Kista Borough in Stockholm has used knowledge and education to build its community and reduce segregation. It established universities and schools to provide education opportunities for its diverse population of 30,000 residents speaking over 100 languages. Through initiatives like its e-panel, e-government programs, and focus on IT education and training, Kista saw unemployment drop from 22% to 3.4% between 1996 and 2001 while the number of companies grew from 350 to 750. The borough aims to continue strengthening the "golden triangle" between its commercial, education, and resident sectors to build a robust community for the future.
