Social innovation in city development
Segregation, exclusion and mental ill health characterise many neighbourhoods despite extensive efforts. Short-term initiatives, a lack of measurability and unclear objectives mean that resources do not have the desired effect. At the same time, there is often a lack of capacity for analysis and collaboration between different actors – which is necessary to solve complex social challenges. How do you know which initiatives actually work and create long-term value?
RISE helps you develop and evaluate solutions for social sustainability with a scientific basis and measurable results. We offer tools for inclusive urban development, evaluate area initiatives and develop KPIs to monitor effects. Through SHIC, we support municipalities in designing welfare solutions with a focus on preventive measures, social outcome contracts and cross-sectoral collaboration that deliver measurable results.
Measurability and optimisation for increased human and social sustainability in cities
Short-term strategies, unclear objectives or a lack of incentives are common problems in urban and community development. We have broad expertise and several different methods for understanding and managing these challenges.

Sweden's largest public utility company is seeking ways to reduce segregation and increase security in development areas.
In order to reverse the trend in disadvantaged areas and reduce segregation in society, several major initiatives are now being undertaken by authorities and municipal property owners in Sweden. The doctoral project Evaluation of area initiatives in Gothenburg analyses security and segregation using register data and customer satisfaction surveys at Sweden's largest public utility company, Framtidenkoncernen in Gothenburg.
