Lighthouse city: Stockholm
A website about the GrowSmarter project is also available in Swedish on the Stockholm City Council site, click here
Background
Sweden’s capital city Stockholm has been working on climate change mitigation and adaption since the 1990s. The city is a real frontrunner, with well implemented climate action plans and pioneering policies to ensure it meets its ambitious environmental targets. For leading the GrowSmarter project, Stockholm won the World Smart City Awards 2019
Stockholm is growing rapidly and sometimes faces challenges of both keeping and developing its unique city character. A key priority is to ensure that Stockholm remains a sustainable city, while offering an attractive and inspiring living and working environment.
