From the first day we started to plan for the 2009 World Finals we said “we want to show our beautiful city, we want the whole city to be our venue”. This is why you will live in the city center, right next to the water, you will walk around the city, along the water, you will travel to many places in the city, maybe even on water, and you will drink the clean water from the lake that cuts through the city, surrounding its islands, as it meets the Baltic Sea. When you wake up on Wednesday you will have been able to see Stockholm from many points of view. You will have experienced not only the water, but also the beautiful KTH Campus and maybe got a little of the Nobel spirit. All of us from the KTH organizing team deeply hope you will wake up on Wednesday and think “these days in Stockholm I will never forget”.

  • A Reading of the 750 Anniversary of Stockholm
    1 The texture of heritage: a reading of the 750th anniversary of Stockholm1 Abstract This paper employs Henri Lefebvre’s term texture as a means of analysing a series of events which took place in June 2002 to mark the 750th anniversary of Sweden’s capital city. The resulting case study demonstrates that heritage is the present-day use of the past and that selection and interpretation shift according to contemporary demands. The latter prompts a continuing series of ‘particular actions’ (Lefebvre) Post-Printwhich require explaining and elucidating to new audiences in fresh contexts. This provides heritage with its impetus whilst also accounting not only for its range and reach, but also for its richness as a source of study. Key words: Anniversary, Commemoration, Heritage, Lefebvre, Stockholm, Sweden List of Figures [in the published version only] Figure 1 The charter of 1 July 1252 – the first recorded mention of Stockholm.

  • THE WALKABLE CITY Stockholm City Plan
    SBK 2011:1 THE WALKABLE CITY Stockholm City Plan • March 2010 THE WALKABLE CITY Stockholm City Plan Adopted by Stockholm City Council on 15 March 2010 THE CITY PLANNING ADMINISTRATION Fleminggatan 4 Box 8314, 104 20 Stockholm Phone +46 (0)8-508 26 000 www.stockholm.se Foreword Stockholm has fantastic qualities that take it far beyond its status as capital of Sweden. Stockholm combines great expanses of water and greenery with a his- toric city centre and contemporary architecture. People from around the globe converge on the city in search of the metropolitan buzz, excitement and oppor- tunities. Stockholm currently faces the challenge of sensible growth, where more inhabitants than ever in its history can live and enjoy a city with attrac- tive new housing, a dynamic business climate, a knowledge-driven education system, quality care, good sporting facilities, a rich range of experiences and an outstanding environment. This is why Stockholm City Council has adopted Vision 2030: a world-class Stockholm. With its decision on a new City Plan, the City of Stockholm has launched its vision of a walkable city, as a response to how we can meet these challenges and create a structure within which the city can grow. The core idea is for the city of the future to develop in pace with the people of Stockholm themselves, with a focus on the qualities of this human, safe and environmentally friendly city. The strategies for this are to continue strengthening central Stockholm, to invest in attractive strategic nodes, to connect the different parts of the city and to promote an attractive, vibrant and safe urban environment across the whole of Stockholm.
