Utmaningar för implementation av flytande bostäder i Sverige.

Sammanfattning

Climate change is one of the biggest challenges in modern time, and sea level rise is an increasingly topical issue. People need to change their way of planning coastal cities. In the future, cities must be more dynamic, flexible, environmentally friendly and able to reinvent themselves. Floating buildings have these conditions, but it seems that the number of floating buildings is small in Sweden. The study aims to examine floating buildings in Sweden, investigate obstacles and challenges, describe Pros and Cons of floating buildings.The study's research strategy is the qualitative method, which is semi-structured interviews and observations. Respondents are authorities and entrepreneurs. Problem areas in the survey were law and misunderstanding of technical solutions. The biggest obstacle was the law which is related to detailed development plan and shoreland protection.Floating houses are an attractive project that has new innovations that meet today's risks and challenges. The study shows that there are more obstacles than opportunities for floating houses in Sweden. Change must be made to make it easier to plan and build more floating houses in Sweden, to meet climate change and rising sea levels, even for a sustainable society. Changes in legislation can be difficult to fullfill, but it is important to change the legislation in a way that adapts to floating buildings.
