Att marknadsföra grönska : en studie om klimatanpassning och place branding i stadsförnyelseprojektet Nyhamnen
(2020) SGEL36 20201Department of Human Geography
- Abstract
- By revitalizing the port area beyond the central station with the green urban renewal project Nyhamnen, the city of Malmö continues their development towards the ’knowledge city’. The need to plan for future extreme precipitation events is present in Malmö as the city has experienced several floods recently. This thesis aims to understand how green place branding and Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) are used in the planning of Nyhamnen and how the concepts could cooperate. The theoretical framework is thus based on green place branding and EbA together with relevant context on place branding and ecosystem services. The planning of Nyhamnen was analysed through a qualitative document analysis to identify how the theoretical concepts exist... (More)
- By revitalizing the port area beyond the central station with the green urban renewal project Nyhamnen, the city of Malmö continues their development towards the ’knowledge city’. The need to plan for future extreme precipitation events is present in Malmö as the city has experienced several floods recently. This thesis aims to understand how green place branding and Ecosystem-based Adaptation (EbA) are used in the planning of Nyhamnen and how the concepts could cooperate. The theoretical framework is thus based on green place branding and EbA together with relevant context on place branding and ecosystem services. The planning of Nyhamnen was analysed through a qualitative document analysis to identify how the theoretical concepts exist in the planning. The analysis shows that it is possible to identify both EbA and green place branding in Nyhamnen. EbA is most commonly identified as adapting to extreme precipitation events while green place branding is recognized through three themes: creating an attractive place, green identity, and green innovations. The concepts cooperate mostly through utilizing greenery for adapting and increasing the attractiveness of the place. There is however potential for the concepts to counteract following the ambition for ecosystem services to create attractiveness while adapting to climate risks. (Less)
