Stureby

Stureby is a residential district (Swedish: stadsdel) located in the borough of Enskede-Årsta-Vantör in southern Stockholm, Sweden. It is primarily known for its modernist architecture, consisting mainly of apartment buildings constructed in the 1950s.

The area's development was part of a larger expansion of Stockholm's suburbs after World War II, driven by a need for affordable housing. The planning of Stureby emphasized green spaces and communal areas, reflecting the social ideals of the time.

Stureby is served by the Stockholm Metro (Tunnelbana) via the Stureby station on the Green Line. The station's architecture is also typical of the era, contributing to the overall character of the district.

The district primarily consists of multi-family housing, though there are some single-family homes in certain sections. Services within Stureby include local shops, schools, and parks. Its proximity to larger centers like Globen City provides access to a wider range of amenities and employment opportunities.

Historically, the land where Stureby is located was primarily agricultural. The name "Stureby" likely originates from a historical farm or estate that existed in the area.
