Malmö : Since the 1990s, Malmö has been transitioning towards an environmentally, economically and socially sustainable city, investing in eco-districts  and adopting ambitious adaptation and mitigation targets. The city has focused on energy-efficient buildings and construction, collective and low-carbon transportation, and green spaces and infrastructure . Malmö has developed creative implementation mechanisms, including a 'climate contract' between the city, the energy distributor and the water and waste utility to co-develop the climate-smart district, Hyllie . Flagship eco-districts play a central role in the city's transition, in the wider adoption of CRD and in securing implementation partners . The city has also leveraged its status as a CRD leader to attract investment. The private sector views CRD as profitable, due to the high demand and competitive value of these developments . Malmö adopted the SDGs as local goals and the city's Comprehensive Plan is evaluated based on them, for example, considering gender in the use, access and safety of public spaces, and emphasising development that facilitates climate-resilient lifestyles . Malmö also engages stakeholders via dialogue with residents, collaboration with universities and partnerships with industry and service providers . Despite measurable and monitored targets, and supportive institutional arrangements, sustainability outcomes for the flagship districts have been tempered by developers' market-oriented demands  and there is limited low-income housing in climate-resilient districts .
