This paper presents an empirical study of a mental health coordination network in one area in Stockholm. The aim was to describe the development and nature of coordination within a mental health and social care consortium and to assess the impact on care processes and client outcomes. Method: Data was gathered through interviews with ‘joint coordinators’ (n=6) from three rehabilitation units. The interviews focused on coordination activities aimed at supporting the clients’ needs and investigated how the joint coordinators acted according to the consor- tium’s holistic approach.

At the moment of writing, the strategy, targeted towards both the majority and the minority populations, is on the verge of becoming implemented within all the municipal administrations and the whole municipal system of governance, so it is still to tell how much it will influence and change the current situation in the municipality. Population and demographics Botkyrka is a municipality with many faces. We are the most diverse municipality in Sweden. Between 2010 and 2012 the proportion of inhabitants with a foreign background increased to 55 % overall, and to 65 % among all children and youngsters (aged 0–18 years) in the municipality.2 55 % have origin in some other country (one self or two parents born abroad) and Botkyrka is the third youngest population among all Swedish municipalities.3 Botkyrka has always been a traditionally working-class lower middle-class municipality, but the inflow of inhabitants from different parts of the world during half a decade, makes this fact a little more complex.

  • Regional District Heating in Stockholm
    Dick Magnusson, PhD Student Department of Thematic Studies: Technology and Social Change Linköping University, Sweden dick.magnusson@liu.se +46(0)13-282503 Planning for a sustainable city region? - Regional district heating in Stockholm Abstract District heating is an old and established energy system in Sweden, accounting for 9 % of the national energy balance. The systems have traditionally been built, planned and managed by the municipalities and over the years the district heating systems in Stockholm have grown into each other and later been interconnected. This have led to that there today are three large systems with eight energy companies and the system can be considered a regional system. The strategy to create a regional system has existed for a long time from regional planning authorities. However, since the municipalities have planning monopoly the regional planning is weak. The overall aim for this study is to analyse the planning and development of an important regional energy system, the district heating system in Stockholm, to understand how the municipal and regional planning have related to each other. The study is conducted through studying municipal and regional plans in Stockholm’s county between 1978 and 2010. The results show that district heating has been considered important all along and that a regional, or rather inter-municipal, perspective has existed throughout the period, although with large differences between different municipalities. Regional strategies for an interconnected system and combined heat and power plants have been realised gradually and district heating have throughout the period been considered important for different environmental reasons. 1 Introduction In Sweden, district heating (DH) is an important part of the energy system, accounting for approximately 55 TWh of the annual energy supply of 612 TWh, and a 55% share of the total heating market.1 In some cities, the district heating systems are old, well-established, and have developed into regional energy systems, with Stockholm being the foremost example.

    Stockholm Hotel Report 2020 Cover photo: Hotel Frantz, Mathias Nordgren Photo on this page: Invest Stockholm, Jeppe Wikström Foreword This report was finalised before the global spread of the coronavirus (Covid-19). The consequences of the spread, combined with the restric- tions and recommendations from authorities and governments aiming to reduce the spread of infection, have had dramatic consequences for both travellers and hotels. Demand for hotel rooms in Stockholm and throug- hout Sweden has fallen sharply during March. Today, there is great uncertainty regarding the effects the coronavirus will have on global travel. Historically, the demand of hotel rooms has quickly recovered after various types of crises. Overall, however, there is a significant risk that the growth up to 2024 will not be as good as forecasted in this report Omslagsfoto: XXXXXXX Photo: Invest Stockholm, Henrik Trygg Summary • There is a strong demand for hotel rooms in Stockholm County and the growth rate in occupied rooms has increased over the last 10 years. • Despite a strong expansion of the hotel room capacity during 2017, the occupancy rate in the county has stabilized at record levels. • The potential growth in occupied rooms is increasing at a high rate, which means that the occupancy rate, average price and RevPAR in Stockholm City are forecasted to have a strong development until 2024. • Annordia's assessment is that there is a potential demand that could carry an additional 2,000 rooms, apart from the already planned rooms, by 2024 with an occupancy rate in Stockholm city of approx- imately 71 percent. • Leisure guests have accounted for 70 percent of the growth in occupied rooms over the past decade.

Abstract This study examines how and on what basis logistics centres are located in Greater Stockholm. Its purpose is to formulate a possible future scenario regarding localisations of logistics centres in Greater Stockholm in 10-15 years. Goods transports, distribution, property characteristics, market trends, investment decisions, localisation factors, potential challenges, public plans, transport infrastructure and logistics locations have been investigated in order to form a conclusion. There is a wide range of previous research on most fields mentioned above. Yet there is a gap regarding a picture of them from a market perspective applied to Stockholm’s future. The research method is qualitative, involving 31 interviews (34 respondents) representing logistics companies, goods holders, property developers, investors, consultants and municipalities; as they are making the decisions of tomorrow, i.e. “choose” the locations. The qualitative approach has been complemented with descriptions of infrastructure, regional plans and reports in order to consolidate and complement facts and opinions from the interviews. Together they provide the basis for a final analysis and discussion followed by a possible future scenario of Greater Stockholm’s major logistics locations.
