Beyond segregation: Nordic approaches to socially inclusive cities

The Nordregio study focuses on four main themes:

1. The first theme concerns what the Nordic policy landscape looks like in terms of policies aimed at counteracting segregation and promoting social inclusion in cities.
2. The second relates to the role of indicators and data.
3. The third theme explores the public participation and citizen involvement policies, strategies and planning approaches used in Nordic cities to strengthen inclusion in both newly built and existing neighbourhoods.
4. The fourth theme concerns the role of architecture and design, and more specifically the built environment interventions employed by cities in response to the challenges of urban segregation and social inclusion.

The Nordregio study relies on a multi-case study approach, investigating 13 city cases across the five Nordic countries.
