Idag pågår en omfattande urbanisering, och utifrån rådande hållbara stadsutvecklingsideal är den täta blandstaden eftersträvansvärd. Detta skapar konkurrens om stadens mark. Många barn växer upp i staden men barnperspektivet ges ett begränsat utrymme i planeringen av den byggda miljön. Över tid har olika mycket hänsyn tagits till barnperspektivet, exempelvis gavs barnperspektivet stort utrymme under efterkrigstidens stadsplanering och bostadsbyggande, idag hänvisas barn oftare till specifika ytor och kan inte ta del av hela staden. Frågan om vem som ges rätten till stadens offentliga rum blir därmed relevant. Studien belyser problematiken utifrån framförallt två teorier; The right to the city (Harvey, 2008; Mitchell, 2003) och genom en vidareutveckling av miljöpsykologiska begreppet affordances (Kyttä, 2003). De två perspektiven har möjliggjort en analys på ett strukturellt plan såväl som i en mer detaljerad skala. Studien består av en fallstudie med fokus på tre offentliga rum i Hyllie, en skolgård med en angränsande park, ett stationstorg och ett bostadsområde. Det empiriska materialet har samlats in genomintervjuer och en dokumentanalys. Fokus ligger på hur barnperspektivet beaktas i planeringen idag och på hur detta perspektiv kan vidareutvecklas för att skapa barnvänliga urbana miljöer. Resultatet visar att rekreations- och lekytor, är för få, för små eller för tillrättalagda och att det planeras för en hög grad av biltrafikalstrande verksamheter i området. Slutsatsen är att barns rörelsefrihet kommer att begränsas i Hyllie, om så inte ska ske är föräldrarnas resurser avgörande samt är det nödvändigt med en medveten planeringsstrategi om denna utveckling ska kunna vändas., In today’s western societies an ongoing urbanization is taking place simultaneously as the dense mixed city is desirable based on current sustainable urban development ideals. This leads to a competition of space in the city. Many children in Sweden grow up in cities today. However, the child's perspective is given a limited focus in the planning of urban environments. Over time, varying degree of the child’s perspective has been taken into account. The child’s perspective was given great consideration during post-war urban planning. Today children are directed to specific areas and have limited access to the city as a whole. The question of who is given the right to public spaces is therefore relevant. The thesis highlights the problem on basis of two main theories; "The Right to the City" (Harvey, 2008; Mitchell, 2003) and through further development of environmental psychology concept "affordances" (Kyttä, 2003). The two perspectives enable an analysis on a structural level as well as in micro scale. A case study is conducted focusing on three public spaces in Hyllie, a schoolyard with an adjacent park, a station square and a residential area. The study focuses on how the child’s perspective is used in planning today and how the perspective can be developed further to creates child-friendly urban environments. Through interviews and document analysis, conclusions have been drawn about the planning of Hyllie from the child's perspective. The result indicates that recreation- and playground areas are too small, too few or too well designed and that the detail plans enables a high degree of traffic evoking activities. The conclusions are that the child's freedom of movement will be limited in Hyllie, if not to happen, it is crucial parental resources and it is necessary with a conscious planning strategy if the trend is to be turned.

The aim of this essay is to examine the motives behind the exploitation of the highly rated arable land in Hyllie, Malmö, seen from the perspectives of the County Administrative Board of Skåne (länsstyrelsen) and the municipality of Malmö. The essay also examines what measures have been taken or considered by the municipality to compensate the loss of arable land.This is a highly relevant topic considering the urban sprawl that takes place in Skåne today and how agricultural land tends to disappear as a result of this exploitation. This exploitation of agricultural land cannot be seen as sustainable development since the agricultural land in Sweden is limited and of great interest to preserve for the national production of food and energy. The study's geographical focus will be in Malmö and Skåne with the exploitation of Hyllie as a case study.The essay will focus on what motives and values are behind such exploitation. Considering the Skåne region's desire to keep the town centres dense and counteract the current urban sprawl, I believe a discussion of the motives is necessary. The discussion will also consider how arable land is perceived not only through laws and restrictions but also how it is treated by different stakeholders in practice.The analysis of the essay will result in a discussion of the possibilities of sustainably compensate for the loss of food- and energy production. Since compensation can be considered as a method to reduce the exploitation of agricultural land, my theoretical angle of this essay will consist of theories related to the strategy, such as the principles of balance. The strategy of compensation is an up-to-date topic that gives an interesting perspective on today’s development. The method is still on the investigation state and new to practice in Sweden but as a theoretical point a view it provides a deeper discussion to my topic.This essay is also based on interviews and literature that primarily point out the need of a new perspec

Hyllie, a large scaled urban development project in the Southern of Malmö, hopes to contribute to Malmö Municipality’s goal to be the worlds greatest in sustainable development year of 2020. The city of Malmö together with 20-something developers are building at the urban development area and by now the area is full of large scaled buildings and the pile of construction permits for a new modern bathhouse and offices, cultural centers, hotels and thousands of homes are constantly increasing. Just because of all the large-scale investments in this area, I examine the cultural aspects of urban planning in Hyllie in this paper. By studying the struggle for meaning and how it is negotiated between the municipality and commercial entities through a cultural analysis tool build mostly with geographer David Harvey’s theories about a transformation in urban governance from managerialism to entrepreneurialism, I come to the conclusion that the city of Malmö is leaning towards a planning strategies where the focus is on economic growth. As the post-industrial society is highly digitalized offering constant access to information I also look at how the media reports on the creation of meaning in new Hyllie. A transformation is revealed, showing that media year after year becomes less critical and even starts to contribute to the image of Hyllie as the city of Malmö and developers want.
