In the early 20th century, Lidingö was primarily an agrarian society, with vast stretches of farmland and small communities dotting the landscape. Over the decades, this island in the Stockholm archipelago has transformed dramatically, evolving into a suburb characterized by luxurious residences and affluent inhabitants. A new book explores this fascinating transformation over the last 100 years, revealing how economic shifts, urban planning, and changing societal aspirations have contributed to the island’s current status. The book also delves into personal stories and historical events that have shaped Lidingö’s unique identity.
