1. Hur avrinningskoefficienten varierar med återkomsttid - En jämförelse mellan fyra olika områden i Sverige
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Teknisk vattenresursläraSammanfattning : As climate change progresses, heavy rainfall in Sweden is becoming more frequent and intense, coinciding with an increase in impermeable surfaces in urban areas. This raises the risk of flooding as drainage networks may exceed their capacity due to increased runoff. LÄS MER
2. Safety in Urban Spaces using Urban Planning: a Comparative Study in Bogotá, Colombia
Master-uppsats, Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljöSammanfattning : Many cities around the world are facing the same challenges when it comes to the ability for women to move around and feel safe in public spaces. For women, using public spaces entails fear of sexual violence and of being attacked, which forces them to always be vigilant and reduces their quality of life. LÄS MER
3. Estimation of flood risk and cost-effective mitigations : A case study in Tierp
Master-uppsats, KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknikSammanfattning : Climate change is predicted to alter the rainfall patterns in the future, and extreme rain events with large rainfall volumes will become more frequent and intense which increases the flood risk. A clear trend can be seen, where more and more people decide to relocate from rural to urban areas. LÄS MER
4. Changing Transport Strategy to Off-Peak Hour Delivery in Gothenburg and Copenhagen - Lessons and Recommendations learned from the New York and Stockholm Pilot Projects
Master-uppsats, Göteborgs universitet/Graduate SchoolSammanfattning : The pattern of urbanisation is determined by a set of complex aspects in social, economic, environmental, as well as technological that increases the concentration of the population in urban settlements. Many cities are experiencing difficulties and immense pressure on the infrastructure by declining traffic conditions with a series of issues including longer transit times, increased fuel consumption, and greenhouse gas emissions, prompting stakeholders and policymakers to tackle the issue by introducing alternative solutions to utilise the urban infrastructure more efficiently.

5. Modelling the risk of rainfall events leading to momentary pollution levels exceeding maximum allowed concentrations - A Swedish case study of urban runoff in the Fyris river
Uppsats för yrkesexamina på avancerad nivå, Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaperSammanfattning : The purpose of this study was (1) to study the proportion (X) of the flow in a watercourse that consists of urban runoff during a rain event and (2) to evaluate the risk that a few chosen pollutants, transported by urban runoff, exceed the maximum allowed concentration in the watercourse according to the environmental quality standards (MAC-EQS). The Fyris river in Uppsala, Sweden, was selected as a case study. LÄS MER
