Transformation of existing buildings to new uses : A snapshot of conversions in Sweden

Decarbonizing the existing building stock is essential, especially as buildings in the EU (85% built before 2000) account for a third of energy-related greenhouse gas emissions. This study examines adaptive reuse of underutilized structures as a sustainable alternative to demolition and new construction. It addresses the surplus of redundant buildings, driven partly by needs for heritage conservat

These old people’s homes were often charitable trusts, which required them to be seen as respectable to attract funding. Residents therefore faced a two-way contract: being offered dignified housing if they met societal standards

Rural Retrenchment and Marginalization in Sweden? Evidence from Employment Registers and Survey Data

Covering the period from 1993 to 2023, we use register-based employment data and citizen surveys to study public employment, as well as trust in and satisfaction with public services across five types of municipalities, ranging from metropolit

First confirmed finds of baleen whale from Iron Age Scania, Sweden, and their archaeological implications
