Moderates Dennis Wedin and Henrik Virro proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a unified strategy for Facility Management to streamline property and facility services like cleaning and maintenance, aiming for cost reduction and service improvement. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion due to ongoing work and concerns from referral bodies that over-standardization could reduce flexibility, though the Moderates have filed a reservation, advocating for its approval.

A Moderate Party motion proposes making Stockholm greener and more enjoyable by identifying and transforming underutilized spaces like rooftops, areas under bridges, and new quays into new green spaces and mini-parks. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, noting that similar initiatives are already underway across various city committees and companies, while still acknowledging the importance of vibrant green meeting places.

In a motion, the Moderates Annika Elmlund and Johan Nilsson proposed that the City Planning Committee and the Land and Exploitation Committee develop an action plan to build more terraced houses and similar dwellings in Stockholm, citing a need for larger homes, especially for families with children. However, the City Executive Board recommends that the motion be responded to as dealt with, stating that these issues are already addressed within existing policy documents and ongoing planning work, even while sharing the proponents' view on the need for more multi-room homes.

Councillor Tom Hedrup (M) proposed that all Stockholm high school students visit a university at least once before graduation to boost interest in higher education, especially for those from homes without a history of university study. The City Executive Board and Education Committee, along with universities like KTH and Stockholm University, acknowledged the importance of this goal, noting existing collaborations and programs such as Vetenskapens Hus, which offers free visits and prioritizes schools from less academically advantaged areas. The majority of the City Executive Board therefore proposed dismissing the motion, citing ongoing efforts, while the Moderates reserved their position, arguing the motion's proposals should be approved to guarantee university visits for all students.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council establish Gökdalen in Farsta as a biotope protection area. The purpose is to long-term preserve the natural values and biodiversity in the approximately 12.3-hectare forest area, which contains old trees and is an important habitat for bats and forest birds, among others. The proposal has been revised after consultation, and a dialogue has taken place with Ellevio AB regarding existing power lines.

Stockholm City Council will decide on establishing Vikingaberget-Johannesdal in Skärholmen as a biotope protection area. This approximately 10.4-hectare area, featuring old-growth trees like pine and oak, provides valuable habitats for numerous animals and plants. The proposal aims to preserve its natural values and biodiversity while maintaining it as a popular recreational space for residents.

The City Council is poised to designate Hemskogen in Enskede-Årsta-Vantör as a 16.6-hectare biotope protection area to safeguard its old trees and biodiversity, crucial for recreation and the city's ecosystem. The Liberals and Centre Party have registered reservations, arguing the process was rushed and such extensive protection could significantly impact future urban development and living environments.

The City Council is proposed to establish the Åkeslund Biotope Protection Area in Bromma. This roughly 6.8-hectare area, characterized by very old trees, will be protected to preserve and develop its natural values and biodiversity. Following public consultation in winter 2026, the proposal was adjusted based on feedback, notably by excluding major utility corridors from the protected area.

The City Executive Board proposes that Trekanten in Hägersten-Älvsjö be established as a 20.4-hectare biotope protection area to safeguard the lake, its shores, and the forest south of the lake, aiming to preserve and enhance biodiversity, particularly for the rich bat fauna. Liberalerna and Centerpartiet have reserved against the proposal, arguing the protection is too extensive and may limit urban development and public safety within the recreational area.

The City Executive Board proposes establishing Kyrkhamn-Riddersvik as a new nature reserve in the Hässelby-Vällingby district. Covering approximately 137.9 hectares, the reserve aims to preserve its high natural, cultural, and recreational values while improving accessibility for outdoor activities through new paths, signage, and rest areas. Hässelby-Vällingby District Council will be responsible for the reserve's operational costs, excluding properties and public roads.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council adopt a detailed plan for Sothönan 3 and others in Aspudden, enabling about 220 new tenant-owner apartments, ground-floor commercial spaces, and a new square, street, and park. This plan, which aims to expand Aspudden's center and integrate new buildings with the area's 20th-century architecture, has undergone several adjustments after appeals, including reducing apartments from approximately 250 to 220 and modifying building volumes to increase distance from neighboring properties.

The Municipal Council will consider a proposal to adopt a detailed plan for a new subway depot in Älvsjö industrial area, essential for the planned Yellow line between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö. This depot will manage train maintenance and stabling, and includes rock tunnels for turn-around tracks, partly under Hagsätraskogen nature reserve, along with measures for cloudburst management. The City Executive Board proposes that the Municipal Council adopts the detailed plan.

The City of Stockholm and Region Stockholm are planning to approve an implementation agreement and a purchase agreement for the construction of a subway depot in Älvsjö industrial area, as part of the subway line extension between Fridhemsplan and Älvsjö. The City will sell the property Leverantören 2 to Region Stockholm for 145 million SEK, and the Region will be responsible for financing and building the depot, as well as minimizing disturbances to residents and nature during construction.

The City Council will decide on an agreement with the Nobel Center Foundation to construct a Nobel Center at Slussen, specifically at Hamnmästaren 1 in Södermalm. This center, built atop a deck over Stadsgårdsleden, will feature exhibitions, school programs, and meeting spaces, with many areas accessible without an entrance fee. The Exploitation Committee proposes approving the agreement to finalize the Slussen project and enhance Stockholm's reputation as a knowledge city and tourist destination.

The City Council is proposed to approve a framework agreement between the City of Stockholm and KTH Royal Institute of Technology to establish a research and innovation lab, Stockholm Urban Innovation Lab. This lab will focus on leveraging digitalization for sustainable urban development, strengthening the city's knowledge and competence, and using its physical environments as testbeds for new solutions. It has a 2026 budget of 4 million SEK for research and 1 million SEK to enhance the city's ability to apply the findings.

The City Executive Board proposes that Stockholm City Hall AB be approved to purchase negative emissions from Stockholm Exergi's new carbon capture plant at Värtaverket. This is intended to help Stockholm achieve its goal of becoming climate positive by 2030. The agreement is proposed to run from 2029 to 2043 for up to 120 million SEK annually.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve a revised plan for the Årstafältet project in Årsta. Due to the recession and high construction costs, the pace of housing construction will decrease from 600 to 450 units per year, meaning the project is now estimated to be completed around 2045 instead of earlier. Priority is given to phase 5 Södra, including a new subway station and an earlier completion of the park, to enhance attractiveness.

The City Council is poised to approve a revised plan for the large-scale Mälaräng urban development project in Skärholmen. This plan includes approximately 1,100 new homes, two preschools, and a F-9 school, while transforming the Bredäng interchange into urban streets. The project will be split into two phases: phase one, with 86 homes, will begin construction in 2026, while phase two is paused until economic conditions improve due to its significant investment requirements and the challenging market.

The City Council will vote on an updated implementation decision for thela project in Kista, located between Grönlandsgatan and Isafjordsgatan. This project, part of Fokus Järva, involves new office buildings, a residential building, new streets, and an upgrade to Grönlandsparken to enhance the area's attractiveness and safety. The City Development Administration proposes increasing the budget for Grönlandsparken's upgrade by approximately 10 million SEK, bringing the total project cost to 78.3 million SEK, with the Liberals supporting the development but expressing concern over rising costs and advocating for better financial control.

The City Executive Board proposes that the City Council approve the construction of a themed playground, "The Time Journey – From Sea to Home," in southern Spångadalen, between Tensta, Rinkeby, and Bromsten, costing approximately SEK 84.7 million. This park, designed in dialogue with local residents, is slated for completion in 2028, following a minority referral where the opposition criticized the project's high costs and short timeline.
