Is it possible for an urban landscape to be beautifully integrated with its environment?
It may seem impossible, but not so! Stockholm is the best example of this. This metropolis is spread over 14 islands which are interconnected by more than 50 bridges on Lake Mälar. Incredibly, about one third of the metropolitan area is waterways, and another third are green spaces and parks. This means that only one third of the city’s surface area is covered in asphalt, buildings, cars and urban jungle for its 2 million inhabitants.
Stockholm and World Heritage Sites
The archipelago on which Stockholm is located is home to no less than three UNESCO World Heritage sites. The Birka archaeological site is located on Björkö Island in Lake Mälar and was occupied in the 9th and 10th centuries (possibly the first human settlement in Scandanavia). This archaeological complex illustrates the elaborate trading networks of Viking-Age Europe and their influence on the subsequent history of Scandinavia. Skogskyrkogården is a cemetery in Stockholm created between 1917 and 1920 by two young art nouveau architects, Asplund and Lewerentz, on the site of former gravel pits overgrown with pine trees. The design harmonizes the surrounding vegetation with the architectural elements. Greta Garbo is buried here.
