Focus 2017: Green and Grand City
The citizens of Gothenburg wished for more green areas in more places in the city. That is why there has been extra focus during 2017 on the city's wide range of parks and gardens, but at the same time focus on new green initiatives.
The focus has its origins in the ideas of the citizens of Gothenburg, which have been the foundation of the focus year 2017. The activities are based on social, ecological and economic sustainability with investments in health, lifestyle, food and safety.
