Botkyrka is one of Sweden’s youngest and most international municipalities. The fifth biggest municipality in the Stockholm county with 80 000 inhabitants, Botkyrka has exciting prospects for development.

To meet the challenges of the future, Botkyrka needs to forge together with its inhabitants and other stakeholders a coherent concept of the role which the municipality,and its inhabitants, can and will play in a growing metropolitan region.

Botkyrka municipality has launched the production of a series of district-based long-term programmes for sustainable development, prepared as collaborative efforts of various Botkyrka administrations in dialogue with people who live and work in the different districts. In this process the concept of co-responsibility fits very well. Participation in the TOGETHER network offers interesting opportunities to try out, compare and develop further methodological issues related to local development and a shared concern for the well-being of all.

Salaspils Municipality is situated in the central part of Latvia, on the periphery of the capital Riga. The town is surrounded by a rural area and its history is closely related to the Riga hydroelectric station, that literally contributed to its birth.

• The improvement of social services;
• helping to launch a day care centre for people with disabilities;
• reducing the cost of heating, which is one of the highest in Latvia;
• better integration in the city’s life of the Russian-speaking population, who represent 57 % of Salaspils population;
• development of the economic sector and helping to create new businesses.
