“…In this case, we have organised and participated in two mobile lab processes related to Malmo's decarbonisation pathway (April 2014, November 2017) associated with two different research collaborations that have engaged with this casestudy (details provided in the acknowledgements). Our intention is not to provide a detailed account of the ways in which decarbonisation has emerged and been contested in Malmo (for excellent accounts, see Madureira 2013;Lenhart et al 2014;Holgersen and Malm 2015). Rather, we seek to use the case-study to explore how the three dynamics of legibility, demonstration and agreement, which our conceptualisation of decarbonisation pathways suggest may be vital forms of work undertaken, are more or less present in this instance.…”

“…Here, two of the four main goals are that Malmö should be Sweden's most climate friendly city and that it should be easy to do the right thing in Malmö. Madureira (2013), in her close examination of the process, argues that through the invoking of a sustainability discourse a new urban aesthetic were able to be advanced. However, in contrast to common sustainability practice, the Bo01 did not involve a wider residential community in the process.…”

Towards a material politics of socio-technical transitions: Navigating decarbonisation pathways in Malmö

As the politics of climate change shift from the design of international institutions to the pursuit of decarbonisation across multiple sites, researchers are increasingly calling attention to the geography and politics of transitions. We suggest that recent work has so far been limited by its rather incongruous focus on power as a capacity held by individual agents on the basis of the resources which they command, such that the material and relational aspects of socio-technical systems and their dynamics are neglected. In this paper, we bring critical political geographical perspectives to bear on the question of the politics of decarbonisation. Recasting decarbonisation as a matter of political geography then opens up questions of its socio-spatial configuration, its indeterminate and provisional nature as well as the ways in which decarbonisation politics are socio-materially constituted. In Malmö, a city renowned for its attempts to direct urban development towards low carbon futures, we find that decarbonisation is enacted through practices of legibility, demonstration and agreement. These serve to navigate particular junctures and form new socio-material connections and realignments between carbon, capital and infrastructure. We suggest that pathways to decarbonisation are not going to be created by any kind of linear blueprint but through processes that allow them to realign and reorder socio-material relations in new sites and domains across the urban fabric.

“…On the other hand, scholars also have reported variations in the role of the public sector in the new entrepreneurial governance (Atkinson, Tallon and Williams 2019; Chapin 2002; Madureira 2014; Tasan-Kok 2010). For example, Brian Doucet's analysis (2013) of the Rotterdam's Kop van Zuid and Glasgow Harbour waterfront suggests that when UDPs have robust public sector leadership, goals beyond economic development were accomplished.…”

Taking Stock of What We Know About Large-Scale Urban Development Projects: A Review of Existing Theoretical Frameworks and Case Studies

Despite the wealth of academic research on large-scale urban developments, a comprehensive meta-analysis of the literature is yet to exist. On the one hand, theories on urban change and development have offered useful frameworks for explaining the processes and outcomes of large-scale developments. On the other hand, in-depth case studies have provided profound insights into specific examples. Nevertheless, how the case studies relate to the theoretical debates is unclear. In response, this article undertakes a systematic review of the theories and case studies on large-scale developments and identifies the multitude of ways in which case studies relate to theories.

“…Jönsson and Holgersen 2017). Mafalda Madureira (2014) also points to the emphasis on the city as a brand and how visible forms of 'good' urban form can be important in establishing this brand. Some analysts also see the development of spectacular large-scale urban projects as a further manifestation of the neoliberalisation of urban planning in Malmö, in which Swedish modernist planning practices have been reworked to serve the elites rather than to counter social inequality (Baeten 2012;Holgersen 2014).…”

Malmö, in southern Sweden, has been notable for how it has changed in recent decades and how new patterns of urban development have emerged which have been lauded as sustainable. Attention has particularly focused on the more spectacular developments such as the regeneration of the Western Harbour, and the development of Hyllie, a major transport interchange and new commercial centre alongside residential development. The focus of this paper is away from these major developments and instead looks at Norra Sorgenfri, a former industrial site, presented as a new form of sustainable urban development that moves away from the spectacular and focuses on everyday life. Here we analyse the representations of the city and urban living that are constituted by the planning vision for Norra Sorgenfri and particularly consider the role that urban forms are attributed within this vision.Our analysis highlights the ideas and representations of sustainable urban development with a focus on social sustainability and situates them within the existing literature looking at representations of urban development and urban sustainability within Malmö.
