Protecting Historic Buildings: City Actions and Government Role

The Liberals propose that the City of Stockholm act more forcefully to protect privately owned buildings of cultural-historical importance, including by introducing clearer guidelines and investigating compulsory management for neglect, citing the fire-damaged Hedvig 7 property in Spånga as an example. The majority responded that they are already working to strengthen existing tools and coordinate city practices, but contend that the city has limited authority and that sharper legislation for compulsory management beyond the housing sector is a matter for the government.
