Projecting Urban Natures is a compilation thesis in critical studies in architecture. It comprises three journal articles and four design proposals in which I have taken an active part. The point of departure for this thesis is the renewed emphasis on social-ecological interaction and resilience that is currently taking place within ecological systems science, and the opportunities that these paradigmatic insights in turn have opened up within urbanism and design. The thesis argues that although they are promising, these emerging integrative frameworks are seldom brought into mainstream planning and urban design practice. Instead, the structuring of “nature” and “city” into a dualistic balance relationship still permeates not only the general planning discourse, but also makes its way into planning documents, notably influencing distinctions between professions. In response, this thesis sets out to rethink and explore more integrated approaches to human/nature relationships, through the utilization of design-based and transdisciplinary research methods. While this core aim of the thesis remains the same throughout the work, the task is approached from different perspectives: through different constellations of collaborative work as well as through parallel case-based explorations that emphasize the relational, anti-essentialist and situated articulation of values of urban natures and how these forces come into play. The work has been propelled through workshop-based, site-specific, and experimental design processes with professionals and researchers from the fields of e.g. systems ecology, natural resource management, political ecology, urban design, architecture, and landscape design, as well as planners, developers, local interest groups, and NGOs. Specifically, projects performed within this thesis include: Nature as an Infrastructural Potential – An Urban Strategy for Järvafältet; Kymlinge UrbanNatur together with NOD, Wingårdhs, MUST and Storylab; Årsta Urban Natures with James Corner Field Operations and Buro Happold; and Albano Resilient Campus — a collaboration between Stockholm Resilience Centre, KTH and KIT. / <p>QC 20171102</p>

Denna uppsats har skapats för att agera underlag vid framtagandet av en strukturskiss över fastigheten Nya Jägersro i Malmö. Uppsatsen syftar till att skapa ett planeringskoncept som kombinerar social och ekologisk hållbarhet genom att ta hänsyn till platsens specifika egenskaper. Både kommunen och fastighetsägaren, de två mest inflytelserika aktörerna för fastigheten, lägger stort fokus på hållbar utveckling. Uppsatsens frågeställningar baseras i två problematiker. Den första är fastighetsägarens separation av hållbarhetsaspekter som genom resonemanget om att hållbarhet skapas genom interaktioner mellan hållbarhetsaspekter kan bli problematisk. Den andra är hur Nya Jägersro som plats påverkas av ideal om förtätning i syfte att bygga hållbart. För att adressera dessa problem är uppsatsens syfte att ta fram ett planeringskoncept som kombinerar social och ekologisk hållbarhet och som tar hänsyn till platsens specifika egenskaper. Det teoretiska ramverket består av tre teorier som behandlar hållbar platsspecifik planering och design för att utveckla hållbara städer. De metoder av datainsamling som har använts är platsläsning, litteraturstudier och semistrukturerade intervjuer. Planeringskonceptet som slutligen presenteras benämns som JägersGro, vilket sammanfaller i flera avseenden med SMT:s och Malmö Stads agendor, men avviker delvis i vissa aspekter. Den största avvikande faktorn i relation till SMT är att JägersGro utgår från att hållbarhet utgörs av kombinationen mellan olika hållbarhetssystem. Ytterligare en avvikande faktor från båda aktörerna är att JägersGro förespråkar idén om att människans påverkan på de naturliga systemen inte enbart bör reduceras. Istället anses hållbara stadsdelar behöva vara med i återskapande processer för att kunna fungera i ett balanserat kretslopp med naturen. / This thesis has been created to act as a basis for the preparation of a structural sketch of the property Nya Jägersro in Malmö. The thesis aims to create a planning concept that combines social and ecological sustainability by taking into account the specific characteristics of the site. Both the municipality and the property owner, the two most influential stakeholders, place great focus on sustainable development. The thesis examines two problems. The first is the property owner's separation of sustainability aspects, which through the reasoning that sustainability is created through interactions between different sustainability aspects can become problematic. The second is how Nya Jägersro as a place is affected by ideals of densification in order to build sustainably. To address these problems the purpose of the thesis is to develop a planning concept that combines social and ecological sustainability by taking into account the specific characteristics of the site. The theoretical framework consists of three theories that deal with sustainable site-specific planning and design for developing sustainable cities. The methods of data collection that have been used are site reading, literature studies and semi-structured interviews. The planning concept that is finally presented is referred to as JägersGro, which coincides in several respects with SMT's and Malmö Stad's agendas, but also deviates in some aspects. The biggest deviating factor in relation to SMT is that JägersGro assumes that sustainability consists of the combination of different sustainability systems. Another deviating factor from both actors is that JägersGro advocates the idea that the human impact on the natural systems should not only be reduced. Instead, sustainable districts are considered to be involved in regenerative processes in order to function in a balanced cycle with nature.

Denna uppsats har skapats för att agera underlag vid framtagandet av en strukturskiss över fastigheten Nya Jägersro, som ligger i den sydöstra delen av Malmö. Uppsatsen syftar till att skapa ett designkoncept som kombinerar social och ekologisk hållbarhet, för att utforska en förändrad syn på hur en plats blir ekologiskt hållbar, detta utan att förbise platsens kvaliteter. Uppsatsens frågeställningar adresserar två problem. Den första är hur dagens stadsplanering väljer att förtäta städer baserat på stadsideal i syfte att bygga hållbart. Den andra ligger i syn på vad anses som göra en stad ekologiskt hållbar. För att adressera dessa problem är uppsatsens syfte att ta fram ett designkoncept som kombinerar social och ekologisk hållbarhet och som tar hänsyn till platsens specifika kvaliteter. Teorin baseras på begreppen Ekologisk urbanism och R-urbanitet, som båda eftersträvar hållbara städer, tillsammans med kompletterande teoretiska byggstenar som fungerar som bryggan mellan teori och verklighet. Arbetet använder sig av två metoder, en kvalitativ- och en design-tänk metod. De metoder av datainsamling som har använts är platsundersökning, litteraturstudier och semistrukturerade intervjuer. Designkonceptet som slutligen presenteras består av ett alternativt sätt att designa städer. Verktygen till detta alternativ har funnits genom design-tänkande som kompletterande metod, där de teoretiska byggstenarna tillsammans kunnat skapa en ständigt förändrande process som skapar en hållbar stadsdel med ett hållbart levnadssätt i fokus. I framtiden kan designkonceptet hjälpa till att uppnå en mer ekologiskt hållbar stad, som tar sig an alla aspekter i staden vilket kan göra staden helt ekologiskt hållbar istället för delvis miljövänlig. Detta sammanfaller i flera avseenden med SMT:s och Malmö Stads agendor, men avviker delvis i vissa aspekter. Den största avvikande faktorn i relation till SMT Malmö Partner Holding AB (MKB Fastighets AB, Skanska Sverige AB och Tornet Bostadsproduktion AB) är att ‘Nya Jägersro’ enligt det förslag som presenteras i uppsatsen inte föreslås lika tätbebyggt som SMT eftersträvar. Det som uppsatsen argumenterar för är ett förslag som är formad efter Jägersros plastkvaliteter som en plats mellan stad och landsbygd. / This thesis has been made to act as the basis for the development of a structural sketch over the estate, Nya Jägersro, in the southeastern part of Malmö. The thesis seeks to create a design concept that combines social and ecological sustainability and to explore a changed view of how a site becomes ecologically sustainable without overlooking the site's qualities. The thesis questions are based on two problems. The first one is how today's city planning chooses to densify cities based on ideals to build sustainably. The second one is the view of what is sustainable. To address these problems the thesis purpose is to produce a design concept that combines social and ecological sustainability and takes the site's specified qualities into consideration. The theory consists of the concept’s Ecological urbanism and the R-urban, both striving for sustainable development and complemented by theoretical building blocks which work as the bridge between theory and reality. The method used in this thesis is a qualitative method combined with design-thinking. The used methods for information gathering are site observation, literary studies, and semi-structured interviews. The proposed design concept builds on an alternative way to design cities. The tools used for this alternative way of designing have been developed through design-thinking as a complementing method where the theoretical building blocks, together, creates a continuously transformative process that aim to create sustainable neighborhoods with a focus on a more sustainable way of life. The design concept seek to help realizing a more ecological city in practice, that takes on all aspects of the city which can make the city ecological instead of just environmentally friendly. The design concepts, thus align with SMT:s and Malmö Stads agendas, but differs in some aspects. The largest differentiating factor is the view on how dense Nya Jägersro should be built, and how the site´s urban and rural qualities can be taken as a point of departure for designing the new built environment.
