Future Stockholm

General information about City of Stockholm

A world class Stockholm - the city vision for the year 2030

During the fall of 2006, a process started in Stockholm in which all of the city's departments, administrations and companies, along with several external partners, took part in formulating a long term, complete vision for Stockholm's development and for a sustainable growth. The project was named "Vision Stockholm 2030". The vision presents three coherent themes for the city's development, as well as a number of essential characteristics that shows how it is supposed to be to live in, work in and visit Stockholm in the year 2030.

Versatile and full of experiences

The year 2030, Stockholm will be a versatile city, full of experiences - simply, a world class metropolis. The region will offer a wide range of work, education, service, culture and entertainment: all the things that will give citizens the opportunity to fulfill their life dreams, and that will make use of every single persons potential. Stockholms unique city environment combines the pulse of the big city with the closeness to nature and water, something that will attract visitors from all over the world. 

Innovative and growing

The year 2030, Stockholm will be the hub of the growing Stockholm-Mälar region. Stockholm will be internationally competitive, and the leading region of growth in Europe. The region will be a world class dynamic and innovative economy that successfully competes with goods and services in the global marketplace. The economy will be characterized by knowledge based businesses, high innovation and unique collaboration between businesses, educational institutions and research facilities.

The year 2030, Stockholm will be the hub of an accessible and safe region, without social or fysical barriers. The region will offer unlimited possibilities for people to live, travel and meet. The city will offer high class and cost-effective services, based on variety and the freedom to choose. Citizens will have unique opportunities to choose from a large number of medical and care institutions, and schools.

The process

The process of creating the vision was lead by the City Executive Office, and has developed through dialogue within the city, with representatives from business, the educational system, other authorities - and many more.

Vision and reality

The vision of the future Stockholm is a strategic commitment from the city. All committees, departments and companies have an assignment to work towards the vision, and to implement it in their own activities and operations.
