Stockholm - European Green Capital
In 2010, Stockholm is designated the first ever European Green Capital by the EU Commission.
In this international conference, we will explore the strengths in the City's recent urban development and redevelopment projects and how they have contributed to this extraordinary designation.
The conference
The overall aim of the conference is to discuss how we can tackle some of the sustainability issues of urban development and how the Stockholm experiences can contribute to this end.
The focus will be on the holistic and cooperative approach to planning and realisation of medium to large scale city develoment projects that has been key to the success of projects such as the renowned Hammarby Sjöstad.
Starting with the experiences from this development and leading towards planned expansion, re-development and renewal projects,
we will emphasize on issues such as:
- Urban planning
- Energy efficient and sustainable building
- Retrofitting of aging buildings and neighbourhoods
- Energy supply systems
- Water supply, sewage and waste disposal
