Published: 02 June 2020
Book cover

In a few days a new book is released that takes a view from practice and offers valuable insights into a difficult line of work whose practice inevitably requires a confrontation with fundamental conflicts between divergent goals, and therefore also demands difficult choices and compromises.

With contributions from leading academics and expert practitioners, this book provides readers with diverse international case studies which highlight and examine the concrete challenges of practicing sustainable urban development. 

Mari Kågström, Researcher at the Department of Urban and Rural Development has contributed with the chapter Hope and despair: professionals’ struggle to navigate multiple planning ideas in a public-private collaboration in Gothenburg.
