The Stockholm of today is an urban planner’s dream city for its many town planning superlatives, including its walkability and clean air, water clean enough that people can fish and dive in the city center, an efficient, rail-based public transit system, and its preservation of the many beautiful buildings and family friendly parks, many of which are well-stocked with sandboxes, jungle gyms, swings, and slides. Its densest neighborhoods can be traversed via quiet paths between apartment blocks or through charming streets brimming with coffee shops, fine dining, shops, and entertainment. Its nature reserves feature communities of tiny Swedish garden houses and rocky hilltops with commanding city views. The city’s many bike lanes are predominately grade separated and located between sidewalks and parked cars, with margins so that opening passenger doors don’t fly into the paths of oncoming bicyclists. These and many other tangible and intangible urban planning assets set the bar high for other cities to emulate and assure Stockholm’s place as an urban planning model city.
