The Stockholm Royal Seaport road map – up to 80% fewer greenhouse gas emissions
21 aug 2018One of the main objectives in Stockholm Royal Seaport is to limit greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. As part of this work, the City of Stockholm joined the C40 network and the Climate Positive Development Program and adopted the framework. The expected outcome of this collaboration is that the Royal Seaport project will become a climate positive urban district.
Sustainable Urban Development
In 2009, the Stockholm City Council decided that Stockholm Royal Seaport would be designated an area with an environmental profile with the mandate to determine what is possible in the current situation and push the boundaries where possible, to become a model of sustainable urban development.

How we work
One of the prerequisites is broad political support, and the aspiration that Stockholm should continue to be a leader in sustainable urban development. These efforts are guided by five strategies. A working method has been developed to manage, lead and quality-assure these requirements.

A hub for innovation
Stockholm Royal Seaport is a testbed where new ideas, methods, and approaches are developed and tested to inspire other cities and municipalities, researchers, companies, and organisations to think in new ways. Here we present several innovation projects ongoing and terminated.

The area received the 2019 Swedish Landscape Architecture Prize, partly in thanks to the project creating space for vegetation which provides both a sensory experience, and also a buffer against climate change. According to the jury, the space between Jaktgatan and Lövängsgatan is a great example of how dense, green cities can look in practice.
Prize for best sustainable urban development
In competition with other urban development projects around the world, Stockholm and Stockholm Royal Seaport received an award for best sustainable urban development project in the category Sustainable Communities. The award was presented at the UN Climate Change Conference in Paris 2015 by the C40 Cities Climate Leadership Group, a network connecting more than 80 of the world’s megacities. The award is proof that Stockholm is an international leader in sustainable urban development.
