SUSTAINABLE CITIES - Stockholm - Royal Seaport

Stockholm has very high ambitions for sustainable development. Policies such as ‘The Walkable City’ and ‘Fossil fuel free 2040’, are world-leading. To further develop the city’s ambitions, the Stockholm Royal Seaport (SRS) has been pinpointed to test how to incorporate available best practices and become a model for sustainable urban development.

SRS is a major urban development project which, when finished in 2030, will have a total of 12,000 homes and 35,000 workspaces. It will feature the characteristics and density of an inner-city neighbourhood, with a broad mix of homes, amenities and businesses, as well as strategic infrastructure and international port traffic. The development builds upon a comprehensive community participation process and extensive cooperation between the city and industry.
