Stockholm City, Loudden

Urban development at its best showcasing the reuse of underground facilities. In an old industrial environment located in northern Stockholm, petroleum products have been stored both above ground in large cisterns and underground in large rock caverns. The rock caverns are now being cleaned up, then reinforced before new construction can begin above. Now we have the luxury of extra space in Stockholm, so what shall we do with it? Perhaps we can come up with an idea together?

This tour is split into a morning tour and an afternoon tour. You can select which one you’d like to participate in while registering for the congress.
