Welcome to 2030

Building for Tomorrow

Building for tomorrow means building for the people and planet that we want to succeed. We are delivering on sustainable construction and design that supports and enables our community and local industry for a better future.

As Skellefteå grows, we are focused on building new homes, schools, and social spaces that reduce emissions, use renewable materials and allow everyone in Skellefteå to prosper.

When you look around Skellefteå in 2030 you’ll see our symbiotic approach to nature encompassed in our wooden buildings. What you might not see is the smart and renewable technology that underpins our new structures and the social bonds in our community built on our architecture and meeting spaces.

Clean and Green Buildings account for a lot of our carbon emissions. Today we’re pushing the boundaries of carbon-neutral construction and energy efficiency.

Innovative and Prosperous As a leading city in wooden construction, we’re innovating the latest designs and boosting our local industries.

Equal Skellefteå is built for everyone, and we’re working to ensure the young, elderly and disabled are given the best housing opportunities.

Smart Our buildings, old and new, are using the technology in their design and operation to make them more efficient and enjoyable places to be.

Affordable The homes we’re building to accommodate new Skellefteåens are first and foremost affordable, meaning greater access for all.
