Sustainable
Images of the Future – for
Women and Men?
The overall aim of the project is
to contribute to and deepen the knowledge on a gender aware planning
for sustainable development. More specifically, the objective is to
give new empirical and theoretical knowledge on how so called
sustainable images of futures, used in future studies, affect women and
men and to discuss whether or how these images could be transformed to
be gender equal.

Vinnova. Project time: 2006-2010
New Suburban Nodes for a Sustainable Future
The general aim of this project is to analyse what
implications urban form have for sustainable development and
environmental justice. The dominance of city cores in many European
cities are to an increasing degree being challenged by new
exploitations on cheaper land with good car-accessibility around the
cities. As cities continue to grow, such exploitations can become
either an integrated part of the cities or they may continue to
cultivate their competitive advantage of being easily accessed by
private car. Depending on how those areas are developed, the
consequences for ecologically sustainable development and environmental
justice will vary, and different measures will be needed to safeguard
their positive change.
