This essay examines how urban planners work with the political ambition of creating integration and sustainable development through mixed housing. The essay compares how urban planners have worked in two residential areas/districts, in which both districts have been expansive since the start of the millennium. Although both areas have been expansive, there are otherwise both structural, historical, and cultural differences. The essay thus examines how urban planners work with these different structures. Even though the municipality have the planning monopoly, they are dependent on various actors for the implementation of the political visions and ambitions. In this respect, the private actors are often driven by the market. Hence, the essay examines how the planners work towards the politicians as well as other actors in the implementation. The essay shows that if the municipality has a large landholding in an area, they have also good positions to negotiate with the private actors, even if the planners cannot influence or determine which form of tenure the buildings will have. The essay studies and compare how the urban planners work with implementation in two different districts, in order to investigate if there are any differences between the two. The study shows that, in theory, it seems easier to plan in an area that are built from scratch, but in practice the plans can be easier to implement and realize in an area that are slowly developed over time, because the conditions tend to change over time.
