- Abstract
- What role does the place a person lives have for their living conditions? According to the former Swedish Delegation Against Segregation (Delmos), an individual's place of upbringing may be of large importance for their future educational level, employment, income, and form of accommodation. Delmos' annual report of 2021 shows that Sweden is becoming increasingly segregated. Among the three major cities of Sweden, Malmö is the most segregated.

- What role does the place a person lives have for their living conditions? According to the former Swedish Delegation Against Segregation (Delmos), an individual's place of upbringing may be of large importance for their future educational level, employment, income, and form of accommodation. Delmos' annual report of 2021 shows that Sweden is becoming increasingly segregated. Among the three major cities of Sweden, Malmö is the most segregated. The purpose of this essay is to examine how Swedish municipalities of modern time plan for socially sustainable residential areas – in this example the new neighbourhood Hyllie in Malmö. The aim is more precisely to create a deeper understanding for how new areas are being built with an ambition to reduce residential segregation. This is achieved through the identification of three indications of social sustainability in official planning documents, being housing with different forms of tenure, social contact areas and safety-creating measures. The analysis of the planning documents are supplemented by semi-structured interviews with two municipal employees working at Malmö city planning office, which have been involved in the production of the documents analysed. The concluding results and findings of this study are that the municipality of Malmö emphasises the importance of mixing different tenant types within residential areas. However, it is due to the Swedish planning and building law intrinsically without the municipality's authority. Further, both social contact areas and safety are stated to be achieved through building a dense, mixed city. Since Hyllie is such a new neighbourhood it is hard to yet tell whether Malmö municipality has succeeded. (Less)
