Protecting Historic Buildings: City's Role and Options

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm act more forcefully to protect privately owned buildings of high cultural value, such as Spånga Järn- och Färg. This would involve new strategies, clearer guidelines, and increased possibilities for compulsory administration if properties are mismanaged. The majority, however, believes that existing tools in the Planning and Building Act can be used more effectively, and that it is the government's responsibility to potentially introduce sharper national legislation.
