This report, published in April 2025, is an outcome of the project ‘Planning for Socially Mixed and Inclusive Neighbourhoods’, carried out as part of the work of the Nordic Thematic Group for Green and Inclusive Urban Development (TGA) during 2021–2024. TGA has been formed by the Nordic Committee of Senior Officials for Regional Policy (EK-R), under the Nordic Council of Ministers for Sustainable Growth. Members of TGA consist of representatives from relevant ministries, national, regional and local authorities as well as cross-border cooperation committees.
Nordregio is a leading Nordic and European research centre for regional development and planning, established by the Nordic Council of Ministers in 1997. We conduct solution-oriented and applied research, addressing current issues from both a research perspective and the viewpoint of policymakers and practitioners. Operating at the international, national, regional and local levels, Nordregio’s research covers a wide geographic scope, emphasising the Nordic and Baltic Sea Regions, Europe and the Arctic.
