This project develops, tests and demonstrates ways in which various forms of cooperation between property owners, residents and others can work together to reduce energy and other resource use in a residential area using interdisciplinary action research. The project’s aim is to create inspiring and repeatable examples for how resource efficiency can be achieved within a neighbourhood by involving and activating the people who live and work there.
The project is owned by Stockholm’s (and Sweden’s) largest public housing company, Stockholmshem, who implements the project in collaboration with Sustainable Innovation AB. SEI is responsible for the action research component and a number of the project’s sub-activities.
One of the sub-activities which SEI has responsibility over is a network of “local sustainability ambassadors”. This network will have an important function in shaping the activities and for ensuring broad acceptance and take up of measures and social practices by residents at the local level.
