City Development Department
The City Development Department's role is to ensure sustainable community building and meet the City’s housing target of 140,000 homes by 2030 with associated infrastructure and public services.
The Department has overall responsibility for the management and development of the City's land within the City boundaries. The City of Stockholm owns approximately 70% of all land within the City.
The City Development Department develops and manages the City’s total land holdings in order to ensure a sustainable expansion of the City. This responsibility includes the development of residential and commercial areas, as well as the City’s investments in streets and parks within the framework of development projects.
Stockholm aims to be fossil fuel-free by 2040 at the latest, and the City Development Department will contribute to creating physical structures that make it easy to live and travel in an environment-friendly way and that reduce transport operations.
