And if we seriously mean to work with social and ethnic segregation issues, the programs must be related to the individual, and not a collective body. This applies to the business community as well as the public sector. Already we can see how quickly we have achieved results through intensive work with individual training, apprentice programs, language and adult education - all related to company needs. It is in this way we can send persons, formerly dependent on social economic subsidies, into the productive labor market. Kista will change.
Today there is an area for industry, another for commerce and still another for living.
We want to have life and movement in Kista where service, commerce and recreation are in close proximity of both the companies and the housing areas. The Borough Council will lead the way to changing the traditional 8am to 4 pm day. With individually approved working hours within the Borough administration and changed open times, service could be offered between 6 am and 9 pm. The companies will follow suit. Student, researcher and personnel housing will be built both in the housing and work areas of the Borough.
