Hammarby Sjöstad
Innovation Centre for Climate Transition by 2030
Hammarby Sjöstad, with 25,000 inhabitants, is the first eco-city district in Stockholm and an international model for eco-friendly urban developments. The city district is based on a recycling concept known as ”the Hammarby model,” using new principles for governance to integrate strong environmental commitments in the construction process, termed ”eco-governance.”
Today Hammarby Sjöstad 1.0 has evolved into Hammarby Sjöstad 2.0, a citizen-based initiative to “renew a new city.” It serves as a testbed for sustainable city development and “twin transition,” encompassing both climate transition and digital transition, with the aim of making the city district climate neutral by 2030. This process is driven by ElectriCITY Innovation, a quadruple helix organization consisting of civil society, academia, business, and the City of Stockholm.
