Historical background
Fourteen islands of Stockholm are connected by 57 bridges of different design and purpose, from pedestrian and railway to classic multispan and cable bridges. However by the end of the past century the city developed a dominant tendency in bridge construction - to build high fixed-span bridges that do not hinder maritime, vehicle, public transport or pedestrian traffic. Such bridges even allow citizens and tourists to enjoy wonderful views of the city.

Historical background
Country life was borrowed by the Swedes from the Germans more than 100 yeas ago. Garden plots were allotted in Skane province to poor families under privileged conditions enabling them to grow vegetables and fruit for sale. As garden plots transformed from the labour place to the recreation area, country agglomerations appeared in Sweden like in Russia. Stockholm citizens hold garden plots under lease rights. To lease a garden plot of one hundred square meters, one should have a permanent residence in the city. Any construction is prohibited on all leased plots as a lessee obtains a plot with an already built house and a small barn for garden needs. Similar one-storey cottages in country colonies have one or two rooms with garden furniture from the nearest IKEA.

Historical background
Telephone services in Stockholm began to be installed in 1877 as the telephone set was demonstrated to King Oscar II. Since Alexander Bell, an inventor of the telephone, did not patent his invention in Sweden, the well-known Lars Magnus Ericsson, a founder of the like-named company, started to manufacture telephone equipment in the same year. However the first public telephone network was launched in 1880 by the Stockholm telephone company of Bell and the rental fee in a 121-user network was 160-280 krones, subject to the distance to a station, which is now equivalent to 10-15 thousand krones. In 1887 there appeared a futuristic telephone tower for 4,000 telephone lines, in 1908 - for 106 thousand users, in 1923 - the first automatic system... Now corded telephones in Sweden are some sort of anachronysm, typical of big offices, let alone with street automatic telephones. These have been forced out by cheap, convenient and publicly available mobile service and the Internet.

Historical background
The Katarina lift is a passenger lift built in 1881 as an elevator from the Slussen transportation hub to the Södermalm district. It acquired its current appearance in 1935 during reconstruction of the junction. As subway emerged the elevator became obsolete and the lift turned into a tourist attraction and the bridge between the lift and the mountain top became an observation site. However the lift was closed in 2010 due to unreliable design. According to the recently developed renovation plan the elevator may be put into operation again in 2019.
