Inclusive Cities: Spotlight on Sweden

INTRODUCTION

ELEVATING URBAN INCLUSIVITY

The Inclusive Cities Barometer evaluates the inclusiveness of 44 cities across EMEA, including Stockholm.

According to the report, Stockholm and Gothenburg are leading examples of urban inclusivity, along with other major cities in Northern Europe. This highlights the cities strengths in inclusiveness, though there are still areas requiring enhancement in social initiatives.

Through 110 detailed metrics spanning economic, social, spatial, and environmental dimensions, the barometer offers comprehensive insights into each city's inclusiveness. By leveraging over 4,000 data points, it quantifies social impact and guides cities towards greater inclusivity.
