In its research paper, ‘The Density Dividend: solutions for growing and shrinking cities’, the Urban Land Institute (ULI) highlights six factors that determine a city’s likely success in managing and boosting population density. For Stockholm, very strong factors include a transit-oriented development strategy, and an approach to planning beyond the city’s borders. Good factors include fiscal flexibility, a durable city plan, district agencies/development corporations and a national planning framework.
