Taking the Knowledge Agenda for Sustainable Urban Development a step forward
During 2015 the Swedish cities Stockholm, Gothenburg and Malmö collectively developed a common knowledge agenda for sustainable urban development. It covers challenges and knowledge gaps within the field of urban development. One of the results from the work with the Knowledge Agenda for Sustainable Urban Development is the Swedish governments new research bill, which have a strong focus on urban issues. This is off course a result which many different actors have contributed to.
