Stockholm integrates urban green infrastructure and ecosystem services in the new city plan

Stockholm adopted a new urban plan.  Making use of the assets that the city’s green spaces represent and  developing parks and areas of countryside is an intrinsic part of the plan. As Stockholm’s population grows, initiatives are needed to improve the city’s green spaces, make them more accessible and add additional new parks.  The plan contains more details of how to deploy Stockholm's blue green infrastructure, create a network of habitats for specific species and enhance urban ecosystem services. 

The English version of the city plan is available here. The parks and green areas are dealt with both in all the City planning goals (p. 20-27) and in the chapter “Green city on the water” (p.86-89).
