Emilia SmedsPostdoc, KTH/URS
Emilia’s researches the governance of transitions towards sustainable and socially just cities, with a recent focus on transport/mobility and climate change mitigation. Her PhD thesis focused on the capacity of municipal governments to use “policy experimentation” in transformative ways, e.g. by finding strategies for upscaling that circumvent the reliance on short-term and project-based innovation funding. Current projects deal with strategic spatial planning for the Stockholm city-region (RUFS 2060), and Experimentation and Learning about Street Space for Just Transitions to Post-Car Nordic Cities (NORD-URB-EXP).
