What is the relation between densification and social sustainability? This project work examines the impact of densification on social sustainability carried out by municipalities. The impact on social sustainability through involvement of the general public in the decision-making process of densification, will also be looked at. A case study of Lund municipality’s management and control processes is completed through interviewing municipal representatives and a document analysis of the municipal comprehensive plan. To compare the findings, theories of Berghauser Pont et al. (2021) is used. These exhibit municipal comprehensive plans to be more positive about the impact of densification on social sustainability than there is equivalent evidence for in the results of empirical studies. This discrepancy is shown to also exist in Lund municipality. Amartya Sen (2013) freedom oriented theory as contribution of social sustainability and sustainable development is used to analyze the decision making process of densification. The results found in this project work suggest that through empowerment and a change of perspective of man to be competent in decision making, individuals will not only gain more freedom and society be given more healthy individuals, this is the very foundation of sustainable development.
