Abstract
Dette speciale undersøger, hvordan Stockholm kan omstille sig fra en bilbaseret udvikling til mere bæredygtig bymobilitet. Med udgangspunkt i udfordringerne ved hastig urbanisering og stigende privatbilisme analyseres tre centrale planlægningsindsatser: to udviklinger fra Trendsetter-projektet (rene køretøjer og brændstoffer samt trængselsafgiften) og Urban Mobility Strategy 2012 for Stockholm. Specialet kombinerer overgangsteorier (bl.a. multi-level perspective og transition management) med bæredygtig mobilitetsparadigmet i et casestudie, der bygger på dokumentanalyse og interviews med nøgleaktører. Analysen belyser implementeringsdynamikker for innovationer, der bryder med det eksisterende bilbaserede regime, og karakteriserer, hvordan disse praksisser kan forankres i den gældende struktur, samt hvordan regimet modsætter sig forandringer. Uddraget indeholder ikke detaljerede empiriske resultater, men peger på, at kombinationen af politiske virkemidler, teknologiske tiltag og strategisk planlægning er central for overgangen til mere bæredygtig mobilitet i Stockholm.
This thesis explores how Stockholm can move from a car-oriented system toward more sustainable urban mobility. Responding to the pressures of rapid urbanization and growing private car use, it analyzes three planning interventions: two developments from the Trendsetter project (clean vehicles and fuels, and the congestion charge) and Stockholm’s 2012 Urban Mobility Strategy. The study applies transition theories (including the multi-level perspective and transition management) alongside the sustainable mobility paradigm within a case study design, drawing on document analysis and interviews with key stakeholders. It examines the dynamics of implementing innovations that depart from the incumbent car-based regime, characterizing how such practices can become embedded and how the regime resists change. While detailed empirical outcomes are not provided in the excerpt, the work highlights how policy instruments, technological measures, and strategic planning together shape Stockholm’s transition toward more sustainable mobility.
