2.2. Uncertainties in Planning

We cannot, it is not easy to demolish these important buildings and then we are going to construct a new set of image because it is to play with the peoples emotions peoples belonging. And in fact there also to understand the Kiruna character and the belonging of it like you can see this is the LKAB company land, and this is the Kiruna Kommun this is the service and the supply town and wherever the railway aspect is there this is the railway land, so you have these 3 are the major stakeholders of the Kiruna one is the railway the other one is the LKAB state-owned mining company and the other one is the Kiruna Kommun to serve the people.

In this chunk, we learn about the various stakeholders involved in the relocation of Kiruna. These stakeholders are essential because they influence the planning and decision-making processes. The three main stakeholders mentioned are the LKAB (the mining company), Kiruna Kommun (the local municipality), and the railway authorities. Each of these entities has different roles and responsibilities. The LKAB is primarily focused on mining operations, Kiruna Kommun looks after the local population's needs, and the railway aspect is crucial for transportation and logistics.

Think of planning a community project like building a new park. You would need input from different groups: the local government (like Kiruna Kommun) to ensure it meets community needs, a construction company (like LKAB) to actually build it, and perhaps even public transport authorities (like the rail operators) to make sure people can easily get to the park.

And a lot of documents a lot of heritage board there is lot of documents coming in Kiruna councils country administrative board, and LKAB and a lot of consultants which are developing all the reports but then Jennie what she did was she tried to really put together and she tried to analyse you know what is the purpose of this whole document and how are they related to the conservation of these heritage buildings.

This chunk highlights the vast amount of documentation related to the planning process. Jennie Sjoholm takes on the task of organizing and analyzing these documents to understand their purpose and their connection to conserving heritage buildings. In a complex project like relocating a town, many reports and studies exist, which can be overwhelming. Jennie's work helps clarify the objectives of these documents, ensuring that important historical elements are considered in the planning.

Imagine trying to organize your family’s vacation plans. You have tickets, hotel reservations, and activity brochures (the documents). If someone steps in to make sense of this chaos, organizing it into a clear itinerary (like Jennie's analysis), it would make the planning process smoother and ensure you don’t miss any important details.

And then in 1984 what you can see here is like it is all the red dots which are actually talking about the designated areas you know they are all the listed buildings around, and there is a conservation plan which has been adopted in 1984. And here the heritagisation have actually referred to various aspects; one is the addition of new heritage because when they came to know that yes the Kiruna is going to move further.

In this chunk, the heritagisation process is discussed, particularly referencing a conservation plan adopted in 1984. The term heritagisation refers to recognizing and designating buildings as heritage sites, which often increases their importance to the community. As plans for moving the town emerged, discussions about adding new heritage sites began, indicating a dynamic interaction between the historical and the present.

Think of heritagisation like finding old family photographs and deciding which ones to frame and display. Some may be from recent events (new heritage), while others are cherished memories (existing heritage) that are now highlighted because they've been recognized as important to the family's story.

Let us see how it went, and there have been a lot of the controversial aspects of how this particular culture has going to be taken into account in the move process so that is where even the general director of national heritage board also wrote in a debate article that you know the battle is about which history we will be able to tell about Kiruna in the future.

This chunk addresses the controversies surrounding the planning and cultural preservation during the relocation of Kiruna. The general director of the national heritage board emphasizes the importance of deciding which historical narratives will be preserved and recounted in the new town. This reflects the larger debate about identity and cultural memory, especially in contexts of significant change.

Consider a neighborhood that's about to be redeveloped. The residents might argue over which parts of their history—such as an old community center or a famous street festival—should be saved in the new plans. This discussion reflects the diverse memories and identities that shape a community’s sense of belonging.

So they have to take care of each and every shingle out, and carry it, and place it, and erect it. So this is going to cost few millions worth of project you know so then they try to assess the budget of it you know what kind of so after all taking care of the practical considerations.

In this chunk, the financial implications of relocating heritage structures are discussed. The importance of careful planning is highlighted, as disassembling and moving historical buildings can be a very costly endeavor. This requires thorough budget assessments and a pragmatic approach to managing resources while ensuring the integrity of the heritage is maintained.

Imagine renovating a historic house. If you want to keep its character intact while upgrading it, you have to budget for quality materials (like old shingles) and skilled labor. If you're not careful with the financial planning, you might run out of money halfway through and end up with an incomplete project.

There is always a tripartite relationship with these 3 stakeholders. One is LKAB is the financial support for that, and the administrative support is the Kiruna, and the people relying on both.

This chunk describes the interconnected roles of the three stakeholders: LKAB, Kiruna Kommun, and the local community. Their relationship is complex because they rely heavily on one another for resources, support, and decision-making. The LKAB provides financial backing, the municipality manages local needs, and residents depend on both for maintaining their livelihoods and community.

Think of a sports team where the coach (Kiruna Kommun) needs funding from the sponsors (LKAB) to pay for the players (the community). The team can only succeed if the coach manages the players well while securing resources from the sponsors. If one piece falters, it could jeopardize the whole team's performance.
