Building density and green areas (parks and water), as well as com-pactness and spaciousness in selected districts in the city of Malmö.

The graphs show the basic density and landscape structure in inner and outer Malmö city. Malmö is now a relatively green and spacious area, which has a high compactness of the inner city, but lack the density and compactness of the suburbs.Case study area includes a landscape around the ring road where strong inter-ests for urban development and different nature- landscape conservationinterests are meet. The area is located in the east of Malmö city, where the outer city zone meets the rural area with strong agriculture traditions.

Green structure - an arena of polarization in the urban planning, where there are contradictions between the green structure and urban development. It is therefore important to study this landscape at the local level in the citys outer zone in Malmö. With the expected continuing high population growth in com-bination with national and regional objectives for nature conservation, the city becomes the arena of conflicting interests - to build or preserve? As I already have shown, different spaces ( city zones) are isolating the different districts in the city from each other, and become a driving factor in a social segregation processes. Social segregation and income gaps between rich and poor areas are increasing, and calls for an development that creates links and venues in and between the inner-outer city urban areas. At the same time, they repre-sent an important resource as ecological potential areas. As part of the effort to meet national objectives for both enviromental issues and biodiversity will the landscape around and in the city be an important aspect of Malmö as an sus-tainable city for the future.

The most compact unit in the inner city is provided by high density housing combined with key water routes and green areas. The parks and water kom-bined with high density givs “the right” urban felling.

The lowest compactness, in other words, the low-est urbanity, is found in areas that are only “green space”, For example, in rural areas, or no green space, such as industrial areas.

Less green areas, no water spaces, but high den-sity. Low spaciousness, indicating that inner city may have a shortage of outdoor nature. For future condensation it is needed more green areas, com-bined with new buildings. This will increase the compact unit.

Less dens. More open spaces but littel green spaces.In a densification process is the interaction between compactness and spaciousness important. When spa-cious unit is reduced, as it generally does with densi-fication, the compact unit should increase to maintain the urban environment more attractive.

In a densification process is the interaction between compactness and spa-ciousness important. When spacious unit is reduced, as it generally does with densification, the compact unit should increase to maintain the urban environment more attractive. This is an opportunity that does not appear to be utilized in the the outer city zones of Malmø. The risk with this develop-ment is primarily the single suburban zone reduces the attractiveness to the point that it runs on more urban sprawl in the spacious periphery. In short, you can accept the loss of spaciousness if you get greater compactness instead, not only increased housing density. Great spaciousness, which is most attractive in the periphery, is now already widely used due to a century of sprawl. The decrease in compactness that currently takes place in the outer city zone is likely to create a less competitive and less space-efficient region as a whole

Elastic is a body, system, order, organisation or relationship that is deformable or alterable by the action of a force, in an evolutionary logic. This elastic dimension can guide us inn a new directionin which the producer and the consumer can be seen as one for a sustaineblefuture.
