Hammarby Sjöstad
– The Eco-cycle City Area
Saturday 26 August, 09:00–13:00
This new residential area represents the most advanced
eco-cycle oriented city planning project in Stockholm.
High environmental goals have been set for energy, water,
sewage and solid waste management. Building material
and processes have been selected in order not to harm
the environment. New high-tech solutions are being used
to generate energy, handle solid waste and save water.
Stormwater is taken care of and treated so that it will be a
clean, attractive contribution to the area. The spectacular
glasshouse is the advanced information and communication
centre for inhabitants, building companies, etc.

Sätra Gård
– Recycling Thinking and Methods
Saturday 26 August, 09:00–13:00
In a beautiful natural environment near to Stockholm is
Sätra Gård. Here, very near to the Högbytorps waste treatment
facility, Ragn-Sells operates a unique conference facility
that offers the latest in modern, holistic recycling thinking
and methods. Sätra Gård is a complete experience which is
based on three cornerstones: education, development and
experience. World Water Week participants are welcome to
see how residual products and waste are handled and refined
in a problem-free manner and used as secondary raw material,
fuel and soil conditioner. Don’t miss the opportunity to
see recycling principles in action through waste minimisation,
source separation, reuse and recycling (including energy
recovery) and safe disposal of untreatable wastes. All
of this is on display at Sätra Gård.

The Office of Regional Planning and Urban Transportation
(RTK) is responsible for regional spatial planning
in the Stockholm County and will present how water issues
are represented in the Regional Development Plan
for the Stockholm region. A look at the demands placed
by the EU Water Framework Directive will also be a part
of the discussion. RTK also deals with issues concerning
the environment, nature conservation, rural areas and the
Stockholm archipelago, including monitoring and initiation
of structural issues for Stockholm County and the
region around Lake Mälaren. RTK also cooperates internationally
within the area of regional development.
