The 2023 follow-up report on the <em>Policy for Designed Living Environment<\/em> focuses on one of the policy&rsquo;s key targets: ensuring that sustainability and quality are not overshadowed by short-term economic considerations.<\/p>\n<p>Titled &lsquo;Sustainability, Quality, and Economy&rsquo;, the report is an annual review commissioned by the Swedish Ministry of Culture. It highlights the policy&rsquo;s core belief in the transformative power of design and the role of architecture, form, design, art, and cultural environments in building a sustainable, equitable, and inclusive society.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing on expert interviews, research studies, case examples, and surveys with architecture, construction, and real estate firms, ArkDes emphasizes in the report the need to reassess working methods and funding models to prioritize sustainability and quality in architecture, design, construction, and management.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"container my-2.5\">\n        <div class=\"card-wrap\">\n                    <article class=\"card theme-default-shadow theme-default-shadow-hover relative\" data-track-content data-content-name=\"Report 2023: Sustainability, Quality and Economics\">\n    <div class=\"card-header\">\n                    <a\n                class=\"card-tag button button-black z-[10]\"\n                href=\"https:\/\/arkdes.se\/en\/knowledge-hub\/\"\n            >\n                Knowledge hub\n            <\/a>\n        \n                    <div class=\"card-date\">\n                                    <p class=\"lowercase\">\n                        .pdf(57mb)\n                    <\/p>\n                \n                \n\n\n                            <\/div>\n        \n        \n            <\/div>\n\n                    <a\n            class=\"expanded-hit-area\"\n            href=\"https:\/\/arkdes.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ArkDes-arsrapport-gestaltad-livsmiljo-2023-hallbarhet-kvalitet-och-ekonomi_digitalt-original-1.pdf\"\n            onclick=\"document.getElementById('dateForm_69df06a624557').submit(); return false;\"\n            data-content-target=\"https:\/\/arkdes.se\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/03\/ArkDes-arsrapport-gestaltad-livsmiljo-2023-hallbarhet-kvalitet-och-ekonomi_digitalt-original-1.pdf\"\n        >\n        <h2\n        class=\"card-title\"\n        id=\"card-title69df06a624555\"\n    >\n        Report 2023: Sustainability, Quality and Economics\n    <\/h2>\n            <\/a>\n    \n    \n    <div class=\"card-image-holder\">\n                    <div class=\"card-image\">\n                <figure class=\"w-full\" aria-hidden='true'>\n    <div class=\"relative\">\n        \n        <picture class=\"w-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.ohmyhosting.se\/XKgDCIITVqvU6ew3gXnoViKtLS4=\/fit-in\/370x276\/smart\/filters:quality(10):blur(9)\/https%3A%2F%2Farkdes.se%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F03%2Farkdes_rapport-2023_digitalt-omslag-scaled.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.ohmyhosting.se\/d2b4KVSUTz0XIbiuPElLXNoZ4lo=\/370x276\/smart\/filters:quality(85)\/https%3A%2F%2Farkdes.se%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F03%2Farkdes_rapport-2023_digitalt-omslag-scaled.jpg 1x, https:\/\/images.ohmyhosting.se\/tRHECVZaQZa3h1CtkZo_f2DvZzQ=\/740x552\/smart\/filters:quality(85)\/https%3A%2F%2Farkdes.se%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2024%2F03%2Farkdes_rapport-2023_digitalt-omslag-scaled.jpg 2x\" alt=\"\" class=\"w-full block\" height=\"276.19921875\" width=\"370\" fetchpriority=\"auto\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/picture>\n    <\/div>\n\n            <figcaption class=\"text-sm mt-2.5 flex flex-col gap-2.5\">\n                            <i class=\"block not-italic\">Graphic design and image: Magdalena Czarnecki<\/i>\n                        \n        <\/figcaption>\n    <\/figure>\n\n            <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n\n            <p class=\"card-text !text-sm\">\n            Click here to read the report.
