Malmö, Sweden’s third largest city, is gaining an international reputation for being a creative and environmental conscious city with cutting-edge architecture. At the same time Malmö is infamous for its high levels of poverty and occasional riots. In this thesis I will analyse how the municipal politicians in Malmö — responsible for Malmö’s budget 2022 — formulate social problems in Malmö, as well as the finances they put forward to tackle said problems. My analysis will be guided by Carol Bacchi’s (2010) method What’s the problem represented to be (WPR) as well as perspec- tives of intersectionality and feminist geography. What is particularly interesting in the analysis of the budget’s social sustainability goals is that Malmö has been using the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) and 169 targets in Agenda 2030 as a blueprint for the budget ever since 2015.
