In words and photographs the aim of the book is to help the reader interpret the City’s patterns and to act as a guide to both its past and present from the Middle Ages until the 1990’s highlighting some of the most famous architects like Asplund, Lewerentz, Markelius and many more. Like the annual rings on the oaks in the Djurgården Royal Park - the City gradually grew as the years passed: the grid-pattern plan of the city, the garden city developments, the post - war multi - family housing suburbs, and the building activity of our own times.
