This paper aims to study different aspects of visions for environmentally sustainable urban planning in Lund (Sweden). Questions are raised to examine which visions that are most prominent. This is answered by conducting a qualitative document analysis on policy documents for future planning in Lund and by discussing the findings against environmental sustainability and Sweden's goals for sustainable cities. The study also aims to go deeper in visions for the planning of urban greenspaces and what aspects that can affect this both negatively and positively. This is done by interviewing workers at Lund municipality and by relating the answers to previous research about challenges in planning for urban greenspaces.

The analysis conclude that the national goals are represented in the local context that is studied. It also concludes that many of these are connected to the urban greenspaces and the theory presented about environmental sustainability. The findings about what affects the planning process for urban greenspaces are mostly linked to the vagueness in the values of the urban greenery and are enhanced by the process of urban infill. Furthermore, the findings show that policy documents, sustainability goals and cooperation is helpful in motivating the green values and to overcome these problems. (Less)
