Hagastaden is one of Stockholm’s largest and most important urban development projects. It is an important aspect of the city’s implementation of Vision 2030 in creating an innovative and growing region.

Until 2025, the former Norra Station area will be developed into an entirely new neighborhood with apartments, workplaces, cultural attractions and green areas. More than 3 000 apartments are being built on the Stockholm side, and there will be around 13 000 workplaces as well as cente with restaurants and cafés.

Hagastaden is emerging in both Stockholm and Solna, and it is being integrated with the New Karolinska Solna University Hospital, which will open in 2016. The hospital will be a centre of excellence for the Swedish and European health-care systems. Meanwhile, the entire area is being developed as one of the world’s leading centres for life science and biotechnology.

By moving segments of the European Highway E4/E20 and the Värtabanan railway to tunnels, the landscape can be developed and transformed into a vibrant and attractive area - serving as the home and workplace to thousands of people.
