Integrated Land Use and Transport Analysis: Experiences from Nordic Urban Areas
Welcome to Stockholm on 16 June 2025, 9.00-16.00 CEST for a Nordic knowledge-exchange workshop on digital planning tools for land use and transportation.
This workshop is an opportunity to share and discuss experiences on land use and transport interaction analysis and planning in Nordic countries. It will lay the foundation for a common understanding of how these types of analyses are made in the different countries and form a basis for looking at possible areas for cooperation.
The workshop is arranged by the Norwegian planning and transport authorities and hosted at Nordregio (Holmamiralens Torg 10, 111 49). Attendance is also possible online from 9.00-14.45. This work is supported by the Nordic Council of Ministers.
