Abstract

Cities have an important role to play in implementing the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and to mobilize sustainability at the urban level. Yet, municipalities encounter challenges in localizing the SDGs into their governance structures, and there is a need to advance our understanding of cities strengths and weaknesses in such processes. In this article we provide knowledge and reflections gained in analyzing the process of localizing the SDGs into the spatial planning of Smörkajen, a former industrial harbor site in Malmö, Sweden. By applying the analytical framework of Institutional Capacity Building, the study explores the process of localizing the SDGs in terms of building relational and knowledge capacities and to provide mobilization capacity by the formation of a sustainability strategy. The results illustrate an inclusive approach supporting relational capacity and numerous measures to enhance knowledge capacity, bringing about the formation of a draft sustainability strategy, strongly supported by the municipal participants. But rather than formally adopting the full strategy in the spatial planning of the Smörkajen area, the results of the process were only to be considered to the extent the traditional documents and processes allowed. In all, the results illustrate a strong support for the use of localized SDGs among municipal administrative units to mobilize sustainability, but also the challenges in actually implementing these in the formal planning and development process.

可持续发展目标本地化:以Malmö城市规划为例
城市在实施联合国可持续发展目标和动员城市一级的可持续性方面发挥着重要作用。然而,市政当局在将可持续发展目标本地化到其治理结构中时遇到了挑战,我们需要进一步了解城市在这一过程中的优势和劣势。在这篇文章中,我们提供了在分析将可持续发展目标定位到瑞典马尔默的前工业港口Smörkajen的空间规划过程中获得的知识和思考。通过应用机构能力建设的分析框架,本研究探讨了可持续发展目标在建立关系能力和知识能力方面的本地化过程,并通过制定可持续发展战略来提供动员能力。结果表明,采取了一种包容性的方法来支持关系能力,并采取了许多措施来提高知识能力,从而形成了一份可持续发展战略草案,得到了市政参与者的大力支持。但是,在Smörkajen地区的空间规划中,并没有正式采用完整的战略,而是只在传统文件和流程允许的范围内考虑该过程的结果。总之,研究结果表明,市政行政单位强烈支持使用本地化的可持续发展目标来调动可持续性,但也表明了在正式规划和发展过程中实际实施这些目标的挑战。
