Vällingby

Vällingby was design in 1950s as new city (specific type of a planned community that was carefully planned from its inception and is typically constructed in a previously undeveloped area).It is a suburban district in Västerort in the north-western part of Stockholm.

Main concept was “ABC City”
Arbete - Bostad - Centrum, "Work - Housing - Centre" design by architect Sven Markelius who placed high-rise buildings near the metro stations with peripheral self-contained houses and green areas around it. He want to create a place where residents can find everything they need
.

Main square except from Metro Station is design to fulfill need of entertainment. There is a lot of places where people can spend their free time

.








Now Vällingby is one of the most popular suburbs of Stockholm and since 2001 is still renovating. Part of main square is covered by steel construction.
