The ABE school's new development plan describes the direction of the school over the coming six years (2018-2023). The plan describes the overall and long-term ambitions for education, research and collaboration based on the school's profile with a particular focus on equal opportunities, sustainable development, internationalisation and digitalisation.

The development plan has been developed during Spring 2018, in various internal forums: the School Executive Group, the school’s Strategic Council, the local collaboration group and the school’s representatives in the Faculty Assembly.
An additional important aspect of the school’s development, which is not discussed in detail in this document, is long-term competence provision. The school’s work with this is described in a separate competence provision plan.
In the Autumn of 2018, operational plans will be developed where activities and goals are formulated to achieve the overall visions.
From the school's Development Plan
Overall visions
The School of Architecture and the Built Environment
drives social development towards a more sustainable world
continues to be an active participant in the public debate on societal issues
is an equal and attractive study environment and workplace
has strong partnerships in Sweden, the Nordic region, Europe and the in rest of the world
utilises the potential of digitalisation for more efficient processes
One vision is for sustainability issues to consistently be reflected in the school’s work, thereby contributing to creating a more sustainable world. Sustainability aspects of social development are integrated into the research, which is also clearly reflected in the education.
Through education and research, the school ensures the provision of competences throughout the built environment sector, in order to address various societal challenges, such as housing construction, climate change, infrastructure supply, an ageing population and integration. Furthermore, the school is an important stakeholder in the public debate concerning societal issues, which also contributes to an even more increased visibility for the organisation.
A welcoming, open and equal workplace and study environment is offered, within the framework of One KTH. Such an environment is attractive and provides development opportunities for everyone within the organisation. Strategies are continually developed to achieve a more even gender distribution. In addition, gender conscious leadership creates the conditions for a more equal workplace in the long-term.
One vision is for internationalisation work to uphold and promote democratic values. The school’s partnerships are being strengthened both in Sweden, the Nordic region and in Europe, as well as in the rest of the world. Academic mobility is promoted through various initiatives, within both education and research.
Active efforts to integrate internationally recruited staff continues, including targeted initiatives concerning the Swedish language and Swedish conditions.
As the organisation is complex, effective and needs-oriented support is continually ensured. This includes the modernisation of systems and working methods, including the digitalisation of processes and development of support systems.
There are a number of success factors for achieving the overall visions and development goals.This largely entails creating economic conditions, clarity in structures and a good working environment that provides security to all those engaged at the school.
