Sweden’s Plan For Building Largest Wooden City
The wooden city, titled Stockholm Wood City, is the brainchild of Danish studio Henning Larsen and Swedish firm White Arkitekter. The development will cover 250,000 square metres, and as per real estate developer Atrium Ljungberg, it will be the world’s largest “wooden city”. Annica Anas, CEO of Atrium Ljungberg, was quoted as saying, “We are proud to introduce Stockholm Wood City. This is not only an important step for us as a company, but a historic milestone for Swedish innovation capability. Stockholm Wood City manifests our future.” The city, which is to be built in Sickla, will include a variety of construction types and is expected to bring 7,000 new offices and 2,000 new housing units to the area, along with real estate options for stores and restaurants. The development will span 25 blocks. The price tag that comes with developing such a city, however, is no child’s play. A report by The Economist pegged the cost of this project as 12 billion krona ($1.4 billion or Rs 11,486 crore).
