Just think, if do not build away children's sport

"What if – do not build away children's sport"

"the Debaters: the Situation in our metropolitan municipalities is unsustainable,"

"This is an opinion piece. It is the writer who stands for the views that are put forward in the text, not Against."

"the DEBATE. Tolvåringar who is training to 21: 00 a weekday. A 7-spelarplan where over 50 kids together at the same time. Children who miss half of the training sessions for the team scored times on a plane many miles away. Eight not get the chance to take up sporting activities for the association in the area can't offer the place – in the absence of hall or plantider. "

"This is everyday life in many metropolitan municipalities already today, and even worse. It shall be possible to play sports in the major metropolitan areas in the future? "

"A case in point is the municipality of Nacka, southeast of Stockholm. In kommundelen a news site, live today, approximately 37 000 people. 2035 expect Nacka municipality with 75 000 inhabitants. The population is doubled. A Enköping move in."

"On the news site is today, according to the municipal website the equivalent of 4.25 11-spelarplaner. Then 5-spelarplaner included, for in Nacka counts of each decimal. "

"It can be compared with Enköpings 30 plans to their 43 000 inhabitants of the municipality. What draws then nacka's politicians for the conclusion, when Sicklaöns population is 75 000? Bet they might against the 38 municipality or föreningsdrivna plans in Kalmar municipality, with a similar population size? "

"Nackapolitikernas answer is unimaginably low of 5.75 plans. Or possibly 4,75, on the proposal to demolish a plan goes through. And soccer is just one example. The 75 000 will also share in 5 sports halls, and 1, or possibly 2, ice rinks. Spontanidrott? Forget it. Such surfaces are built away."

"of investments can be attributed to so many positive effects that sport. Public health, integration and democracy is more relevant than ever. Young people are moving less and less, and poor mental health has increased by more than 100 per cent in ten years among 10-18-year-olds. It shows figures from the Folkhälsomyndigheten and the national Board of health. "

"the sports Movement is a key force to counter it. It activates young people, establishing good health habits, improve self-esteem and prevent mental ill-health. It also reduces the physiological reactions to stress, and improves sleep and concentration. Young sportsmen and sportswomen do better in school. But it does not stop there. "

"the sports community also provides both young people and adults with a context. In many communities it is not just kids who have sports as their natural hub. The sport also gets the parents ' meeting place. Thus creating the sport, the conditions for cohesion and viability in the local environment. Around the sport can all be collected. "

"At risk are the poor. The resourceful will be able to get around no matter how many obstacles municipalities Nacka set up for the sportsmen. Those who have parents that can pay for themselves, have already established good health habits, and thats for sportsmen. Those who are not as resourceful, or not natural looking to the sports movement, the disappearance, however."

"What is then? To build sports facilities in step with housing, at a walking distance, may not be an option. Municipalities Nacka need to resist the temptation to sell land for housing construction. Not believe that a single plan in another part of the municipality is a solution when a Enköping move in. "

"It is now the case. This is about what kind of society we want. Short-term financing solutions need to be set against the investment that repays itself many times in the long term. "

"It's about sustainability. Is it acceptable to deliberately build a future in which the barriers for sport becomes so big that only the resourceful will be left? The answer should be obvious. As many as possible, for as long as possible! "

"And the options available. It shows, for example, the architect-designed counter-proposal, developed by the dedicated residents of Nacka. Nacka still have the chance to do the right thing. "
