national term:

Miljonprogrammet

national definition:

År 1965 antog riksdagen ett bostadspolitiskt program vars mål var att en miljon nya bostäder skulle byggas under en tioårsperiod, åren 1965-74. Anledningen till programmet var att det rådde stor bostadsbrist. Målet överskreds med hela 6000 bostäder. Under de sista åren av programperioden övergick bostadsbristen i ett överskott med outhyrda lägenheter. Fortfarande 1990 utgjorde bostäderna från miljonprogrammet en stor del av bostadsbeståndet (ca 25%).
Miljonprogrammets bostäder hade god teknisk standard och modern utrustning då de byggdes. Trots detta har det uppstått problem i områdena och de har ofta associerats med segregation och social misär. I dag görs dock insatser i form av satsning på arbetsplatser, bättre skolor, ombyggnad och miljöförbättringar.


english term:

"Million homes programme"

english definition:

In the year 1965, parliament adopted a housing policy programme the goal of which was that a million new dwellings should be constructed during a ten-year period during the years 1965-74. The reason behind the programme was a severe housing shortage. The goal was exceeded with 6000 dwellings. During the last years of the programme period the housing shortage changed into an excess of housing with unlet flats. Even in 1990 the dwellings from the ‘Million homes programme' constituted a large part of the housing stock (about 25%).
The dwellings of the ‘Million homes programme' had a good technical standard and had modern equipment when they were built. Despite this, problems have arisen in these areas and they have often been associated with segregation and social misery. Today efforts are made in the shape of investments in better schools, redevelopment and environmental improvements.
