  2. The city of Göteborg Population: 500 000 citizens Total area: 45 000 ha Public green areas: 11 800 ha - Park: 2 800 ha - Nature: 6 000 ha - Water: 3 000 ha 230 sq. m public green area per citizen in Göteborg.

  4. 230 sq. m public green area per citizen in Göteborg provides many opportunities but also many challenges. The opportunities are obvious – good variety, many different possibilities for recreation, green areas close to housing areas, an attractive city environment etc. The challenges involve handling maintenance within a limited budget, providing good place keeping in all areas and to decide which areas are most important and have highest priority. To make best use of the opportunities and to handle the challenges you need solid and accurate policies and tools for park planning and decision making. Green areas in Göteborg

  5. Strategic park programme - outlines strategies for the landscape of Göteborg Sociotope maps for the 21 city districts - describes common everyday life qualities in public green areas Park plans for the 21 city districts - defines objectives and future priorities for the public green areas Park planning in Göteborg

  6. Strategic park programme The park programmeoutlines 5 strategies for the landscape of Göteborg: 1. Identify and enhance the characteristics 2. Make sure that green areas are accessible and withinreach 3. Make sure everyplace is taken care of (=placekeeping) 4. Make places and spaces available for the residents to use 5. Creatediversifiedenvironments

  7. The ”sociotope” concept was invented to complement the accepted concept of the ”biotope” (ecologically defined environment). A sociotope map describes the common everyday life qualities in open space and user preference in 20 different socio-cultural values. The map is created through professional valuation and public dialogue (surveys, interviews etc) Sociotope map

  8. Park plan The park plan for a district analyse the existing open space structure and defines objectives and future priorities. The park plan is based on the strategies in the park programme. Input from local authorities, private partners and the local residents (through the sociotope map) is incorporated in the process. The park plan gives ideas and guidance for future maintenance, development and budget planning.

  9. MP4 pilot projects Two pilot projects in deprived areas in Göteborg – Lövgärdet and Eriksbo. Similar areas in structure – public green areas in the center surrounded by dense apartment buildings. Apartment buildings owned by public and private property owners.The City of Göteborg own the green areas in the center. Identified in sociotope map and park plan as high priority areas with many values. Lövgärdet Eriksbo

  10. The green areas have a strong potential as a meeting place for the local community – play, recreation, sports, other activities etc. By restoring the green areas and adding new functions to them the entire neighborhood will benefit from it. Neglected maintenance (place-keeping) and lack of development (place-making) need to be addressed for residents to fell happy and proud about their neighborhood.
