Future-Proofing Nordic Construction

This report presents a set of recommendations to shift the Nordic construction sector towards operating within the planetary boundaries. The recommendations have been extracted from nearly three years of extensive collaboration with stakeholders across the construction sector, including urban planners, architects, engineers, policymakers, and activists. Through debates, interviews, and roundtable discussions, participants shaped a set of recommendations to guide the next five years of the Nordic Vision 2030. Addressing the profound systemic and cultural challenges of the construction sector requires more than legislation and technological solutions. Discussions have elevated beyond immediate solutions, exploring ecological economics, life-centric worldviews, and redefining the concept of a "good life" based on culture and social connectedness.
