Five cities (Umeå, Luleå, Örnsköldsvik, Östersund and Sundsvall) have adopted a joint strategy for sustainable urban development, Thriving Northern Cities. RISE contributes with support in coordinating the collaboration and building a project portfolio. Through the project, we accelerate and broaden the work with the strategy.
Northern Sweden is facing a transition with urban growth in focus. Municipalities must address the climate challenge and build sustainable communities. Industrial transformation, demographics, and geopolitics are challenging for the entire country, but in some respects the northern region is ahead.
Five cities (Umeå, Luleå, Örnsköldsvik, Östersund and Sundsvall) have adopted a common strategy, and an initiation project has begun its implementation. During the work, specific challenges have been identified for system innovation and sustainable urban development:
In addition, two horizontal key areas have been identified:
Over three years, the project will work with these challenges and key areas. The project also serves as a bridge to a future organisation where the work becomes embedded in lasting structures.
The project has been granted support from the European Regional Development Fund.
