The aim is to develop Stockholm further, to facilitate everyday life for its citizens and to make Stockholm Northern Europe's most attractive location for people and businesses looking for quality of life, growth and a knowledge-based society.
During the fall of 2006, a process started in Stockholm in which all of the city's departments, administrations and companies, along with several external partners, took part in formulating a long term, complete vision for Stockholm's development and for a sustainable growth. The project was named "Vision Stockholm 2030". The vision presents three coherent themes for the city's development, as well as a number of essential characteristics that shows how it is supposed to be to live in, work in and visit Stockholm in the year 2030.
