Research project Maps of culture as a strategic tool in urban and regional planning
How can culture and urban planning be integrated, so that culture can be better used as a resource for social development? This project aims to develop those types of processes.
In collaboration with Region Stockholm, the role of maps of cultural amenities of various kind as a strategic tool in urban and regional planning is researched. The study is comparative and is mainly based on interviews with municipalities in the Stockholm region. The overall aim is to develop processes that integrate culture with urban planning in order to make better use of the region’s cultural resources for local and regional development. The results will provide a possibility for evidence-based policy and planning processes, and is in line with both national and regional goals and priorities regarding developing collaborative administrative practices in the field of culture and urban and regional planning.
