Summary The healthy greenery. About some of the attempts made in Europe to build a city that meets many needs - nature and culture, nursing and work. The winding alleys of the Middle Ages were an ideal that loomed around the turn of the century in 1900. The city was once again set on slopes and hills, and the houses were decorated with details taken from nature and fairy tales. We travel from Lärkstaden in Stockholm via Ålesund in Norway and Skatudden in Helsinki and on through Siena to Edinburgh, where we observe the two urban building patterns from a rock knoll; the older medieval town on one side of the railway and the more modern town in classicist garb on the other. In England, people were inspired by both older and younger role models when the model city for the emerging industrial society was planned during the 19th century. And it was from England that we got ideas for the garden city, ideas that today once again stand as examples.
