A COMPREHENSIVE PROCESS

Stockholm City Plan is the result of a comprehensive process which has included programme work, consultation, and presentation to the public. Work began in the City Planning Administration as early as 1993. The City Planning Committee approved a programme for the work in February 1994.

A draft proposal for a new Stockholm City Plan was prepared in 1995 and there was broad consultation and circulation of the proposal for comment from September 1995 to March 1996. The consultations resulted in a strong, positive response to the proposal's basic idea to build Stockholm inwards, but they also gave reason for comprehensive revisions.

The results of the consultations were presented to the City Planning Committee, which, in December 1996, commissioned the City Planning Administration to put a proposal for the new City Plan on display to the public in accordance with the regulations in the Planning and Building Act.

The proposed Stockholm City Plan was on display to the public during September-October 1997. The result of the display was presented to the City Planning Committee in April 1998 together with alterations proposed by the City Planning Administration.

In May 1998 the City Planning Committee approved the proposal and forwarded it to the City Council for adoption.

Once adopted, the City Plan will serve as guidelines for the planning of the development of the City, for local planning, and in connection with the granting of building permission. The new City Plan will replace the present Plan from 1990.

Programmes for 24 City Districts supplement the Stockholm City Plan
Separate from the City Plan there is a presentation of what are called "area programmes" for Stockholm's 24 City Districts. These programmes serve as a basis for a continued dialogue on broad issues between the public, the City District Committees, the City Planning Administration and other administrations. The programmes do not form part of the formal Stockholm City Plan.
