All Swedes have a relationship with their capital - but how did Stockholm become the city we know today? In this anthology, leading architectural historians chronicle the history of Stockholm's construction, both in sweeping accounts and in detailed portraits of especially interesting buildings. It is a history that stretches over 800 years - from the Middle Ages to postmodernism - and offers clues as to how future construction can put its stamp on the capital. Both well-known and lesser known buildings - the Royal Palace as well as terraced houses - are examined. The history of Stockholm serves as a mirror, reflecting the economic, political and cultural development of all of Sweden. This is also a book about the people and ideas that have left an imprint on the city. Behind every detail, every road layout and every urban innovation are people who had ideas and people who chose to pursue them. We encounter many of those who created the Stockholm we know and love today.
