Abstract

For Stockholm a smart city is quite simply a city that utilizes digitalization and new technology to simplify and improve the life of its residents, visitors, and businesses and to offer the highest quality of life and the best environment for business.

The way forward to make Stockholm a smart and connected city is to, via innovation, openness, and connectivity, make the city more economically, ecologically, democratically, and socially sustainable. A smart city is also a sustainable city reaching the city’s goals to be sustainable from different aspects such as being fossil fuel-free by 2040 and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In 2019, the city received the Smart City Award for its GrowSmarter project at the Smart City Expo World Congress in Barcelona. The Swedish capital was commended for its “innovation, openness, and connectivity” and efforts to improve living conditions for residents.
