The basic idea behind an extra year in school was to offer students who have not read nine years in Swedish primary school an opportunity to prepare themselves to pass a high school. This first group that went an extra year in school consisted of eleven students who completed their studies and went on to high school.

Miljonprogrammets kommande energiupprustning blir allt mer akut samtidigt som energipriserna i Sverige trappas upp. Med miljötänkets renässans och dagens energikonsumtion är det viktigt att såväl befintliga som nyproducerade fastigheter anpassas och energieffektiviseras.

Jag har valt att placera operan i Frihamnen för jag tror att det är bra för stadens utveckling att flytta ut viktiga byggnader så att innerstaden får växa ochde nya bostadsområderna får en egen, attraktiv karaktär.

Det är inte längre de horisontella spåren som sträcker sig ut från stadskärnan som visar vägen för expanderingen. Det är en ny längtan efter vertikala riktningar där staden förtätas på höjden. Stockholm har tagit sikte mot himlen. Den stad jag föddes och växte upp i håller sakta på att förändras, detta är något jag är säker på.
