Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka hur den offentliga platsen beskrivs i plan- och styrdokument samt undersöka hur den används i verkligheten. För att ta reda på detta har Uppsala kommuns stadskärna använts som exempel, och i studien har en dokumentanalys av plan- och styrdokument som framtagits av Uppsala kommun genomförts. Utöver dokumentanalysen som metod har komplementerande fältobservationer av tre stycken gallerior i Uppsalas stadskärna utförts. Anledningen till att gallerior valts som studieobjekt är att den offentliga platsen alltmer kommit att innebära en kommersialiserad plats. Detta tillsammans med den nyliberala planeringens inflytande och teorin om en ny form av platser – pseudo-offentliga platser. Slutsatsen som dras av dokumentanalysen och de komplementerande fältobservationerna är att de teoretiska begreppen om rätten till staden och nyliberal planering kan ibland förefalla vara kontrasterande visar ändå undersökningen att begreppet om rätten till staden både finns representerat i den faktiska användningen av galleriorna då människor använder gallerior på andra sätt än för att ägna sig åt konsumtion samt går att urskilja vid analys av Uppsala kommuns plan- och styrdokument. Samma sak gäller begreppet nyliberal planering, i plan- och styrdokumenten finns det avsnitt som tydligt visar på hur planeringen influerats av nyliberalismen.

Abstract In this essay, it is investigated whether West Harbour, in Malmö, has the greenery to fulfill the goals and visions needed to be able to be said to be an ecological district today. An increasing proportion of people have moved to the city, which means major ecological challenges for the city and the ecology in general. Ecological urban planning can be a tool to curb these problems. In previous research from the National Board of Housing, Building and Planning and an essay from previous students they have looked further at what it is like to plan urban from an ecological concept in different cities. In this essay the theory from Mostafavi och Doherty (2016) which talks about planning ecologically. Diedrich (2013) writes about using tools to analyze the “site”. During the interviews, the five informants shared their knowledge of the ecological development theme at “Västra hamnen” and gave a closer insight into the property in front of the building itself and its surroundings. The four themes were compiled in this essay which concerns the need for parks, ecological development, green areas and green oases and climate change - elevated sea levels.   In need of parks, it emerged that there was a shortage of parks in the Western Harbor. In ecological development, the city of Malmö wants to test a new environment at Dockan's harbor basin, the concept of park islands. Green spaces and green oases are, there are results about open spaces on the property Fören 3 - Turning Torso as it can open discussions to expand green in the physical space offered. Climate change - elevated sea levels that can challenge the future of housing and security.  The assignment is about the accommodation’s future safety and current elevated sea level.     The interviews and field observations gave a closer insight into what it is to visit, see, hear, feel, smell, and based on the ecological conditions, the Western Harbor is experienced with its own senses. It also gave me abstract thoughts on what it would be like to shape a place and in the physical space. From a blank sheet of paper to filling it with colors, to shape an attractive concept and design for the benefit of the public. Finally, a solution proposal will be presented in the concept of “Parc in the Water” on the West Harbour.   Keywords: ecology, field observation, greenery, park, park islands, site / <p>Presentationen ägde rum på zoom meeting. </p><p>Samtliga publikationer närvarade på presentationen med en Powerpoint. </p>
