Sweden is a leading country in environmental work but has not been among the leading countries in wind power. Wind power generation in the urban environment is rare in the Swedish market. The purpose of this thesis is to examine what is mean by urban wind power, highlighting the problems and obstacles for further development and present plans for urban wind power in Malmö. Furthermore, I try to also to explain the impact of urban wind power has on our society. The essay is based on an analysis of articles dealing with urban wind power, studies of reports and interviews with those responsible for various projects going on in Malmö today. The study shows that urban wind power is a good, environmentally friendly renewable energy source. There are problems and social conflicts to be resolved for urban wind power to be developed further. Through research, targeted investments and careful planning, wind power can devised to fit in the urban environment. Based on the study design, I believe that an assessment of the situation of urban wind power is only possible in a couple of years, when all the pilot projects have been running for a while and can provide us with valuable information. Urban wind power could contribute to economic and environmental benefits to society in the future.
