Profession: Landscape architect (Dep. of Landscape Planning / Swedish

University of Agricultural Sciences, Uppsala, Sweden)

Employment: Freelance (from 1st jan 2003 Phd student at the School of

Architecture / Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm, Sweden)

Background for WG 1A Human Issues: At the Stockholm City Planning

Administration I developed the "sociotop" concept for mapping peoples use

and experience of public open space in an urban context. The "sociotop-maps"

collect common evaluations of public places and is a product of a dialogue

with the local public. It is an instrument to integrate the everyday life

qualities of children, youths, adults and old people into the "hard fact"

city planning.

Background for WG 2 Policies: I have worked with developing the new policies

for the green structure planning and maintenance for Stockholm municipality,

a "park-program". I have also participated in two major city-planning

projects, where I performed analyses on the supply and accessibility of

green space and life qualities on the basis of the policies. I have also

developed a park-plan (green structure-plan) on the protection, development

and maintenance of parks and green structure in an inner city district in

Stockholm. One interesting conclusion is that the dense parts of the city

district (admired by the "urbanist" architects) have a good supply of green

space and qualities, due to a good city (green) planning (structure).
