A housing-and-office project planned for a section of Stockholm would be the world's largest "wooden city," its developer said.
The developer, Atrium Ljungberg, said in June that the Stockholm Wood City project would total more than 250,000 square meters — some 2.7 million square feet — and include 7,000 office spaces and 2,000 homes.
Here are renderings of what the project is expected to look like.
