The purpose of this study is to explain the development of the first higher technical education in Trollhättan, with the added perspective of Trollhättans strong industrial profile as a city. The interesting thing being that the city did not try to first and foremost get a regular higher education, but a technical higher education instead. The study describes the political twists and turns the question took from its most early stage in the year 1940 and how the city's industrial profile did indeed have an impact on the development of the first higher technical education. Especially because there was a need for educated engineers in the city, as well as the country of Sweden in large during this time. The study also tries to explain the problems related to such a development, primarily by describing the lack of sufficient housing for schools during the 1950's, this meant that the higher regular school and the higher technical school had to cooperate in finding said housing. To put the study in context a brief summary of the educational system in large, Trollhättan as an industrial city during the 1940's and 1950's as well as Trollhättans educational system besides higher education, is also included. The resulting study has mostly been achieved by studying relevant sources in Trollhättans city-archives as well as the local paper ”Trollhättans tidning” during the relevant years 1956, 1958 and 1959.

Examensarbetet undersöker Borlänge kommuns kulturarv och analyserar detta genom authorized heritage discourse. I arbetet studeras kommunala planeringsdokument så som översiktsplan och kulturmiljöplan samt den digitala besöksguiden Visit Dalarna och Borlänges kommuns respons på utnämningen till Sveriges fulaste stad. Undersökningen visar att kulturarvet har en liten roll i kommunens planeringsdokument och att det både i dessa och i besöksnäringen primärt är äldre och mer traditionella arv som är utvalt. Detta beror troligtvis på att staden, bland annat till följd av dess unga ålder, inte värdesätter mer samtida miljöer som kulturarv och ser kulturarvet som en tillgång i regional utveckling samt att besöksnäringen väljer ut kulturarv som ska tilltala nationell och internationell turism vilket resulterar i kulturarv som resonerar mer med den kollektiva identiteten Dalarna mer än den lokala säregna identiteten. / The thesis examines Borlänge municipality's cultural heritage and analyzes it through the authorized heritage discourse. By studying municipal planning documents as well as the digital visitors guide Visit Dalarna and Borlänge municipality's response to the designation as Sweden's ugliest city, the thesis shows that cultural heritage has a small role in the municipality's planning documents and that both in these and in the tourismindustry it is primarily older and more traditional heritage that is selected. This is probably due to the fact that the city does not value more contemporary environments as cultural heritage and that the city do not see cultural heritage as an asset in regional development. The tourism industry selects cultural heritage that should appeal to national and international tourism, which results in cultural heritage that resonates more with the collective identity Dalarna more than the local identity.
