Presentation overview
- Background and Approach
- Service and public transport accessibility in Nordic city-regions
- Linking accessibility to socio-economics and demographics
- The big picture on Funen
- Turning information into practice
- Remarks about future perspectives
Background and Approach
Mapping service reachability in 4 Nordic city-regions
- Analytical focus on :
- functioning of the urban form - the effortlessness of everyday life and access to amenities
- a functional "city-regional" scale
- testing a comparable spatial analysis in multiple cities
- providing information that can support policy and planning
In-depth analysis conducted for Funen:
- Linking accessibility to socio-economics and demographics
Background and Approach
- 2400 points of common "everyday services" mapped on Fyn
- Detailed timetable and location data of public transport stops

Turning information into practice
Three ways to improve accessibility to services via planning:
1. Plan more services
- Not necessarily feasible budget-wise, planning new locations for private service providers = market-dependent
2. Plan better connections to services
- Pedestrian and cycleways can be cost effective, but a lack of such is often not the core problem in Denmark
- Better public transport connections = budget-driven and semi-market-dependent > requires denser urban form
3. Plan denser urban form
- Not always feasible, suitable or answering to the right type of demand. Market-driven
Turning information into practice
Examples from Tampere regional planning for 2040

Future perspectives
- Generational shifts in what is attractive living? What might this mean for long-term strategy?
- Comprehensive understandings of mobility
- Combining the everyday life perspective with business and commerce development
- What are the specific planning needs in your municipal perspectives?
- How can this type of information be useful for you in your work?
