City-wide

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed to the city council that Stockholm should more actively promote green roofs, suggesting they become standard for new city-built properties, existing city properties be inventoried for installation, and a strategy be developed to assist private owners. However, the City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion for green roofs as a default, arguing that sustainable urban development measures should instead be chosen based on a comprehensive assessment of each site's specific conditions.

Center Party members proposed that Stockholm City introduce interactive, real-time snow removal maps with open API access to help residents plan winter travel and improve safety for pedestrians and cyclists. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion as it stands, citing concerns about data ownership, quality, and potential impacts on snowplow operators' work environment.

Councilors Claes Nyberg and Ismail Ali (C) proposed investigating the need for a language school for F-3 students with severe language disorders, aiming to improve their primary school readiness and provide continuity after language preschool, with speech therapists working alongside teachers. However, the Executive Board suggests rejecting this proposal, stating that existing schools already offer adequate support, making a new municipal language school unnecessary.

Jan Jönsson (L) proposed Stockholm implement an action plan for "grey zone children"—students with cognitive difficulties who struggle to meet school goals but don't qualify for adapted schooling. He argued that these students receive good support in compulsory school but often lack it in upper secondary school, leading to dropouts and social exclusion. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing the city's existing, structured, and continuously developing work for students requiring special support, deeming a separate action plan unnecessary.

Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed that Stockholm introduce "SAO jobs" (study-motivating work-life orientation), a new year-long employment model for secondary school students combining school with work experience, to be funded by replacing 1,000 summer jobs in 2026. The City Executive Board, however, recommends rejecting the reduction of summer jobs, stating that SAO jobs will already be piloted in 2026 and cater to a different target group than summer jobs.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the city investigate ways to limit high school transfers, arguing that frequent changes during the semester create student anxiety, disrupt their studies, and complicate school planning. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion by stating there's no legal basis for such restrictions, and the matter should instead be addressed by the government.

The Liberals have proposed that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy to promote sustainable construction, with a focus on wood and other low-impact materials, and review its land allocation policy to prioritize such projects. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, stating that the existing climate action plan and environmental program already provide a comprehensive strategy to reduce the construction sector's climate impact, and further documents could create confusion.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate introducing specialized humanities classes, such as philosophy and history, in high schools to offer depth for students with particular interest, mirroring existing options in math and science. However, the City Executive Board suggests rejecting this motion, deeming such an investigation unnecessary as the matter can be addressed through ongoing curriculum development efforts.

Jan Jönsson (L) has proposed that the city revise its cooperation agreement with SISAB, making the company responsible for the costs of schools' work environment and safety, such as access control systems, ventilation, and soundproofing, as school safety is currently impacted by their finances. The City Executive Board suggests answering the motion, agreeing on the importance of electronic access systems, but is hesitant to broadly transfer all financial responsibility for work environment and safety due to potential rent increases and reduced autonomy for schools.

Liberals Jan Jönsson and Anne-Lie Elfvén proposed a "Neighborhood Boost" action plan for all vulnerable areas in Stockholm, aiming to combat segregation and crime with clear goals for all involved city departments and companies, not just in Järva but also in areas like Skärholmen and Hagsätra-Rågsved. The City Executive Board and most district councils rejected the motion, arguing that existing city initiatives and budget processes already address these needs. However, the Liberals filed a reservation, maintaining that a clear, unified, and governing plan for long-term work is still lacking.

Councilor Destiny Zandi Lindgren (KD) proposed that the city investigate how school music rooms could be used as rehearsal spaces after school hours, given the shortage of such venues and the number of empty classrooms. The City Executive Board suggests responding to the motion by referencing ongoing work, as the City Administration, Culture Committee, and Education Committee believe this issue is already being addressed by an existing steering group focused on making school premises, including music rooms, available after school hours, thus rendering further investigation unnecessary.

Lovisa Hedin (KD) proposed that the city develop a strategy for villa and rowhouse areas, aiming to identify small-house development zones and guide infill with smaller homes like rowhouses over apartment buildings to preserve character and increase housing options. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, stating that current city planning, including the comprehensive plan, already addresses these issues, making a separate strategy unnecessary.

Councilor Andréa Hedin (M) proposed prohibiting take-home digital devices for younger students and primarily using books and paper for teaching and homework, also calling for city-wide guidelines on digital tool introduction. The City Executive Board recommends rejecting the motion, arguing that digital tools enhance learning and accessibility, especially for students with disabilities, and a ban could exacerbate inequality among students with varying home access to technology.

Jonas Naddebo (C) proposes that the City of Stockholm develop a strategy for Privately Owned Public Spaces (POPS), meaning public areas under private management. This would allow private property owners to develop squares, parks, or other publicly accessible spaces that are owned and managed by private actors. The motion suggests the city investigate offering increased building rights or other benefits to property owners who create high-quality public spaces.

A motion from Jan Jönsson (L) suggests Stockholm City investigate limiting the number of primary school changes, inspired by Uppsala municipality, to create more stable school choices and facilitate planning. The City Executive Office and Education Committee believe Stockholm already has school change periods to limit swaps, but legal support is lacking to restrict changes solely to term starts, and exceptions for relocating students are necessary. They contend the issue should rather be addressed to the government.

Councilors Jan Jönsson and Isabel Smedberg-Palmqvist (both L) proposed the city develop a strategy to increase access to art and culture in elderly care homes, citing its positive impact on quality of life and well-being, despite varying access. The City Executive Board suggested rejecting the motion, stating extensive work on culture for the elderly is already underway, though Jönsson (L) reserved, arguing a strategy is still needed to address the lack of equitable access across homes.

A motion from the Liberals proposed that the City of Stockholm investigate and tighten the democratic conditions for premises rental and cultural grants. The aim is to prevent anti-democratic actors from renting city premises, even in second or third hand, and to allow the city to revoke support if conditions are not met. However, the City Executive Board proposes that the motion be answered by referring to similar work already underway in the the 2025 and 2026 budgets to update guidelines and strengthen the follow-up of democratic conditions.

Jonas Naddebo (C) has proposed a motion for the City of Stockholm to review and simplify regulations for restaurants, nightclubs, and live venues, aiming to ease operations and enhance the city's appeal and safety, for example by allowing simpler year-round outdoor seating and pushing for national law changes for more flexible opening hours. However, the City Executive Board suggests that the motion be responded to by noting that the city is already actively working on these issues and that many regulatory changes require national legislation.

Kristin Jacobsson (C) proposed "Winter Help," a pilot project to assist elderly Stockholm residents with ice and snow removal outside their homes, aiming to prevent falls and social isolation by utilizing students or young people via Jobbtorg Stockholm. The City Executive Board suggests rejecting the motion, citing challenges with competition law, resource allocation, and practical implementation difficulties.

Two Moderate politicians proposed a pilot project for floating park islands in Stockholm's waters, such as Riddarfjärden or Årstaviken, to boost biodiversity, soften quays, and create new green spaces. However, the City Executive Board suggested rejecting the motion, citing existing similar initiatives, though the Moderates and Centre Party lodged reservations, arguing a pilot project is still necessary to test new solutions and improve the urban environment.
