Walk through the miserable and unsanitary history of Stockholm from medieval to modern times.
Think about the fact that Europe’s first green capital, in 2010, once used to be the least environmentally sound. A true pigsty in fact.
We walk through the streets and alleys of the Old Town. Along the way, we explore the city’s poor living conditions in the past.
We take a closer look at rubbish, sanitation, disease, poor housing and poverty. We also discover the hardship of life in areas that are now among Stockholm's most fashionable neighbourhoods.
