Political Spatial Planning as a Local Development Strategy: The Experience of Sweden

The third millennium AD is the millennium of urbanization and its expansion over time fulfills the expectation that the planet will become a metropolis. In this transition, the position of urban planning becomes stronger. Planning is political in nature. This research was conducted with the aim of investigating the political planning of space in Sweden with an emphasis on communes, and it was used based on the descriptive-analytical method on library and documentary data, and introduced and described a successful example of urban management and political planning of space for regions and cities. The decisions of urban experts regarding the allocation of resources for specific infrastructures and beneficiaries have political consequences and often lead to maintaining or changing power, often these decisions are influenced by various factors such as economic, social, political and cultural leading to the formation and change of urban places. The legal policy in countries such as Sweden, as a successful example of the implementation of the political purpose of space, leads to the correct formation of countless freedoms, including; citizen's opinion and rights are based on the constitution in the form of the formation of communes and the law of the parliamentary government called the Riksdag. Conclusions: The results indicate that urban governance has been established in reality with a bottom-up view and seeking cooperation between the main actors and the beneficiaries of the regions in Sweden. The power of planning to build what needs to be created is created with the dynamic participation of politicians, planners and public and private actors and municipalities.
