But I'm not sure if they even should be called 'commie blocks'?

They are the aristocracy of commieblocks

And here is a pic of commies in Nybohov (the ones on the hill behind Liljeholmskajen) in better light conditions:

Skulle dem inte bygga 3 nya våningar?? från 21-24 är det väl 3 eller är jag helt ute och cyklar?

Seems reasonable. 24 new appartments divided into 3 floors, i.e. 8 appartments per floor.

I'll never forgive the city politicians for their ignorance in not allowing the construction of much higher buildings since IMHO this area is, along with Hjorthagen, an excellent area for this purpose.

Tanto is commieblock indeed, just look at the streetview http://tinyurl.com/3o8hfcu

It's just that we have a lot of commieblocks in Sweden, so we've become very good at distinguishing between good commies and bad commies

Fast det är många som också är positiva vi är inte ensamma :P Många som har negativa tankar vet inte ens vad de pratar om, någon skrev något om bevara området, det är fan en grusplätt..

[Boscorelli]

Bevara området? En del människor alltså...

Precis, frågan är varför de inte bygger mer lägenheter på sjövikshöjden, hade varit roligat att ha ett torn där

[Divineator]

Nåja, ju högre desto bättre! Väldigt ovanligt att höra ord som "stadsbyggnadskontoret håller med" när det gäller frågor om utökad våningshöjd...

Maybe, they can start building the low-rise part first to avoid delay...

I took some pics of the area about two weeks ago.

Liljeholmskajen. View from Årstabron:





Closer look:





It is fascinating how close to the cliff that lowhouse is built. Kajen 4 will be built in front of it:



Some pics from the cliff:



This is exactly the place where Kajen 4 will be built:



Årstabron:



I met a friend up there



Down on the street level at the place of Kajen 4:





View on the already built buildings, the new ones will be built on the left side of them:

Are you out of your mind or just ignorent?

Sweden was not part of soviet neither is there a name as "commie blocks" here.

We call them miljonprojekt, miljonprogram or just project. Wikipedia soviet and u will see the list of which countries was part of it.

U are the first one in my life i've encountered beleiving sweden was part of soviet.

Of course, Sweden was never a part of the Soviet Union, nor was it a part of the 'Soviet club'. Even if the majority of the seats in parliament (Riksdag) were taken by social democrats, that is not reason to call the country 'socialist'.
I think, Shifty2k5 didn't even mean that there are many "block" buildings in Sweden due to widespread social democracy.
Actually, the '(commie) blocks' were the idea of a French architect. It was somewhat cheaper to build big and not very attractive buildings and the tendency spread aorund the Western world first. Later the style was adobted by the communists in the Soviet Union. As the country was relativelly poor, the style and materials used to build the "commie blocks" were worser than those that were built in the West.
I suppose, Scandinavia has its own style of "blocks" as majority of them are in a better condition than most of the "monsters" built all around the Soviet club. Also, the cold lcimate may the reason why these type of buildings are preferred to 'glassy' ones.

[Italiano95]

Let's just say it this way:

Large ugly cheap block houses(also called commie blocks) can be found in nearly every country. Infact I have seen it in every single country I've been to in Europe, even if I just drived through it fast I've seen some so called 'commie blocks', I have also seen many such blocks in both South and North America and in Asia on pictures. So yeah they are pretty usual everywhere!

Please name a country that you seriously belive that there are no 'commie blocks'!


And they shouldn't even be called 'commie blocks' because they are usual in many more countries than the old Soviet, They're just called so because they builded far more of this blocks in Soviet than they did in other countries!

Hahah, the funny thing here is that me myself thought about exactly that country when I wrote that. But then I thought that no one would be so unserious that he would write it.

I seriously don't thint that you can count in the Vatican city in that list of real countries with own cities and culture and stuff like that.

I was there myself about exactly 1 month ago and I can say that it's not much of a country!

I really dislike the 'commie block' expression. I've probably used it more times then I should have but I'm avoiding to use it, since it is so general and very overused.
