Drömmen om staden
Den sunda grönskan
Fri, Jan 02, 1998
  • S1.E5
  • Den sunda grönskan
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.

  • S1.E6
  • Höga höjder
"High altitudes". About the struggle between the hedgerows and the greenery, between the built and the unbuilt. From the tall King Towers in Stockholm to the very first skyscrapers in Chicago, built in twelve floors. On to New York and Central Park, the direct contrast between high and low. Then via an abandoned salt mine on the outskirts of Paris at the time to the large park in Malmö. From the 18th-century park ideal Haga to Skogskyrkogården's memorial groves, both located in Stockholm. Then we travel to Vällingby's residential buildings built directly on the meadow, travel on to Tapiola's high-rise building among the furrows in Finland, make a few stopovers in the newly built Ballerup outside Copenhagen before finally landing in Stockholm.

Den sköna fasaden
Wed, Dec 31, 1997
  • S1.E4
  • Den sköna fasaden
"The beautiful facade". About the straight street and the neat city rooms during the 18th and 19th centuries. In the past, cities in the Nordics were built of wood with few exceptions. But the Nordic wooden city is on fire. Constantly. And every time it is built, the city changes a little. New embellishments are added, inspired by French ideals and Italian pattern books. one can still today find wooden facades as well-tailored as ever the stone houses of the Italian cities. The journey continues to Pienza, the first Renaissance city in Italy, to Rauma, the wooden city on the world heritage list in Finland, to Umeå and Sundsvall and ends in Stockholm.

Den starka muren

S1.E1 ∙ Den starka muren

Wed, Dec 24, 1997
"The strong wall". About streets, squares, churches and trading places in the Middle Ages. What remains of our old cities? Why are the houses so tall and narrow, and the streets so winding? The journey goes over Jerusalem and Stockholm as starting points. Over 13th-century Tuscan towns to Lund and Ystad, further over Tallinn and Bergen, to finally stop in Visby, where the walls still stand intact. 3 kilometers long and nearly ten meters high.

Det skyddande vattnet

S1.E2 ∙ Det skyddande vattnet

Thu, Dec 25, 1997
"The protective water". Why are our cities located by the water, and why have they been built on marshland and in bays? Today, Katarina Dunér talks about water that both protects and opens cities to connections far beyond borders. About the contacts with Amsterdam, which was once Europe's New York, about the Dutch who left their mark on both Stockholm, Copenhagen, Gothenburg and Kristianstad. It will be a breathtaking journey over these cities and down over the model city of Sabbionetta and to Venice in Italy to finally return to Stockholm, the Venice of the Nordics.

Det grandiosa perspektivet

S1.E3 ∙ Det grandiosa perspektivet

Sat, Dec 27, 1997
"The grandiose perspective". A journey to Rome and the ancient ruins that 17th-century architects were so fond of. And from the triumphal arch in the Roman Forum, we travel in time to the 19th century and Napoleon's gigantic triumphal arch and the triumphal arch of our time in glass and concrete in Paris. Then a quick visit to Versailles which was once built on marshlands to the marshlands of the Gulf of Finland, where Peter the Great had a giant city built in a few years. When we return to Stockholm, the old castle has just burned down and now Stockholm finally gets a chance to become "like a shining metropolis.
