Development of stakeholder collaboration linked to the TRAST tool (Traffic for an Attractive City)

The challenges of modern city development are a common task for several actors. Accessibility and traffic solutions are crucial factors for the development of sustainable cities. In order to reach good solutions, collaboration between different actors in the city is required - municipality, property owners, trade, the hospitality industry, cultural life and other businesses. Collaborating can be a challenge, especially when actors can have different perspectives, preferences and conditions. With increased knowledge, this project aims to form a developed platform for collaboration and knowledge transfer to relevant actors with direct or indirect interest in the development of the city. The School of Business, Economics and Law at Gothenburg University together with Svenska Stadskärnor want to develop and find a common platform for collaboration on the city's accessibility and traffic solution. Swedish city centers, together with members of the organisation's Research Council, have initially contributed to the presentation of a model for implementing TRAST in Swedish municipalities. A model that in future projects forms the basis for the research work.
