This has been done through qualitative research where case study has been applied as a method. The study makes use of a theory called city branding as an indicator over what these incentives of the project might be. The result finds that mega-projects like Lynetteholmen tend to address and be designed for the upper classes of society thus driving less socioeconomic strong groups out in the suburbs. The result also displays a desire to market the city in the interest of attracting investment, tourists and new potential inhabitants. (Less)
