stockholm was changed by politicians from the boonies. these had no appreciation for the city and its history. hjalmar mehr was a Russian communist who envisioned a Stalinist paradise in Sweden. Klara clearly had some junky buildings but they could have been rebuilt in an appropriate style. The inner city should have been placed elsewhere. Its location was mainly because of its proximity to the railroad. I'm sure anyone familiar with the city could have placed a "downtown" at another convenient spot however, these actors wanted to build a Stalinist political monument to themselves. As communications improve these constructions look more like obstructions. The old town was nearly obliterated by these fools. Stockholm as a city was founded on a function. Anlyze what is needed today and proceed with building what will suit todays needs and changed limitations in communications and transport without breaking history. I'm sure if you look around you will find other cities that have embraced the future without trampling the past.
@@peterericson8170 Mehr's parents, Sara and Bernhard Meyerowitch, were Russian-Jewish revolutionaries who after the failed 1905 Russian Revolution fled to Sweden, where Hjalmar was born and named after Hjalmar Branting.
@@peterericson8170 no, its more like a religion that you are born into. Rarely do people break free. The methods of the city government was fascist/communist and some declared illegal by the european court. Overreaching power from the city and architects wanting to build monuments to their glory made Stockholm ugly. Only by a slim chance did the Old Town escape destruction. Yes, at beginning of 1900 much of Stockholm was very rural and full of crappy little third world ghetto shacks but much of Norrmalm was not beyond the scope of rehabilitation that took place in other parts of the town. The heavy handed central planning killed most of the individualism that could have been expressed. The new buildings were mostly retail and office spaces, replacing residences. They did not represent a democratic view.
Rivningen av klara kvarteren var en styggelse
4:38. 52% av beståndet i den inre delen revs. Vilket övergrepp!
Kan man hitta resten av filmen online någonstans?
Precis samma känslan när jag tittar på mitt hem landet. Kände mig växte upp i denna områden. Vackert med och på allt även vädret 😎
Gillar Stockholms Historia !
Hej, du råkar inte ha tillgång till resten av filmen?
Helt vansinnigt hur färgen kan påverka hur man ser på filmen.
Varför pratade Hjalmar Mehr nästan precis som Olof Palme?
Var de släkt?
Vad heter dokumentären?
Blir bara ledsen när jag ser filmen....
Beatles5 ja jag mår nästan illa när jag ser detta
Hur uppstod denna rivningshysteri egentligen?
Sossarna
Citi? Det heter väl city?
Ja, det heter också även, inte even.
"Hötorgscity lyckad arkitektur" wft ? was?
Ligger i Minas gerais i Brasilien ock kollar min fina barn å ungdomstad
Om jag ska vara helt ärlig så fattar jag inte var klara kvarteren låg och hur dom såg ut!...
Noitpecer Det var vackrare än sergels torg i aĺla fall
Underbara neonskyltar!
Vänstertrafik!

"hjalmar mehr was a Russian communist". Nah, he wasn't.

@@Piccodon Thanks; but well-known. Communism is, anyhow, not an ethnicity, which you are born into.
He was one of the few in the drama that actually grew up in Klara. He has told about the horrible conditions there.
