Initiators and letters of support
Gothenburg's application started as an initiative from a number of literary actors, who in the spring of 2019 wanted to motivate the City of Gothenburg to prepare an application. Following decisions by the City Executive Board, the work started. Many actors have been involved in the work, which can be seen in Gothenburg's application and the Letters of Support.
