The aim of this research is to investigate how a strategic vision can be achieved within a time plan, in this case by 2050, and investigate the Swedish administrative division, to understand who does what and when. The objective of this project is to set up a detailed time plan and develop several strategies which will work as guidelines for the development of the region, in order to achieve the goals to become a connected, an accessible and a sustainable metropolitan region by 2050.

Throughout the project the focus will be on three aspects and these three has one common ground: the growing population.
Densification: To prevent urban sprawl, densification of the region is needed, in order to ensure housing, jobs and services to the people.
Mobility: The public transport is reaching its maximum capacity and many infrastructural investments are needed to ensure people access to the region.
Environment: Measurements are needed to protect the environment and at the same time it has to be accessible to the people.

These three aspects will be translated into three goals that the region needs to achieve by 2050 in order to become a resilient metropolitan region.
An Accessible City: Each citizen of the region should have access to affordable housing, commercial and public services and other services for their daily needs.
A Connected City: The region should be well connected and public transport should be the main mean of transportation
A Sustainable City: The region should be able to develop and expand and protect its unique environment, without increasing the carbon footprint caused by the growing population.
