Stockholm is the capital city of Sweden located on the Baltic Sea. Over 30% of the city is made up of waterways and parks. The city has a long history of sustainable urban planning dating back to the 1930s when it began planning for a radial development pattern with green spaces between urban areas connected by public transportation. Today, Stockholm has an extensive public transportation system including commuter rail, subway, and busses. Planning in Stockholm is a cooperative process involving citizens, agencies, and private groups.

5. Economy
• Stockholm is Sweden's financial center Major Swedish
banks, such as Swedbank .The majority of people in
Stockholm work in the service industry which accounts
for roughly 85% of jobs in Stockholm. The significant
number of jobs created in high technology companies
large employers include IBM ,Ericsson, and Electrolux

-This radial development pattern leaves green “wedges” in between the
urban areas—which form a system of parks and open spaces that make a
region wide system linked by paths and green arterials
-The nodes of urban development along the public transportation system
need to be dense, mixed-use, and walk able,
- Open space planning requires cooperation between involved municipalities,
regional entities, and the national government.

7. Planning History
• Planning has a long history in the Swedish society; the first planning
laws were drawn up in the 19th century. In Sweden, planning is largely
done by local governments, Sweden’s planning system has three main
elements:
1. Democratic and decentralized decision-making,
2. Competing interests are balanced,
3. Ecological and social needs and values are taken into account

8. Timeline of Planning History
• 1930s - Stockholm begins planning for a radial development pattern
with green “wedges” in between
• 1945 - 20 year master plan for Stockholm crafted
• 1952 - Metro network begins to be developed, new neighborhoods
follow this network
• 1987 - Urban Planning and Building Act revised, now cities are
required to create a comprehensive plan (non-binding)
• 1995 - Sweden joins the European Union
• 1999 – City Plan 99 sets forth the “Build the City Inwards” plan for
infill development
• 2001 - Stockholm County Council approves its first spatial regional
development plan for the greater Stockholm region.

14. Planning :is a Cooperative Process
• Even during Stockholm’s most rapid period of growth, the City managed
urban development according to their comprehensive plan.
• -This plan was not legally binding, but was followed both within the City
of Stockholm and its adjacent suburban towns.
• -The reason that municipalities in the greater Stockholm region follow
these non-binding plans is because they are created during a consensus-
based process where private organizations, public agencies, and citizens
are involved.
• - This approach results in a plan that reflects an integration of these
various perspectives.

15. Plan for Density
• In Stockholm, dense areas that are established as targets for growth in
the City Plan are given extra attention,
as planners craft detailed development plans that mandate the type, form,
and timing of development in that area.
Then, as long as a development proposal meets the established plan’s
criteria, it is automatically approved.
