Segregation

The plan explicitly says that segregation shall be broken up through a mixing of house types and tenure forms, so that people meet in everyday life, and that housing shall be part of urban development with greenery, meeting places and services. The counter-proposal's demand that urban planning be actively used against divides and that the strategy contain concrete measures against segregation is the same commitment. The plan moreover demands massive housing construction for different groups.

The election manifesto makes it a main task to get to the bottom of the causes of housing segregation and demands that housing and tenancy forms shall be mixed – exactly what the counter-proposal wants urban planning to be used for. The party programme wants urban development that creates integrated and varied living environments and points to public housing's role in countering segregation.

The plan states that housing policy shall counter segregation and that new construction shall be seen as a tool to reduce segregation, rather than increase divisions between parts of the city. The counter-proposal's requirement for mixed building, more housing for different groups and non-commercial meeting places is the same policy in strategic form. The plan moreover wants to build more rental apartments with reasonable rents and more green space in cities.

The plan states that Sweden is segregated and that reversing this must be a main priority for the next term, and the party programme requires a more open housing market where no one is forced to live segregated. That urban planning is actively used with mixed buildings and housing for different groups follows from that commitment, as does the goal of equal opportunities throughout the country. The plan therefore supports the requirement for a strategy with concrete measures against segregation.

• break segregationdecisive»Sverige är segregerat mellan dem med och utan jobb, mellan de som är födda här och i andra länder, mellan dem med och utan utbildning. Att vända detta måste vara en huvudprioritet inför nästa mandatperiod.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Sweden is segregated between those with and without jobs, between those born here and in other countries, between those with and without education. Reversing this must be a main priority for the next term.”

• living urban environments»Vi vill att varje invånare har närhet till grönska, med hög biologisk mångfald, fler parker och renare vatten.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We want every resident to have proximity to greenery, with high biological diversity, more parks and cleaner water.”

The plan takes no explicit position on what the committee actually decided — often because the committee's reason was procedural. The stance is derived and fully cited, but it does not show the party broke a commitment.

The plan sets as its most important goal that Sweden shall not have a single disadvantaged area in 2030 and specifies explicitly the built environment as the tool: disadvantage shall be built away with safer neighborhoods where more can own their housing. The counter-proposal's demand that urban planning is actively used against disparities, with mixed construction and housing for different groups, is the same commitment. The plan also emphasizes that attractive public spaces increase security, which supports the demand for meeting places.

• build away disadvantagedecisive»Därför måste vi också bygga bort utsattheten med tryggare kvarter där fler kan äga sitt boende och där fastighetsägare och det offentliga samarbetar långsiktigt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Therefore we must also build away disadvantage with safer neighborhoods where more can own their housing and where property owners and the public cooperate long-term.”
• no disadvantaged areas 2030»Vårt viktigaste mål är detta: Sverige ska år 2030 inte ha ett enda utsatt område.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Our most important goal is this: Sweden shall in 2030 not have a single disadvantaged area.”
• mixed tenure forms»Kommunala bostadsbolag ska både arbeta för att fler hyresrätter i utsatta områden omvandlas till bostadsrätter och för att få fler med egen försörjning och färre med försörjningsstöd att flytta till utsatta områden.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Municipal housing companies shall both work for more rental apartments in disadvantaged areas to be converted to owner-occupied apartments and for more with own support and fewer with support allowance to move to disadvantaged areas.”
• attractive public spaces»Attraktiva offentliga rum ökar känslan av trygghet.« (party programme ↗)“Attractive public spaces increase the sense of security.”

The party programme establishes that all city districts and residential areas should have varied tenure forms to achieve a natural mix of people, and that ethnic, social and economic segregation is thereby counteracted. The counter-proposal's requirements for mixed development, more housing for different groups and concrete measures against segregation are exactly this. The plan also wants housing area planning to create spaces for people to meet.

• mixed tenure forms against segregationdecisive»Strävan bör vara att det i alla stadsdelar och bostadsområden ska finnas varierande upplåtelseformer, för att därigenom få till stånd en naturlig blandning av åldrar och människor med olika bakgrund och ekonomiska förutsättningar. Därigenom motverkas etnisk, social och ekonomisk segregation.« (party programme ↗)“The aim should be that in all city districts and residential areas there should be varied tenure forms, to thereby achieve a natural mix of ages and people with different backgrounds and economic conditions. Thereby ethnic, social and economic segregation is counteracted.”
• meeting places in residential areas»Ett sådant synsätt medför att man vid bostadsområdesplanering skapar utrymmen för människor att mötas i små gemenskaper« (party programme ↗)“Such an approach means that when planning residential areas, spaces are created for people to meet in small communities”

The plan's answer to segregation is the quality of teaching, the Swedish language and replacing the benefit line with the work line, not using urban planning as a distribution tool. It explicitly rejects large-scale social experiments for mixing groups and wants to simplify planning processes rather than imposing new societal goals on them. The plan therefore speaks against the counter-proposal's requirement for a strategy that actively directs built development toward reduced segregation.

• school and language break segregationdecisive»De enskilt viktigaste åtgärderna för att bryta segregationen handlar om kvaliteten i undervisningen och det svenska språket.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The single most important measures to break segregation are about the quality of teaching and the Swedish language.”
• no to social experiments»Vi säger därför bestämt nej till storskaliga experiment med kvotering, lottning eller tvångsbussning av elever.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“We therefore firmly say no to large-scale experiments with quotas, lotteries or compulsory bussing of pupils.”
• simpler planning processes»Ersätta avancerade detaljplaner med enklare byggplaner« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Replace advanced detailed plans with simpler building plans”
• work-line breaks exclusion»Där bidragslinjen ersätts av arbetslinjen så att fler kan komma till sin rätt.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Where the benefit line is replaced by the work line so that more can come into their own.”

The plan states that extensive investments in schools, welfare and housing in segregated areas have failed and wants to stop student bussing and other integration experiments. Segregation should instead be met by reduced immigration and return migration that eases pressure on the housing market. Building an urban development strategy around mixed development and non-commercial meeting places is precisely the kind of area-focused measure the plan rejects.

• failed area investmentsdecisive»Trots att kostnaden för integrationspolitiska åtgärder och för satsningar på skola, välfärd och bostäder i segregerade områden varit omfattande, har politiken misslyckats i sådan grad att andra generationens invandrare är mer benägna att begå brott än sina föräldrar och i stor grad utgör rekryteringsbasen för gängen.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Despite integration policy measures and investments in schools, welfare and housing in segregated areas having been extensive in cost, the policy has failed to such a degree that second-generation immigrants are more likely to commit crimes than their parents and to a large extent form the recruitment base for gangs.”
• return migration against segregation»Minska migrationens påfrestning på bostadsmarknaden genom återvandring« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Reduce pressure on the housing market through return migration”
• against integration experiments»Stoppa bussning av elever och andra integrationsexperiment« (2022 manifesto ↗)“Stop student bussing and other integration experiments”
• safe and pleasant areas»Sverigedemokraterna vill verka för trivsamma och trygga områden med klassisk arkitektur.« (2022 manifesto ↗)“The Sweden Democrats want to work for pleasant and safe areas with classical architecture.”
