Welcome to Beyond segregation: How Nordic countries are planning for socially inclusive cities
From ghetto strategies to segregation barometers, Nordic countries are tackling urban segregation in divergent ways. A common feature, though, is that these policies and tools are all emerging against a backdrop of growing concerns about inequality and societal division in Nordic cities.
Urban segregation is increasing across the region—not only in major metropolitan areas but also in medium-sized and smaller towns. Shifting welfare regimes, global economic trends, and migration patterns are reshaping these urban landscapes. In major cities such as Stockholm, Copenhagen, Oslo, and Helsinki, socio-economic and ethnic divides are becoming increasingly visible—not just in housing but also in education, employment, and public spaces.
As these divides deepen, how are national and local governments in the Nordic Region working to foster more inclusive cities and neighbourhoods? What role do data-driven indicators, participatory planning, and urban design play?
