This document discusses two urban planning projects in Gothenburg, Sweden: Campus Näckrosen and Johanneberg Science Park. It analyzed the projects based on governance principles like citizen engagement, transparency, and accountability. Interviews found stakeholders had varying levels of awareness of the principles between the two projects. While key players were favorable towards governance, other stakeholders like external groups had minimal involvement. The conclusion recommends defining governance principles agreed upon by all stakeholders and using them to assess internal processes and complex public-private projects. This could improve stakeholder interactions, project efficiency and effectiveness.

 Equality and Social Inclusion
 Ethical and Honest behaviour
 Equity (fair procedures and due processes

19. Conclusion &
Recommendations
 Key Players
 Similar response
 Favourable for Governance
 Keep satisfied and Minimal effort-
 Huge variations
 Shift in power and interest
 Could be checked in different stages

20. Conclusion &
Recommendations
 Minimal effort -
 Mostly external stakeholders
 Involvement in the planning
 Gap in Governance
 Stakeholder Analysis
 Implementing governance principles

21. Conclusion
 Governance Principles need to be agreed
upon by stakeholders
 used to assess/audit internal processes in
public or public organizations
 More complex to assess processes involving
combination
 May not necessarily improve stakeholder
interactions, project efficiency & effectiveness
