Evidence snapshot for Malmö
Malmö has implemented multiple evidence-based water and green infrastructure initiatives. Augustenborg Ekostaden's open stormwater retrofit handled around 90% of runoff from roofs and impervious surfaces and the district avoided severe damage in major rainfall events, though these results lack a control group. VA SYD's AI-based leak detection reduced non-revenue water from 10% to 8% in a pilot zone, and Bo01 required developers to meet a green space factor and select from a list of habitat-quality options, though green areas were later partly replaced by hard surfaces as the system was simplified.
