The Culture Committee is set to review an application for 2 million SEK in support for concert promoter Selam to establish two new music venues in Marievik, Liljeholmen. These venues, slated to open in March 2027, will host a diverse program of global music including concerts, clubs, festivals, literary evenings, art exhibitions, and stand-up, targeting a broad urban audience. The Culture Administration recommends approving the funding, deeming that the establishment will enrich Stockholm's cultural offerings and strengthen the city as a cultural destination.

The Culture Administration proposes that the Culture Committee grant an additional SEK 656,000 to Mittiprickteatern economic association and Teatergruppen Pero economic association. These funds are for cultural programs in preschools and schools during 2026, as part of the Kulanpremien initiative, and are crucial due to high demand. The total amount exceeds what the administration can approve independently.

The City Planning Committee has decided on a zoning plan proposal for Skarpnäck sports field to allow a new sports facility combining a sports hall, ice rink, and swimming pool at Skarpnäcks Gård 1:1. This new facility will replace the existing sports hall and aims to improve safety and connections between Skarpnäck, Pungpinan, and Bagarmossen via a new pedestrian and bicycle path.

Council member Desirée Johansson highlighted deficiencies in decision documents for planning matters, specifically how green spaces are presented. She argued the documents too narrowly focus on biotope protection and stormwater, neglecting crucial values like recreation, play, shade, and local climate. The subsequent discussion also pointed out that cultural-historical values and overall ecological connectivity are frequently missing from these documents.

The Council decided on the program for its 2026 outing and dinner. The day will include a visit to the City Library to learn about its ongoing renovation, and a stop in Hagastaden where former member and landscape architect Anders Jönsson will present Timglasparken, designed by his firm.

The Municipal Executive Board's Senior Citizens' Council noted incoming documents, including minutes from previous meetings, and discussed an action plan for an age-friendly city focusing on participation, collaboration, and accessibility for Stockholm's elderly. The Council was also informed about an invitation from Region Stockholm to participate in a survey on digital prescription renewal, aimed at improving residents' digital interaction with healthcare.

At the Hässelby-Vällingby City District Council meeting on April 23, 2026, new alternate members were appointed to the city district administration's pensioner council. Wivian Lindberg was appointed as an alternate for the National Organization of Pensioners (PRO) and Barbro Erlandsson as an alternate for the Swedish Pensioners' Association (SPF).

Divisional Manager Marie Lissäng reported no new complaints since the last Pensioners' Council, though the Security Service reported six incidents concerning key issues and personal alarms. The ordering unit for elderly care is now also available at Vällingby Health Centre, and upcoming events like the district competition and politician interrogations were announced, where citizens can ask questions about home care, nursing homes, and other elderly care matters.

The council addressed the potential abolition of the Freedom of Choice Act (LOV) but noted the matter had not yet reached the district. The district also reported that summer staffing plans look good, and they now have fewer intermittent employees than the city's benchmark.

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.

Micasa Fastigheter and the Hägersten-Älvsjö City District Committee propose to decommission Fruängsgården service house in building C at Fruängsgården 1 and convert it into a nursing home with 97 apartments, due to increased demand for nursing care and decreased demand for service housing. The project, expected to start in 2030 and finish in 2031, requires extensive renovation and the temporary relocation of current residents.

The City Council will vote on a proposal to close Trekanten service house, which has 100 apartments, in Gröndal. The property, Trehörningen 1, owned by Micasa Fastigheter, requires extensive renovation and is proposed to be converted into a care home with 92 apartments to meet the city's growing need for elderly care places. The project is planned for 2027–2030, and current residents will be offered priority for other housing options.

Micasa Fastigheter and the Skarpnäck City District Board propose building a new 80-unit care home in the Bergholmsbacken project in Bagarmossen, which will also include facilities for day activities and a senior meeting point. Due to the project's extensive cost of over 300 million SEK, the municipal council must approve it, with construction planned for 2027 and occupancy by late 2029.

The City Council will consider a proposal to approve AB Familjebostäder's renovation of the property Draget 1 on Södermalm. This project, encompassing 178 homes and twelve commercial premises, involves renewing aging installations like water, sewage, electricity, and elevators, along with common areas such as laundry rooms. The total investment is estimated at 434 million SEK, and tenants will be temporarily relocated, later offered choices for kitchen renovation levels.

The City Council will consider a proposal for a new functional program for preschool premises. This program will guide the construction of new preschools and the renovation and expansion of existing ones, ensuring high quality and consistency across Stockholm's preschools by providing guidelines on aspects like typical preschool size (4-8 departments), on-site kitchens, and outdoor environments. The Preschool Committee will also decide on and update supplementary support materials for the program.

The City Council is expected to decide that the Real Estate Committee may carry out an extensive renovation of the former Kämpingeskolan in Tensta, to create a new administrative office for the Järva city district administration. This office will consolidate approximately 640 employees, with the project slated for completion by the end of 2028. The proposal is anticipated to reduce the city district committee's rental costs compared to their current divided premises, and the refurbishment of an existing property is considered both ecologically and economically sustainable.

The City Council is set to decide on a zoning plan for Sothönan 3 and surrounding properties in Aspudden. This proposal includes about 220 new tenant-owner apartments, ground-floor commercial spaces, and a new square, street, and park. The plan has been adjusted, following an appeal and overturning by the Land and Environment Court, by moving gables further from neighboring properties and narrowing buildings to reduce the number of homes from approximately 250 to 220.

The City Council is set to make a directional decision to build a new Husbybadet on the Bislet 1 property, as the current bath has extensive structural defects. The new facility will feature a 25-meter pool with eight lanes, two teaching pools, an adventure bath, a gym, and group training rooms. Construction is planned to start in early 2028 and be completed by the second quarter of 2031, with the old bath remaining open during construction; the total budget for this project is estimated to exceed 300 million SEK.

The City Council is proposed to designate Gökdalen in Farsta, a 12.3-hectare forest with old-growth trees, as a biotope protection area to preserve and develop natural values and biodiversity, strengthening its role within the Hanveden wedge and the city's green infrastructure. However, the Liberals and Centre Party have reservations, arguing that the protection could limit future urban development and that the process has been rushed.

The City Council proposes to establish the Vikingaberget-Johannesdal biotope protection area in Skärholmen. This approximately 10.4-hectare area features ancient trees, including an old pine forest on Vikingaberget and oak stands in Johannesdal. The purpose is to preserve the natural values and biodiversity, while also maintaining the area as a cherished recreational space for residents.
