Emma Holmqvist is a Researcher at Uppsala University's Institute for Housing and Urban Research, specializing in human geography with qualitative methodologies. Her work critically examines planning for social sustainability within Swedish urban contexts, focusing on housing policy frameworks and their real-world implications for marginalized populations.
Her research program centers on:
- Social mix policies as tools for desegregation without explicit ethnic targeting
- Housing as a fundamental human right and its policy implementation
- Effects of restrictive migration policies on housing access and urban planning
- Urban commons and sharing economies as inclusion mechanisms
Analysis of her 15 most recent publications (2015-2025) reveals a consistent trajectory toward migration-housing interlinkages. Early work examined social mix implementation (2009-2013), evolving into systematic reviews of local policy barriers for vulnerable groups (2022-2024), and culminating in current studies on migration policy's psychological impacts (2025). Her scholarship bridges academic rigor with policy relevance, particularly regarding Sweden's post-2015 refugee influx and housing market pressures.
