Stockholm has an extensive public transportation system and green space network. The public transportation system includes the Stockholm Metro, two urban rail systems, a commuter rail network, three light rail systems, trams, and buses. Stockholm is one-third urban, one-third water, and one-third green space, with large parks and natural areas throughout the city. The city uses a waste hierarchy that prioritizes prevention, reuse, recycling, energy recovery, and lastly disposal in landfills. Stockholm's vision is to become a more sustainable, connected city through focused growth and vibrant public spaces.
