Hammarbybacken Expansion Rejected Due to Nature Protection

Councillor Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding Hammarbybacken with an additional peak and raising the existing one using excavation spoil from subway construction, aiming to create a larger area for winter and summer activities and enable Stockholm to host more sports events. However, the City Executive Board rejected the proposal, stating there is no surplus spoil available and emphasizing the need to protect the significant natural values of the area surrounding Hammarbybacken.
