Making Homes Cooler for Seniors

The Environmental Administration has responded to the Municipal Board's referral regarding an action plan to make Stockholm a more age-friendly city. The Administration approves the plan but emphasizes the importance of climate adaptation in homes and urban environments, especially given the vulnerability of older people during heatwaves. They want the city to more clearly consider indoor climate when planning new housing for seniors, to avoid the high-temperature problems often seen in newly built apartments.
