The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council establish the Kyrkhamn-Riddersvik Nature Reserve, covering approximately 137.9 hectares in the Hässelby-Vällingby district. This reserve aims to protect valuable nature, culture, and recreation areas, including parts of Kyrkhamn, Hässelby allotment area, Riddersvik's English park, and a portion of Lake Mälaren, while also enhancing outdoor recreation and considering a buffer zone for a future Lövsta heating plant.

The City Council will decide on an agreement with Region Stockholm concerning the construction of a subway depot in the industrial area of Älvsjö, which is essential for the new subway line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö. Additionally, it's proposed that the city sells the property Leverantören 2 in Älvsjö to Region Stockholm for 145 million SEK to facilitate the depot construction.

The City Council will consider a proposal to enter into an agreement with the Nobel Center Foundation. This involves the use of land for a ground lease, enabling the construction of the new Nobel Center on the property Hamnmästaren 1 in Södermalm.

The City Council is poised to approve a framework agreement between the City of Stockholm and KTH Royal Institute of Technology to launch the "Stockholm Urban Innovation Lab." This initiative aims to bolster the city's efforts in digitalization for sustainable urban development through research and innovation. Four million SEK is proposed for the lab's funding in 2026, with an additional one million SEK allocated for the city to assimilate and disseminate the results.

Stockholm Stadshus AB is proposed to purchase "negative emissions" from Stockholm Exergi's new carbon capture facility at Energihamnen near Värtaverket. This aims to help the city achieve its climate goal of becoming climate positive by 2030. The agreement is proposed to run from 2029 to 2043, at a maximum cost of 120 million SEK per year.

The City Council will consider a revised policy decision for the Årstafältet project in Årsta. Due to the economic downturn and high construction costs, the proposed building pace will be reduced from 600 to 450 homes per year, extending the project until approximately 2045. Priority is now given to Stage 5 Södra, including the subway station and park, with its implementation moved forward.

The City Council is set to decide on the Mälaräng project in Skärholmen, which includes about 1,100 new homes, two preschools, a school, and new retail space, aiming to connect Bredäng and Mälarhöjden by transforming current road infrastructure into urban streets. While Phase 1, with construction of 86 homes starting in 2026, proceeds, Phase 2 is paused due to high infrastructure costs and difficulties securing developers. The Exploitation Committee proposes allocating 12.6 million SEK to complete planning for Phase 2 and renew agreements, allowing work to resume when conditions improve, a proposal the Christian Democrats oppose, arguing that further investment in Phase 2, which they believe is already a taxpayer loss, should be rejected.

The City Council is set to vote on a revised plan for Project Hekla in Kista, which includes new office buildings, a residential building, new streets, and an upgrade to Grönlandsparken. The Exploitation Committee proposes increasing the park's renovation budget by approximately SEK 10 million to make it a more attractive, accessible, and safe meeting place with improved lighting and new pathways, while the Liberals express concern over the increased costs and demand better financial control.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve the construction of a themed playground in southern Spångadalen, between Tensta, Rinkeby, and Bromsten, at an estimated cost of 84.7 million SEK, to be completed by 2028. The matter was previously sent back by the opposition due to concerns over high costs and a tight timeline, but the City Management Office deems the cost reasonable given the project's purpose and ambition.

The City Council is set to approve a decision to refurbish and develop the promenade along Karlbergskanalen, part of the popular Kungsholmen loop. This project aims to widen the promenade, improve ground stability in areas prone to landslides, and enhance local biodiversity, with an estimated cost of 72 million SEK. Construction is slated to begin in autumn 2027 and conclude by summer 2029.

Liberal party members have proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy to keep rents for community centers, association premises, and citizens' houses at a low and sustainable level, arguing that high rents threaten associational life and civil society. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the city is already addressing similar issues, including an inquiry into the Culture Committee acting as primary tenant for certain venues, and that the city cannot control rent levels for private property owners.

Liberal party members propose "cultural sound zones" in Stockholm, like the Slakthusområdet, to allow higher noise levels at night and protect cultural venues alongside housing. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing limitations from current laws, but emphasizes that the city is already actively supporting cultural and entertainment life.

A motion by Anders Edin (SD) proposed protecting Carl Bonde's forest in Hässelby from development and designating it a municipal nature reserve, citing resident concerns and the importance of preserving green spaces. However, the City Executive Board, based on responses from relevant committees, proposes rejecting the motion. They argue that a balance between conservation and housing development is achievable and that the issue will be addressed within ongoing work on a new comprehensive plan and a strategy for protecting natural areas, meaning no immediate halt to all development or nature reserve establishment.

The City Executive Board proposes forming Kista Utveckling AB under Stockholms Stadshus AB to coordinate urban development, business collaboration, and place-making in Kista. This aims to boost the area's appeal by transforming it from an office district into a vibrant mixed-use city with more housing, parks, and meeting places, while also attracting new businesses and investments, especially in AI, defense, and green tech.

Nike Örbrink (KD) proposed establishing a long-range shooting range for hunters to improve training and strengthen preparedness, citing a scarcity of such facilities in the region. However, several municipal departments deemed it difficult to locate a suitable site within city limits due to significant land requirements, safety distances, noise concerns, and competition with other land uses like housing and recreation. The City Executive Board therefore suggests rejecting the motion due to these challenges.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB held a meeting on May 8, 2026, where they approved two status reports: "Status Report SFA Compressed May 2026" and "Status Report SFV April 2026". These reports were subsequently forwarded to Stockholms Stadshus AB for their information.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is recommended to approve an update including several consultation responses and a report, notably a review of Syvab’s financial vulnerability. This review confirms Syvab's economy is vulnerable due to significant investments, high debt, and altered ownership, despite the ability to cover increased costs via higher fees. The Board is advised to improve long-term financial governance, scenario planning, and dialogue with owner municipalities to mitigate this vulnerability.

The Board of Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is to approve a five-year report on Bornsjön's status as a water source. This report, produced approximately every five years, compiles measurements to track the lake's development as a raw water source and surface water body, showing both positive and negative trends. For instance, nutrient levels are decreasing in inflowing water but are slightly rising in the lake due to historical pollution, underscoring the ongoing importance of protecting Bornsjön's water protection area.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB is proposed to approve its annual environmental reports for 2025. These reports detail how recycling centers in Bromma, Lövsta, Vantör, and Östberga, along with the sorting facility in Högdalen (Resursutvinning Stockholm, RUS), have met environmental permits and utilized internal controls to minimize negative environmental impact. For the Högdalen sorting facility, zinc levels in stormwater exceeded guidelines, and an action plan involving source investigation and potential additional treatment will be developed.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall's board is set to approve the 2025 environmental reports for wastewater operations across Stockholm, Huddinge, and six neighboring municipalities, as well as for the Valsta sludge interim storage facility in Haninge. These reports confirm adherence to current permits and conditions, showing reduced emissions of phosphorus, nitrogen, and organic matter, alongside a decrease in overflowed water volume compared to previous years. This indicates effective wastewater treatment and the company's commitment to minimizing its environmental impact.
