Aesthetic Principles for a City Wide Public Space Strategy in a Shrinking Municipality : A Case Study of Ljusdals Kommun
Attractiveness can constitute an existential matter for some cities of Sweden. Such is the casefor Ljusdals Kommun in middle Sweden, where the goal of growing back to 20,000inhabitants for 2030 has become one of its main objectives towards social and economicsustainability. Attractiveness to address sustainability in Ljusdal turned then into the topic ofthe present thesis in Strategic Urban and Regional Planning. Public spaces were identified as ameans with potential towards this end. The aim was to investigate aesthetic principles that cancontribute to the attractiveness of the city and how they can be implemented in the planning ofits public spaces. To address the phenomenon, an overview of factors that have shaped urbanlandscapes in Sweden and possibilities to foster sustainability were studied. A dialoguebetween modernism as a characteristic style of urban developments of the Record Years andidealism as an alternative was done. From such a dialogue, a set of aesthetic principles wasextracted, which was then applied as a survey in the case study city. Finally, these results weretaken to interviews with public servants from the local government, artists and citizens toobtain their insights regarding the applicability of the set. A city-wide public space strategythat incorporates beauty from idealism was found as an attractiveness approach with potentialfor the municipality’s sustainability work.
