Social housing residents enter the labor market

The Vivalla neighborhood in Örebro was originally built as part of the miljonprogrammet (Million Program) Swedish government public housing scheme in the late 1960s. Vivalla is an area of high unemployment and other social problems. Together with ÖrebroBostäder, Skanska has changed the entire character of the neighborhood – into a safer and more positive residential environment.
