Safer Public Spaces: More Lighting, Revitalization, Crime Prevention

The City of Stockholm is allocating 77.1 million SEK in 2026 for safety-enhancing measures in public spaces, funding improvements such as lighting, place revitalization, and crime prevention. Forty-six of fifty applications from various committees and districts were approved to increase safety in areas perceived as insecure, especially those identified by police as vulnerable or at risk of becoming open drug scenes.
