The DN of the Debate. Oh, no, the million program is not in Novosibirsk

Mattias Karlsson (SD), points to a DN in an interview with the recently-out contemporary architecture människofientligt of religion. He says that modernism is the left’s pursuit of total equality where everyone is equally poor. He would like to ask the conservatism of classical ideals of beauty toward modernism, which is found in the Swedish million programme.

in Part, he is right. We have not attended to early stages of large-scale particularly well. But his history is flawed. Certainly, modernism, or functionalism, as we call it, is a result of the more radical ideas from the early 1900’s. And there were the modernists, who launched the fair, large-scale and far-reaching utopian idéprojekt. However, it was not these that put down its roots in social-democratic Sweden. Our bostadspolitiker, and architects was for a long time, and, in essence, small-scale and cautious. And quality standards are held in high esteem.

that put extreme demands on housing provision. The housing shortage was huge, and crowded living conditions and health. They get housing, which was initially in the cities was due in a large part of the poor, many of them with the proper exploitation. And the new ones that were built lasted a long time not to be.

the us economy was the key, and the housing required a large capital investment. The country banks had to accept the fact that some of their capital was tied into the bostadsbyggnadsfonder, with a moderate rate of interest. The funds were administered by the Länsbostadsnämnder. Their task is to distribute funds to as many homes as possible, and at the same time make sure that what was built was of reasonable quality. It was quite regimented, is not so strange after all.

Classical, has its advantages, but for many of us, its architectural expression, associated with totalitarian powers, and as a society, we don’t want to have it back.

In the 15 years after world war ii, was built in 800, 000 new homes in an architectural style that I would call thought provoking post-war French literature – small scale, semi klassicistiskt, and not seldom picturesque. It is relevant to the style dominated, a long time american style of architecture.

this, Then, was the aim of the ten years, 1965-1974, to build one million new housing units. The quantitative target was set, primarily, but the quality requirements were still in place. Now, influenced the aesthetics part of the new international tendencies where the scale was not a stranger.

in Order to achieve the objective of weakening the construction industry, for rationalisation to create a more industrial application, among others, with the pre-fabricated building components and materials. It is here that the large-scale förortsmiljöerna will be added.

the Rest was built in a moderately sized apartment with a thoughtfully-formed environments, as well as single family houses, which account for one-third of the entire environmental programme. This goal was achieved. Housing was traditionally – at least for the time being. In 1974, the problem was that there was a surplus of newly built homes.

There is a technical failure of the whole environmental programme. The technological development is driven more heavily than was the case for new materials and production methods allowed. Profit and greed have also started to become a problem in the construction.

In the large-scale fields, the great hall is less well – monotonous, repetitive, and scale that in many, but not all, felt it to be inhumane. But it was not a bad thing, and many of which have been well to the right of the scale. There were architects who saw the beauty in it, on a large scale and was able to convey this well in Grindtorp in Täby, sweden, for example.

and The swedes are first to improve their economy, and moved from the rental properties have the apartment buildings to owner occupied single-family homes. What was left was the worse economy in the world. Then, they, this, on with the immigrants, who are not able to choose. Gradually, this has grown to be a major social problem that has become more and more difficult to resolve.

the tenure status has had a significant impact. There are neighborhoods where the houses have been managed as a cooperative in an environment which has held up well, while other parts of the house has been managed by the public housing sector and has become a concern.

in the early stages of a partial failure of the was not enough in the social-democratic samhällssfären party hyresgäströrelsen, the public interest. Many local authorities did not or did not want to see. You should have taken the action, seeing the large areas of ”semi-finished products as soon as had been called for corrections or additions. A deal has been done, but it is not enough. Many of the attempts at community involvement have always been there but few real results have been achieved. Society has failed them, not the early taking of the problems and the residents very seriously.

Gårdstensbostäder is a public housing company in Angered, Gothenburg, sweden. In 1997, a board of directors, where 8 out of the 10 members of the people living in the area. When the board took over, there were plans for major renovations in order to improve the environment. The board of directors, said that, first, we need to define and develop the resident’s identity in the field then we can make a change. So, the development has been done from ”the inside” of major changes, and with the resident’s real-world influence and power, not unlike that of a tenant-owners ‚ association. The crime rate has dropped and the price of land has gone up. The area is still very multi-cultural city, is doing much, much better than many of the other large-scale areas of the million programme, and should be seen as a role model.

for 23 years, is the Gårdstensbostäder is still the only public residential area, where the majority of it consists of residents of the area. In all the other public areas of becoming a politician stuck in the board assignments – without having to be affiliated with in the area, but that’s really to be able to represent the residents. This is a continuing example of how the society is guilty of serious misconduct in their relations with the early stages of large housing estates.
