Campus development

From development programme to shared vision
Flemingsberg has been identified as a key district in the regional development plan for Stockholm, RUFS 2050. This involves investment in sustainable, urban settings where businesses choose to locate, and environments characterized by multi-purpose buildings, a variety of housing types and bold architectural styles. Flemingsberg is also being developed in ways that capitalize on its excellent public transport access.
The development programme for Flemingsberg incorporates the following goals for Campus Flemingsberg:
