainable mobility. The car is deeply rooted in societies and the urban landscape is largely adapted to the use of this kind of transportation. People and the space they are in forms an emotional relationship, which affects the way people travel. The same way goes with the distance people have to travel, where the longer the distance to travel, the more likely people choose the car as transportation. Different kinds of transportation that are more sustainable have to be accessible,... (More)
- Transportation has a central role in the development of societies and has a significant impact on sustainability. Transportations with cars that are motor driven is the largest contributor to carbon dioxide emissions and is seen as the biggest threat to sustainable mobility. The car is deeply rooted in societies and the urban landscape is largely adapted to the use of this kind of transportation. People and the space they are in forms an emotional relationship, which affects the way people travel. The same way goes with the distance people have to travel, where the longer the distance to travel, the more likely people choose the car as transportation. Different kinds of transportation that are more sustainable have to be accessible, important destinations have to be closer to home for people to choose a more sustainable way to travel and new technology needs to be more viable to promote sustainable mobility. The aim of this research was to analyze how the new district Brunnshög was planned in relation to sustainable mobility and how sustainable transportation was designed in Southern Brunnshög. It was shown that Lund has identified the importance of reducing the use of cars in the area, and wants to combat that by creating availability and good conditions for the use of more sustainable transportation like cycling, walking and public transport and also wants to inform the public about the importance of sustainable mobility. While these measures were in line with sustainable mobility, Lund still planned for the use of cars and even planned to increase the area for cars in preparation for more inhabitants. In Southern Brunnshög the car had a dominant presence, where there existed large parking spaces, roads and signs made for cars. I argued that this is not sustainable in that it will have a symbolic effect on people's choice of transport and that it risks creating longer distances to travel. Space for walking and cycling were not as present as space for cars, but they were mostly adapted for safe traveling. Public transport was present in the area and walking and cycling distances to different places within Southern Brunnshög was perceived as reasonable and are according to the theories and background research good conditions for sustainable mobility.
This work shows that sustainable mobility is mostly taken in consideration in the planning process but that car use still has a dominant presence in practice. (Less)
