Research
SPEAK - Sustainable Planning and Environmental Assessment Knowledge, financed by Swedish Environmental protection Agency. The project is led by Prof. Berit Balfors, KTH and includes researchers from KTH, SLU, ENVECO, Ecoloop and VTI.
SPEAK is a research program in Sweden with the overall aim to generate knowledge about effective spatial planning for sustainable development and thereby strengthen spatial planning as a relevant and comprehensive means of attaining the national environmental quality objectives.
SPEAK will identify and analyze obstacles and deficiencies of environmental assessments in contemporary planning practice.
SPEAK will identify pathways that can support spatial planning.
SPEAK will generate proposals for developing the planning system and its applications in Strategic Environmental Assessment of plans and programmes and in Environmental Impact Assessment of projects.
Background
McS in biology, licentiate in landscapeplanning, and PhD in landscapeplanning.
