City Strategy

Vision: An attractive and successful growth city 2030
The city’s appeal is built on a unique history, a sustainable economy, diverse culture, a blend of rural and urban environments, and a safe, child-friendly everyday life.

Values: Boldly and positively together
Our values define our direction. Boldness means the courage to renew and tackle even difficult issues. Positivity is the ability to see opportunities and successes. Working together reminds us that the city’s future is built through cooperation between residents, communities, businesses, and the city.
