Hammarbybacken Expansion Rejected

A motion by Jonas Naddebo (C) proposed expanding Hammarbybacken with an additional peak and raising the current one using excavation spoil from subway construction, aiming to promote year-round sports and recreation and strengthen Stockholm as an event city. However, the City Executive Board rejected the motion, citing a lack of surplus excavation material and the sensitive natural values of the area, including the Nacka nature reserve, which must be considered.
