Where will everyone live? This is a question that was also asked at the end of the 1800s. There was land in Solna parish and around 1900 Hagalund, Huvudsta and Råsunda emerged. In 1943, the three communities became the core areas of the new municipality of Solna. Solna guide Michael Karlsson lectures on people, events and ideas that were important for this development. He is particularly interested in what unites and separates the three districts today.
