Stockholm Vatten AB plans to reduce its ownership in the wastewater treatment company Syvab AB from approximately 33 percent to 14 percent, as some of Stockholm's wastewater will instead be treated at Henriksdal. Concurrently, the municipalities of Ekerö and Trosa are joining Syvab, allowing the Himmerfjärden plant to treat more wastewater overall. This change significantly lowers the City of Stockholm's guarantee commitment in Syvab from SEK 860 million to SEK 225 million.

The City of Stockholm has adopted an action plan to become a more age-friendly city, ensuring older residents have the same rights as others. This involves improvements in areas like participation, housing, urban environment, social inclusion, and communication, aiming to combat ageism and make the city safer and more accessible for its elderly population.

The City of Stockholm plans to renovate and expand Lillholmsskolan in Skärholmen for 461.7 million SEK, providing new school premises, facilities for students with special needs, and a new sports hall to replace temporary buildings and accommodate more students. While the sports hall will serve both the school and local associations, the Moderates and Liberals criticize the decision, arguing it replaces a planned sports facility at Vårbergs IP that would have better served community organizations.

The City of Stockholm has provided feedback on the Masmo Tunnel, a component of the planned Tramway South. The city emphasizes the need for clearer investigations into environmental impacts, such as groundwater effects and pollution, and stresses the importance of adhering to the project budget. Tramway South aims to enhance public transport and facilitate urban development in southern Stockholm by connecting Flemingsberg and Skärholmen with eight stops and a depot, contributing to 18,500 new homes in Huddinge municipality.

Stockholm City Council is set to decide on implementing an alcohol ban along parts of Fleminggatan and Sankt Eriksgatan in Kungsholmen. This measure aims to increase safety and reduce issues like littering, vandalism, and threatening situations, as the area has been designated an open drug scene since 2017. The proposal, from the Kungsholmen District Council and supported by the City Executive Office, seeks to complement existing crime prevention efforts.

The City of Stockholm has approved a private individual's application to the Swedish Transport Agency for a civilian helipad on Bergholmen island in Lidingö municipality, noting no direct negative impact on Stockholm residents or the environment. A noise assessment confirms compliance with regulations, and while a nature inventory identified values to consider, the City Management Office and relevant City Commissioner support the proposal, emphasizing the importance of sustainable transport.

The City Executive Board will appoint Sidrah Schaider as their representative to vote at general meetings for Stockholm City Hall AB and other wholly or partly owned companies, such as Svenska Bostäder and Stockholm Vatten och avfall AB. This representative will approve annual reports, decide on profit/loss management, and set board fees for 2026. Board fees for major companies, like Stockholm City Hall AB, will be SEK 92,500 for the chair and SEK 37,000 for a regular member, a slight increase from 2025, based on the adjusted price base amount and consistent with city committee principles.

The City of Stockholm has responded to the County Administrative Board's evacuation plan for a nuclear accident, such as at Forsmark. While the City welcomes the planning, it rejects the current design, finding it unclear regarding municipal responsibilities and lacking information on the number of residents Stockholm may need to accommodate, which hinders preparations.

The City of Stockholm welcomes the proposal to build a data center and server halls on the Akalla 4:8 property within the Akalla business area. This project aligns with the Stockholm Data Parks initiative, which aims to establish green server halls where surplus heat can be recovered for the district heating network. The City emphasizes that a future environmental impact assessment must also address potential effects on new residential areas and natural values near Akalla.

The Ministry of Finance has proposed changes to public procurement laws, aiming to allow the exclusion of suppliers from non-EU countries without free trade agreements. Stockholm City supports this proposal, which also seeks to facilitate avoiding suppliers from "antagonistic states" in procurements concerning critical infrastructure and supply readiness. The amendments are slated to come into effect on January 1, 2027.

The City of Stockholm welcomes Region Stockholm's proposed Life Science strategy for the Stockholm-Uppsala region, aiming to make it a world-leading hub for medical and biotech research and business, bringing more jobs, investments, and better healthcare. However, the city emphasizes the need to clarify the role of municipalities, leverage existing collaborations, and involve the private sector to ensure the strategy's success and concrete implementation.

The Ministry of Finance has asked the City of Stockholm to comment on a proposal from the Gigabit Inquiry, which aims to accelerate and reduce the cost of broadband, fiber, and 5G expansion nationwide. The City of Stockholm opposes forcing municipal bodies to share their infrastructure without being able to prioritize municipal needs and critical societal functions. The City also rejects the proposal to fund a central information point for this with an annual fee for network providers.

Liberal politicians proposed increasing access to art and culture in Stockholm's elder care homes, arguing it could improve quality of life and combat loneliness, as current offerings vary. The City of Stockholm responded that extensive work is already underway through initiatives like "Culture for Seniors" and Stockholm Art placements, deeming a new strategy unnecessary and preferring to develop existing efforts.

This detailed development plan allows for the construction of about 320 new homes, a five-unit preschool, and a new park in Mariehäll, Stockholm, aiming to create new meeting places and connections within the district. While it involves demolishing a culturally significant yellow-classified building and removing some trees with natural value, the city believes the benefits of new housing, social infrastructure, and green spaces outweigh these drawbacks.

The Stockholm City Council will decide on a new detailed development plan for Smedshagen in Hässelby villastad. The plan aims to build approximately 500 new homes, including both rental and tenant-owner apartments, on areas currently used mostly for parking. New parking solutions will be arranged in garages, and new sidewalks and services will be created along Växthusvägen and Mäster Karls väg to make the area more vibrant and safe.

The City of Stockholm has been invited to comment on plans for the Delta North offshore wind farm, which Zephyr Renewable AB proposes to build approximately 55 kilometers east of Sandhamn. This large-scale project, comprising up to 105 wind turbines each reaching 330 meters, aims to increase Sweden's fossil-free electricity supply. While the City supports wind power expansion, it requests an investigation into potential conflicts with shipping.

Stockholm City Council will decide on taking over responsibility for new streets, parks, quays, and a quay bath in Marievik, Liljeholmen. This is part of a large development project with approximately 960 new homes and 27,000 square meters of commercial space. Property owners covered the construction costs, but the city will now take over operations, estimated at around 21 million SEK annually for operation and maintenance; the quay bath opened in 2025, with all public areas expected to be completed by 2031.

Stockholm's City Executive Board has approved a proposal to construct approximately 320 new homes and a preschool in the Mariehäll district, near Bällstavägen. Parts of the current industrial and office area will be transformed into residential zones and new parks. The project, named Enigheten, includes selling municipal land to Peab Bostad AB for 158 homes and the preschool, estimated to generate 160.1 million SEK for the city.

The Stockholm City Executive Board has approved the implementation of a project at Lingvägen in Farsta/Hökarängen, which will see the construction of 137 new tenant-owned apartments in three point blocks. This project also paves the way for a future expansion of Kvickentorpsskolan and a new preschool, alongside improved pedestrian and cycling paths between the districts. The Sweden Democrats reserved their position, proposing the area be used for a football pitch instead.

The City Council is proposed to revoke the overarching "Fokus Skärholmen" decision, which encompassed 16 urban development projects with the potential for approximately 7,200 new homes. This is due to difficulties in project follow-up and a deteriorating market, rendering several projects unprofitable. Moving forward, individual project follow-up will occur, with four active projects—Ålgrytevägen, Kråksätra, Östra Bredäng, and Sätra centrum—recommended for their own specific directives to continue, including 900 new homes at Ålgrytevägen. Liberals and Christian Democrats criticize the lack of progress and poor economics, arguing Skärholmen is falling behind.
