Urban Tech Sweden and Urban Systems (urbs) are synchronizing projects in New York and New Delhi with a new ”innovation district” that includes Hammarby Sjöstad.

“Hammarby Sjöstad” in Yantai, China

A new district is being built in the large coastal city of Yantai, 750 km east of Beijing. The first stage comprises 2,000 homes and a total of approximately 50,000 apartments, ie a district about four times as large as Hammarby Sjöstad.

The customer is White Peak Real Estate, a Swedish-owned company that in a short time has become the largest European urban developer in China. White Peak and Yantai city has chosen Hammarby Sjöstad as a model for this project. Swedish companies as Sweco, Envac, ABB, Assa Abloy and others contribute to an Eco City Alliance with knowledge and solutions to make this new district an example in terms of sustainable urban development in China.

Urbs och Hudson Square Properties

Urbs is the commercial part of the export organization Urban Tech Sweden and has a close collaboration with ElectriCITY.

Urbs´ latest project is to help develop Hudson Square Properties in Manhattan, New York. NYC has new energy legislation with highly set standards on properties’ energy efficiency. The system that Urbs can present already today reduce climate emissions by up to 80%, which is NYC’s goal for the year 2050.

UTS – Urban Tech Sweden

Hammarby Sjöstad stands as a model for a new climate-neutral district that is being built in India. The new district, which will be built on a large undeveloped land area at Dehli Airport, will include housing, offices, schools and hospitals. The agreements signed between the stakeholders are the beginning of a long-term relationship between Swedish and Indian industry to develop cities in line with the global sustainability goals. The Swedish side will also contribute with a financing platform.

Smart City Sweden

The city of Stockholm began to reduce the international sight-seeings of Hammarby Sjöstad and draw visitors to Norra Djurgårdsstaden. ElectriCITY then took the initiative to establish Hammarby Sjöstad as an export platform, ie a more a business-oriented approach with the aim to promote Swedish export. Smart City Sweden has been in place at Hammarby Kaj 18 since 2017 with IVL Swedish Environmental Institute as mandator and with the Swedish Energy Agency as financier. ElectriCITY is a partner in this work and presents Hammarby Sjöstad 2.0.

Match Making

Meetings between small innovative companies and large users of cleantech. These recurring events have also created international interest from China, India, the United States and Europe.

The website contains 47 filmed innovations in smart energy, sustainable transport, cultivation and water.
