It seems to me that Stockholm, culturally and ethnically, was very homogeneous hundreds of years ago. That homogeneity was reflected in the architecture of the time as well. And now they are preserving that, at least architecturally. Many seem to think that’s good (at least in context).

But what about diversity of food? Industry? Is homogeneity of architecture really something we want? Isn’t it backwards when many say it “feels good” when all the buildings look the same?
