Urban Insight is based on a series of insight reports written by Sweco experts. It is a long-term initiative with a different theme each year.

The theme for 2019 is Urban Energy, describing various facets of sustainable urban development about energy usage, renewable energy and energy efficiency – with future challenges and opportunities in the new energy landscape. We explore how citizens view and use energy in urban areas and how local circumstances can be improved to create more liveable, sustainable and mobile cities and communities.

The first report of the year Electricity: how long could we survive without it? comes from Finland. The report explores how our cities would be affected by long power outages.
