Exhibitions in Stockholm, Sweden for Building & Construction

As the economic centre of Sweden, Stockholm continually undergoes a burst of building. The city’s construction industry keeps itself busy and on the cusp of exciting innovations and breakthroughs in design, sustainability and manufacturing. Most recently, the Stockholm construction industry made news with its plans for Stockholm Wood City, which is poised to be the world's largest urban construction project in wood. This ambitious venture, slated to commence construction in 2025 with the initial phase expected to conclude by 2027, is an example of imaginative innovation that serves the principles of sustainability. Covering a sprawling 250,000 square meters, Stockholm Wood City transcends the realms of conventional construction. At the heart of this colossal project is a mission to set new standards for the real estate sector, recognizing its significant contribution of 40% to global CO2 emissions. Located in Sickla, southern Stockholm, this avant-garde neighborhood is going to launch a new era for urban planning in the capital. With plans to introduce 2000 residences and 7000 business spaces, Stockholm Wood City envisions a holistic urban environment, seamlessly blending residences, workplaces, commercial establishments and dining spaces. The decision to embrace wooden structures aligns with a plethora of environmental and well-being benefits. Extensive studies have underscored the superior air quality and positive impact on human health associated with timber structures. Additionally, wood serves as a carbon sink, contributing to carbon dioxide sequestration and mitigating the carbon footprint. Beyond the environmental advantages of wood, Stockholm Wood City adopts a strategic focus on office spaces. This approach aims to address the shortage of workplaces south of Stockholm's central business district. By prioritizing resource-efficient construction techniques and circular material flows, Atrium Ljungberg seeks to redefine the role of urban developers, translating sustainability from just an aspiration to a foundational principle.
