Järva Dialog, part of Stockholm City's Sustainable Järva initiative to improve energy efficiency of homes, enabled residents to have a say in decisions being made about renovations.
Title
Brief description
After initial resistance by residents, a dialogue between different groups of residents was initiated, including those with a migrant background, the local municipality, and the tenant association. The Järva Dialog took place in the form of open meetings, which saw 10,000 residents participate and provide responses about the advantages and challenges of the area. Retrofit challenges addressed through dialogue and participatory processes can have several local and social benefits, such as improved democratic capacity, in addition to increased energy efficiency.
