• Creation of a Land Use Change Index (LUCI) to measure the extent of land-use intensification on the municipal level.
• Insights into how local politics impact sustainable spatial development.
• Municipalities with more competitive elections tend to experience more intensive land-use changes, which is unique to Sweden.
• Characteristics of local political institutions moderate effects of economic interests driving land-use intensification.
• Mining industries significantly drive land-use changes, but Green Party presence on the local level mitigates this effect.
