Uppsatsen undersöker hållbarheten i att äga skog som allmänning och utforskar ägandeformen som alternativ till det statliga ägandet av skog. Det görs utifrån tesen att ett gemensamt ägande i form av allmänningar innebär en mer rättvis fördelning av resurser från skogsbruket och att ägandeformen skapar större möjlighet till ett ekonomiskt, socialt och politiskt inflytande i sitt lokala samhälle. UpThis essay examines the sustainability of owning forest as commons and compare it to the sustainability of the forests owned by the government. I suggest that the former way of managing forest is more sustainable due to a more equitable distribution of resources from the forestry and that it creates greater opportunities for economic, social and political influence in the managing of the forest.

Climate change is happening, right now. Its effects will become more pervasive in our daily lives, and it is part of our task as urban designers to explore how to adapt our cities and communities.

As the world becomes increasingly urban, cities are seeking creative and effective strategies to become more climate-proof and sustainable while, at the same time, creating liveable urban futures.
