In light of much previous research concerning growing urbanisation and the view that humans and nature by definition are separate phenomena, this research operates on the assumption that this view is not beneficial for creating a more harmonious relationship between humans, society and nature.

In recent years there has been a rising trend to develop urban areas to become more sustainable, as an answer to the ongoing climate crisis. However, studies show that labelling the city as sustainable and green may cause equity issues and may lead to what is called green gentrification. This thesis explores the power that actors involved in the process of planning the sustainable city hold. Speci

Investeringar i transportinfrastruktur medför normalt bättre tillgänglighet, bättre läge, eventuellt ökad byggrätt och en ökning av värdet på de fastigheter som är belägna i närheten av den infrastruktur som anläggs. Värdeökningar som uppstår till följd av offentliga investeringar bör genom värdeåterföring ges tillbaka till det offentliga. En värdeåterföringsmetod är medfinansieringsersättning somInvestments in infrastructure normally lead to better accessibility, a better location, increased building rights and an increase in the value of the properties that are located near to the infrastructure.
