This thesis seeks to investigate the relationship between municipal policy for
housing supply and the planning of new housing in Sweden. Through a case study
of Göteborg municipality and a comparative content analysis of Göteborgs policy
for housing supply and a number of plans featuring housing the analysis seeks
to investigate the effect of policy for housing supply as a tool for securing
the demand for housing in the Swedish municipalities. The thesis also seeks to
discuss its findings using theory concerning the implementation of policy and
the general planning situation for Swedish municipalities today.
The result of the analysis shows that most plans fail to regulate most of the
content suggested in the policy for housing supply, particularly regarding
aspects such as pricing, type of housing and type of ownership. The result also
points towards a relationship regarding the prevalence of municipal land
contracts and compatibility to policy for housing supply as well as a
connection between how extensive the plans are in their proposed land use and
their compatibility with policy for housing supply.
Using theories of policy implementation and the municipal planning situation,
possible explanations for the findings of the analysis could be a split in
responsibility between the formulating and implementation of the policy for
housing supply and its contents, a lack of resources of means for implementing
or the prevalence of special interests when attempting to convert policy to
plans.
