Fittja in Concrete
Updated:
Fittja is one of the suburbs of Stockholm known as "concrete suburbs" ("betongförorter") - so let's have a look at all this concrete. For those wishing a non-concrete experience of Fittja, a counterpoint to this entry is Mångkulturellt Centrum, where delicious food is served Monday to Friday and select weekends. I also think those who brand these places as being made out of concrete miss incredibly much. Yes, raw concrete is used in construction, but there is much more green around the houses. Having grown up in a "concrete suburb" and then lived in the "city", I can say that I associate the "concrete suburb" with trees, grass and nature and the city with concrete, stone and steel.
