Effektiviteten i markanvisningsprocessen : En undersökning av samtliga markanvisningar i Stockholm 2004-2008

Sammanfattning: The lack of housing in the Swedish metropolitan areas is today a well-known fact. This is especially true for the region in and around Stockholm. Due to the large amount of municipality-owned land within Stockholm municipality the area for many new housing projects are acquired through land allocation. How much time this process of land allocation consumes for a typical project is today not really known. Equally unknown is the exact outcome of the process, i.e. the number of units constructed. A study that answers these questions is therefore interesting for many of the stakeholders involved in the industry. This Master of Science thesis is intended to answer the question of how effective the process of land allocation is. This is done through finding answers to three core questions: how many apartments that really are constructed, how good the municipality is at estimating the number of units that is possible to construct and the time consumed by the process. A study of all land allocations from the years 2004 through 2008 has been done in order to find answers to these questions. The study has been done through acquiring data about all the land allocation projects from the municipality and then investigating what happened with these in the end. This was compiled and analyzed for every year in the study in order to give a clear picture about how the typical process looked like and what the outcome was. Both the process in total and its different steps was examined in order to see if any of the parts of the process is more time-consuming. The number of constructed units has been compiled in a similar manner and the difference between the estimated number and the outcome has been calculated. The result from the study indicates that approximately half of the allocated apartments have been constructed up to this point. The estimates of the municipality also deviated with as much as about 28 percent from the outcome. The study furthermore shows that it takes about five years for a project to start construction when counting from the day of the land allocation.
