The purpose of our study is to investigate and understand the stories of one of the largest infrastructure projects to date in southern Sweden, the Öresund Metro. We want to understand how different public actors, in different scales of decision making, influence how we see and understand the Öresund Metro. By doing this, we hoped to create knowledge about relations and the balance of power between the mentioned public actors. How is the story of the potential project told and why? What is the goal for the different narrators? To understand these goals and connections, we also need to present and interpret the Swedish regionalization process, which has been studied within a collection of theoretical concepts that have been analyzed. Interviews and document studies are conducted to create knowledge about the three selected public actors' lines of argument around the Öresund Metro. The result of the studies is that there is a basic consensus between the public actors regarding the development and the theoretical aspect, but that there are contradictions between the visions and goals of different actors. We observed that there are also structural problems in how the planning process should be carried out in a smooth manner.
