Projektet, eller som här processen, formar ett narrativ som både är samtida och ger momentum inför det som komma skall. Att använda de verktyg som planeringen erbjuder för att adressera skillnaderna i våra medborgares livsmiljöer kan göra världen bättreoch är en nyckel till integration och hälsa. – Fokus Skärholmen är ett exempel på hur bra det kan bli när flera förvaltningar jobbar med en tydlig ambition och tar med invånarna i lokala dialogprocesser. Det har gett kunskap att peka ut framtidens attraktiva lägen redan i dag och kraft att driva sin vision, säger tf förbundsdirektör Elisabet Elfström." https://arkitekten.se/nyheter/planpriset-till-fokus-skarholmen/ Follow the stories behind the scenes on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/urbanistica.podcast/ #UrbanisticaPodcast is looking for sponsors citylife.mustafa@gmail.com Note !

43.SV. Den ensamma staden - Lina Kumlin
Lina Kumlin arbetar med rådgivning, analyser och strategisk planering kopplat till hållbar stadsutveckling. Lina presenterar kort WSP:s studie om ensamhetsfrågan ur ett stadsbyggnadsperspektiv. Ofrivillig ensamhet är ett växande samhällsproblem som leder till omfattande ohälsa. Vad kan vi som samhällsaktörer göra för att bryta denna utveckling? Hur kan vi utveckla boendeformer och offentliga platser som bättre stödjer möten och gemenskap? Undersökningen, som genomfördes genom en webbenkät under mars 2019 tillsammans med det globala insiktsföretaget CINT, omfattar svar från 1000 respondenter i Sverige med ett representativt urval gällande exempelvis ålder, kön, boendeform och ort. Undersökningen visar att sex av tio (59 procent) av respondenterna ibland eller ofta känner sig ensamma. Av dessa upplever 29 procent att det är ett problem. Undersökningen visar att upplevd ensamhet är vanligast bland unga vuxna (18–34 år) där siffran är hela 78 procent. Den upplevda ensamheten är dessutom större i stadsmiljö än på landsbygden. I våra större städer (Stockholm, Göteborg, Malmö) känner sig 69 procent ofta eller ibland ensamma jämfört med 47 procent på landsbygden. Studien visar också att omvälvande händelser i livet så som flytt till en större stad i samband med studier eller byte av arbete, påverkar den upplevda ensamheten negativt.
