Day 2 - 21 March
Session: Airport Design, Planning & Development

09:05 - 09:35 - New method for masterplanning at Swedavia
Synopsis: To extend the planning horizon at Swedavia, a new department called Masterplanning was established in 2016. One purpose is to coordinate the plans for airport, commercial and real estate interests. A new process for airport planning 50 years in the future is developed. One contribution is the Charrette method: a workshop where different internal and external competences work together from idea to planning proposal using sketching. This presentation will explain the steps in the process in general, and show examples from Stockholm Arlanda Airport and Göteborg Landvetter Airport, which are both at different stages in the planning process.

Audience will learn:

• The Charrette is a structured exercise to meet the organisation's long-term challenges
• Effective development strategies cannot merely consist of change in terms of small incremental steps
• If real change is to be effectively implemented, it needs to be embraced by the entire organisation
