Stockholm (Gamla stan)

South-east of Norrmalm County, downtown area

After the Ice Age, about 8,000 years BC, there are a lot of people living in the area today of Stockholm, but when the temperature falls, these people move south. Thousands of years later, as the ice melts, the climate becomes more pleasant, and the land becomes fertile, some return to the North. At the intersection of the Baltic Sea and Lake Mälaren is an area of the ancient streets of Stockholm built somewhere around 1000 BC by the Vikings. They had a positive commercial impact on the region produced by the trade lines they were producing.

The location of Stockholm appeared in the Saga with Agnafit, and in Heimskringla was associated with the mythology King Agne. The earliest mention of Stockholm originated in 1252, when the mine in Bergslagen made it an important place of trade in iron. The first part of the city name (stock) means the log in Swedish, though it may be related from the German classical (Stock), meaning the fortress. The second part in the name (holm) means small island, and people think it refers to the small island of Helgeandsholmen in the central Stockholm. According to Eric Chronicles, this city was founded by Birger Jarl to protect Sweden from the Karelia Sea invasion after Sigtuna on Mälaren Lake in the summer of 1187.

The center of Stockholm, the Ancient Street (Gamla Stan) is now built on the central island next to Helgeandsholmen from the middle of the 13th century on. The city originally rose up in the Baltic of the Hanse Coalition. Stockholm has developed cultural and economic ties with Lübeck, Hamburg, Gdańsk, Visby, Reval, and Riga during this time. Between 1296 and 1478 the Stockholm City Council of 24 members, half of which had been selected from the German speakers.

The importance of the city's strategy and economy has made Stockholm an important element in the relationship between the Danish monarchs of the Kalmar Union and the national independence movement in the 15th century. The Danish King Christian II may enter the city in 1520. On November 8, 1520 a carnage of the so-called "The Opposition." The Stockholm bloodbath has taken place and the start of the next uprising that eventually leads to the break of the Kalmar Union. With Gustav Vasa in 1523 and the establishment of Royal power, the Stockholm population began to rise to 10,000 in 1600.

The 17th century ​ seen ​ Sweden grow into a European power, reflected in the development of the city of Stockholm. Between 1610 and 1680 the population doubled. In 1634, Stockholm became the official capital of the Swedish Empire. Trade rules have also been generated for Stockholm a fundamental monopoly on trade between foreign businessmen and other territories of Sweden and Scandinavia. In 1697, the palace of the Lord Kronor was burned, and replaced by the Stockholm Palace.

In 1710, an epidemic killed about 20,000 people (36 percent of the population). And after the end of the North European World War, the city became dominated. The population has stopped increasing and the economy has slowed down. The city was shocked after losing the capital of a power. Stockholm, however, remains the political center of Sweden and continues to develop culture under Gustav III.

In the second half of the 19th century, Stockholm regained its leading economic role. Emerging industries and Stockholm have been transformed into an important trading and service center as well as an important stronghold in Sweden. Population growth during this time, mainly through immigration. In the late 19th century, less than 40 percent of the people here were born in Stockholm. Settlements began to expand beyond the city's scope. The 19th century has ​ seen ​ the creation of several scientific institutes, including Karolinska Institutet. The Stockholm School of Art and Industry exhibition was held in 1897. The old Stockholm telephone tower was a milestone between 1887 and 1953; it was originally built to connect the telephone lines, it became redundant after the lines were lowered, and it was used for advertising.

The city center of Stockholm in the 1960s.

Stockholm became a modern, technological, multi-ethnic city in the second half of the 20th century. Many old buildings are abandoned in the age of Modern architecture, including many large parts of the Klara Old district, and are replaced with modern architecture. However, other parts of Stockholm (such as Gamla stan, Södermalm, Östermalm, Kungsholmen and Vasastan), many houses and roads built before the Modern Architecture movement and the functions of Sweden (around 1930-1935) still exist in this era of destruction. Throughout the century, many industries have moved from intensive activities to higher technology and services areas.

At present, the Stockholm metropolitan area is one of the fastest growing areas in Europe, and its population is predicted to reach 2.5 in 2024. As a result of this enormous population growth, a dense high-rise building project in the center of the city is linked with a hierarchical path.

Climate

Stockholm, with the average temperature in February of -1.7°C (28.9°F), has a moisture continent (Köppen Dfb) in most recent reference, it can be classified as the positive climate (Köppen Cfb) if the3-C (2) line is used (use. As the city has a high degree of northern latitude, the daylight time varies markedly from 18 hours in the middle of summer to only 6:00 in late December. Stockholm has a relatively mild weather relative to other sites in the same latitude, or even further south. With an average of more than 1,800 hours of sunshine a year, this is one of the sunny cities in North Europe, receiving more sunlight than Paris, London, and some of the largest cities in Europe at a much greater length south. Because of the recent improvements in the climate it should be classified as a cold ocean climate with a major influence from the continent if the temperature line -3 is used (27° F). Because the tropical island and the main wind flow on land rather than the ocean during the summer months, Stockholm has the warfarmest summer in the Nordic countries.

Even with a mild climate, Stockholm has a far north position compared to one of Canada's counterparts above the arctic timber line at sea level.

The average height of summer daylight is 20-25°C (68-77°F) and is about 13°C (55°F), but on some days the temperature can reach 30°C (86°F). The days of temperatures above 30°C (86°F) take place an average of 1.55 days per year (1992-2011). The days from 25°C (77 F) to 30 were common (86°F) to July and August. The night was rarely more than 20°C (68°F), and the sunny night was 17 to 18°C (63 to 64°F). Winter usually brings the cloudy weather with the largest amount of water in December and January (in the form of rain or snow). The average winter temperature is about -3 to -1°C (27 to 30°F), and sometimes it's down to -20°C (-4°F). In spring and fall the temperature is usually cool to a peaceful environment.

The following table shows data from 1981 to 2010 despite the period of official Köppen reference period of 1961-1990. In terms of the ongoing measurements, the temperature has increased during the years 1991-2009 compared with the previous years. Warming was created the most during the winter months, with temperatures rose above 2.0°C (3.6° F) in January. In terms of 2002-2014, some rise in temperature has also been measured, even though several months like June were quite stable.

The record height in Stockholm was 36°C (97°F) on July 3, 1811; the record low is -32°C (-26°F) on January 20, 1814. The temperature has not fallen below -25.1°C (-13.2°F) since January 10, 1987.

Daylight Time

The 60th southern position of Stockholm's latitude means that the number of hours in the day light is relatively small in the winter — about six hours, in the first half of July and in the first half of July, at 18 o'clock in daylight. The time of the sun's even lower is never 7.3 degrees below the horizon. This makes the sky a bright blue in summer once the sun sets, because it never gets darker than the shipping twilight. And when you look at the top, you can see some of the stars when the sun is down. But it's not the same as the sun at midnight, which is occurring north of the Arctic Circle, about seven degrees further north.

Green city with national urban park

Stockholm is one of the cleanest cities in the world. The city was awarded the 2010 Green capital of Europe by the European Commission; this is Europe's first blue capital. Election cities are assessed in many ways: climate change, local transport, public green areas, air quality, noise, waste, water consumption, waste treatment, sustainable land use, biodiversity and environmental management. Of the 35 participating cities, eight finalists were selected: Stockholm, Amsterdam, Bristol, Copenhagen, Freiburg, Hamburg, Münster, and Oslo. Some of the reasons Stockholm won the Green Capital Awards of 2010 are: its integrated management system ensures that environmental aspects are considered in accordance with the budget, activity planning, reporting and monitoring; cutting carbon dioxide emissions to 25 percent per person in 10 years; And decided to become a city that didn't have fossil fuels in 2050. Stockholm has long shown interest in the environment. The city’s current environment program is the fifth program since the first environment program was established in the middle of the 1970s. In 2011, Stockholm returned the European Capital's Green Capital to Hamburg, Germany.

Quality of air

Stockholm had a particularly worrisome extent of dust in the water tire (PM10), but from 2016 this level had fallen below the limit, after certain road restrictions were made. Instead, the problem in 2016 was that nitrogen dioxide came from diesel engines. In 2016 the rate of urban emissions (measured in the roof of Torkel Knutssonsgatan): NO2 μ 11 g/m3, NOx 14 g/m3, PM10 12 μ g/m3, PM2.5.9 g/m3, socket 0.4 g/m3, subatomic particle 6200003/m3. So, SO2 0.4 μ g/mTotal3Profile, ozone 51 μ g/m3. For the average level of urban road (crowded road traffic density line Hornsgatan), this is: NO2 43 g/m3, NOx 104 g/m3, PM10 23 μ g/m3, PM2.5μ9 g/m3, 1.0 μ g/m3, 17111100000000000 cm0000000 3 milligrams per million, ozone 31 gμ/m3.
