That prompted me to contact the ceo of Saab," the ambassador recalls. "I asked him if this great car from Sweden, which runs on ethanol, is available in the U.S. He said no and explained some of the reasons why. I told him that doesn't make sense to me.

In what was once a run-down industrial and inner harbor area, a popular and attractive new residential district has been created which is a model of sustainable urban development.

There have been many, many meetings held over the course of the years," observes Tengbom architect and partner Stellan Fryxell, who has been involved in Hammarby Sjöstad virtually since its inception in the late 1990s.
