“LOCAL ADULTS”
Create a collaborative community driven by local needs

Long-term conclusion
There is a need for alternative planning approaches to face global challenges. Fargemarka Boligprosjekt can be an example for the application of participation into planning processes.
Theprocess of carrying out action research was challenging and insightful for the Research Group, despite the interruption from the Covid-19 global pandemic. Analytic social science gains “insight into some broader set of social phenomena than those provided by the data themselves” (Anderson, 2006, p. 387), and therefore it was necessary for the Research Group to consider their analysis, and the research question, in the context of three broader academic domains and interpretations of planning in the global context. Driving Fargemarka’s process through personal interest whilst working through the university gave the Research Group a unique perspective, and allowed them to integrate both academic theory and actions.
The Fargemarka Boligprosjekt Association unifies elements of the discussed theory. It tries to challenge established systems and shows alternative ways and modes of planning whilst attempting to align with the Municipality’s development goals, the New Urban Agenda and Sustainable Development Goals.
Harnessing non-traditional planning theory has supported the identification of key opportunities for nascent urban experiments. Through action-research, the Muslica Research Group hopes to have demonstrated analytically sound signposts for different stakeholders to create sustainable and meaningful communities of care.
The words of Turner give hope for Fargemarka Boligprosjekt, highlighting that autonomy in the built environment not only provides exceptional value for money and high levels of utility in proportion to resources invested, but creates aesthetically satisfying and culturally meaningful environments (Turner, 1976).
