A seminar on Tuesday stressed the global importance of beginning to \u2018grow our cities\u2019.\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a huge need globally to transition to sustainable cities, and Sweden\u2019s knowledge of modern wood construction, combined with sustainable forestry, can drive this transformation. The Swedish forest and wood industry offers technical, economic and sustainable solution for future cities,\u201d stated J\u00f6rgen Hermansson, head of S\u00f6dra Building Systems, who represented Swedish Wood in Nairobi.<\/p>\n<p>The theme of this year\u2019s Assembly was Agenda 2030, which fits in well with UN-Habitat\u2019s ambition \u2018For a better urban future\u2019. According to the UN\u2019s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), the construction industry currently accounts for 40% of global carbon emissions. The discussions about sustainable construction were therefore an important point on the agenda.<\/p>\n<p>Wooden housing developer Arvet presented an exhibition on how wood construction meets all of the UN\u2019s 17 Sustainable Development Goals, with sustainable forestry and the expertise of the Swedish wood industry as core factors. Architects Sweden, in partnership with the Swedish Institute and the Swedish Embassy, also unveiled \u2018Woodland Sweden\u2019 \u2013 an exhibition about the know-how that Swedish architects possess with regard to designing wooden buildings and sustainable societies of the future.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSweden has amassed a great deal of experience and knowledge about modern wood construction. Building cities in wood \u2013 literally growing our cities \u2013 offers a sustainable solution to challenges such as housing supply, climate change, employment and urbanisation,\u201d said Susanne Rudenstam, head of the Swedish Wood Building Council.<\/p>\n<p>From the Swedish Embassy in Kenya, State Secretary Elin Olsson later posted the Assembly\u2019s message on social media, writing that the development of cities and communities needs to take account of site-specific conditions and place people at the centre of decisions. She also stated that it is possible to solve several challenges at the same time, and that Goal 11 of the 2030 Agenda, sustainable cities and communities, can and must be linked up with other global sustainability goals.<\/p>\n<p><strong>More about the UN-Habitat Assembly<\/strong><br \/>\nOn Tuesday, a seminar on sustainable urban development was attended by State Secretary Elin Olsson, Minister Counsellor Michael Hjelm\u00e5ker from the Swedish Embassy in Kenya, Klas Groth from UN-Habitat in Nairobi, Sandra Frank from Arvet and J\u00f6rgen Hermansson from S\u00f6dra Building System. Tove Dumon Wallsten of Architects Sweden led the discussion. The seminar was held in the Swedish Wood pavilion, designed by architectural firm In Praise of Shadows, which was represented at the event by Katarina Lundeberg.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Swedish wood construction was a key point on the agenda at the first UN-Habitat Assembly, which focused on innovations in sustainable development and was held in Nairobi, Kenya, on 27-31 May.
