9 The Growth and Regional Planning Administration, Intensifying land use/densification

10 The Growth and Regional Planning Administration, HOW? - 6 examples

11 Growth, Environment and Regional Planning 1 - The Wedge Concept A well known concept The identity - each wedge has a name It is implemented in 26 municipalities land-use plans Large, continuous green zones Green value core and green weak links

12 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering

13 13 Strategies in RUFS 2010 Safeguard and develop the values in the land and water landscape Protect and develop the green wedges and make them more accessible Create an attractive urban environment with squares parks and green areas Develope the values and accessibility of beaches and shorelines

14 The Growth and Regional Planning Administration, Maps, illustrations Green station good accessability from subway, railway and busstations Green links class 1, 2 and 3 Quiet areas Regional hiking tracks Costal path/walkway

15 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering 2 - Green links Week links in a system One large area have more values and better functions than many small areas A need for cooperation between manucipalities

16 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering A report - Green links in the wedges Support the implementation of RUFS 2010 Green wedges established but thretened To increase the knowledge, to give good ideas and to spread information Ecosystem services WHAT, WHEN, WHY AND HOW?

17 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering Strenght week links close to living areas Spridningsöar och ledstrukturer Länk mellan stadsdelar Noder för tillgänglighet

18 Example of implementation of regional strategies on local level The Regional Core of Flemingsberg i Huddinge Municipality

19 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering 3. Evaluation of urban qualities Analysis of the willingness to pay for housing and offices Jessica Andersson Ulrika Palm

20 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering Economic evaluation of urban qualities for single family homes Variables affecting the purchase price Change in condition Change in price (SEK/house) Work places that can be reached within 30 minutes by public transport Work places that can be reached within 30 minutes by car Public transport station (rail) within 700 meters walking distance Urban activities within 500 meters walking distance work places work places Yes percentage Water surface within 3 kilometers 1 milj sq meters Distance to a public boat stop m Green space within 500 meters walking distance sq meters Villa (stand-alone house) If detached Lakeside property If lakeside Socioeconomic index 10 percentage Total surface 10 sq meters

21 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering Conclusions Public transport accessibility (how many jobs that can be reached by public transport) is a very important variable for the value of a single-family property. High density of housing and jobs close to public transport nodes generate high property values. Homes close to the sea/lake, like a lakeside property, or closeness to a public boat stops, generates high values and clearly shows that proximity to water is a strong urban quality. Accessibility by car has less impact on the variations in the price level than accessibility by public transport (1/3).

22 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering More conclusions Proximity to public transport stations (rail) is highly valued, as well as proximity to urban activities. In many cases this can be coordinated and thus create good local centers. Value of surface, as well as stand-alone houses clearly shows that larger properties with greater freedom of space generates a higher purchase price. At the same time these qualities prevents planning for good public transport which in itself is a stronger variable. A large amount of green space within walking distance has a high value. This suggests a need for green space in the proximity of the property for every day visits.

23 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering Value of a park: A new city park in a development project can create real estate values of about 2 Billion SEK for new and existing premises.

24 The Growth and Regional Planning Administration, Different scenarios To add marginally To fully redevelop

25 Tillväxt, miljö och regionplanering Typology of greenary En enkel och översiktlig indelning Compare the access to greenary in figures and maps Picture of the distribution, interrrelation och location Changes over time and geography Tool for analysis in city development och landskap/grontypologi/

26 Södertälje Täby Farsta Kommentar: I Södertälje har man allra närmast till parkmark. Gångavstånd till park
