Because the old town is the oldest part of Stockholm, many of the walking streets are quite narrow, some of them being former alleys. Automobiles are kept at the periphery of the old town. It is a "park and walk in" style of redesigning a city. |
This is a section of the walking area in old town Stockholm that is completely residential. |
This is the new city center of
Stockholm, located across the water from the old town center.
This large urban park, with a fountain and much landscaping, is across the street from NK, a large department store in Stockholm. |
The vegetation in this Stockholm park is enclosed in raised "planters." This protects the plants and flowers from being walked on. Planners often mix planters with benches for sitting. |
