Welcome to a study visit to some of Stockholm’s urban development projects. The projects offer various types of urban challenges and solutions. Every project is based on the City of Stockholm’s vision of developing a sustainable city for all. A study visit in Stockholm is primarily for groups that study or work with urban development.
The projects that host study visits contain varying aspects of the urban development process. Here, you can read more about what each project consists of and what you can expect here more of when you book a visit.
A total of at least 12,000 new dwellings and 35,000 new workplaces are planned to be created with this project. This is one of the larger projects in Northern Europe and one of Stockholm's appointed environmental profile areas.

After more than 80 years, the Slussen water lock was worn out and needed to be replaced. At the same time, the area is being adapted to meet the needs of today's and tomorrow's Stockholmers.
In the future Slussen will be an efficient and safe junction for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport. It will also become one of Stockholm's most attractive meeting places with park life, entertainment and culture, restaurants and cafes.
Slussen is the city of Stockholm's largest climate adaptation project. With a fivefold capacity to release water from Lake Mälaren to the Salt Lake, the risk of flooding in Stockholm and the Mälardalen is reduced. It also secures the water supply for the approximately two million people who get their drinking water from Lake Mälaren.
This project contains:
Address and showroom, Södermalmstorg 4.

In 1996 it was decided that Hammarby Sjöstad would be built as an example of environmental adaptation. It thus became the city's first environmentally profiled district where technical installations, buildings and traffic environments were environmentally adapted.
Hammarby Sjöstad was conceived as an Olympic village, and the environmental aspects were therefore given a prominent role. Despite the fact that the Olympics went to Athens and not to Stockholm, Hammarby Sjöstad developed into one of Stockholm's largest urban development projects with a high environmental profile.
This project contains:
