Uppsatsen studerar utvecklingsorsakad tvångsförflyttning för projektet Integrated Hous

I dagens postindustriella och globaliserade planering kan man i litteratur urskilja två dominerande planeringsteorier vilka står i kontrast mot varandra, nyliberal respektive kommunikativ planeringsteori. Den nyliberala planeringsteorin utgår från en stark tro på den fria marknaden där ett decentraliserat och effektivt styre skapar planerade lösningar som gagnar den ekonomiska tillväxten, där väls
In this study, I suggest that freegan practices can be studied in relation to primitivism––a cultural strategy that advocates a return to nature, or alternatively, a return to a more ‘wild’ state of being. Individuals known as freegans are primarily young westerners who choose to fulfill their needs––be it sustenance, desire, or other essential services––without participating in the formal economy
