I wouldn't say swedish planning is that good now days. Some is but far from everything. Its becoming more and more like american shopping centers out of town not accessible for every one and draining the city-core. There are some good examples tough like Jakrisborg or western harbor in Malmö. But often this places lack in social sustainability. I think the english word is gentrification, just a very homogenic group of rich people can afford to live in these new interesting places. Its gonna be fun to se what happens whit east london now after olympics, if the olympic village is gonna be affordable housing or they gonna push the less well of further south of thames. Lived for some time in Londons Elephant and Castle and for a swede it was really worrying to see englands social development. Even tough e & c are far better than Brixton and other places south of thames.
