Lidingö stad—a municipality located in Stockholm County
Sweden— faces the same challenges as most other municipalities in Sweden to ensure compliance with the Freedom of the Press Act
The principle of public access to official documents is a fundamental principle of Sweden's constitution
that municipal activities should be conducted as openly as possible under the scrutiny of the public and the media
The process of handling requests for public documents is a time-consuming task that must be managed promptly in accordance with Chapter 2
Section 16 of the Freedom of the Press Act
Some municipalities have therefore allocated resources solely to handle this task
or these resources (such as administrators) are found within the operations where the task is added to the existing work
which cannot be performed when requests are received
could be used for more value-creating effort
Each individual request necessitates the responsible employee to perform a confidentiality assessment
reviewing all requested documents and determining what needs to be redacted
This includes manually redacting personally identifiable information (PII) and other classified material
This process is crucial for maintaining transparency and democracy
One of the challenges in maintaining the promptness requirement is that many of the requested documents can consist of
making the task of reviewing and identifying confidential information difficult
it often requires employees to work together to ensure everything is done correctly
Lidingö stad as part of the project “Rätt till insyn” decided to partner with IBM and ATEA to explore innovative ways to efficiently and effectively streamline its document assessment processes
they embarked on a transformational journey leveraging the potential of generative artificial intelligence (gen AI)
Lidingö stad employed IBM watsonx.ai and Natural Language Processing (NLP) technologies to automatically detect and flag potentially sensitive elements across vast volumes of documentation
By implementing gen AI capabilities alongside existing tools
the initiative aimed to significantly reduce processing durations
This technological integration aligned seamlessly with Lidingö stad’s operational landscape
the Lidingö stad employees remained integral participants in the process through a collaborative approach called human-in-the-loop (HITL)
HITL integrates human input into the development and use of AI systems
allowing employees to verify the AI’s automated suggestions and adjust outputs as necessary
IBM conducted weekly iterations to refine and tailor functional deliveries to meet Lidingö stad’s unique needs
The collaboration produced an innovative Minimum Viable Product (MVP) powered by watsonx NLP and gen AI technologies
automating the identification and removal of PII
Lidingö stad was able to effectively tackle the core obstacles inherent in conventional data masking practices
AI-assisted workflow that supports compliance with the Freedom of the Press Act
Transitioning from purely analogue practices to semi-automatic processes has also facilitated more consistency and fostered greater institutional responsiveness
IBM will continue refining Lidingö stad’s AI models
while ATEA will provide the necessary infrastructure and local expertise to integrate future developments seamlessly
the collaborators will co-create a pilot that uses AI to digitize
Both IBM and ATEA will help scale the current solution across other municipalities
they will ensure the municipality continues to evolve and meet new challenges
efficient solution for public document management and data masking
Lidingö stad views this initiative as part of a broader vision for document handling
aligned with ongoing collaboration alongside other municipalities within a Vinnova-funded project
This larger endeavor aims to establish a comprehensive framework for modernizing public document management across Sweden

“Two patients have very serious injuries but are in stable condition,” Karin Pukk Härenstam
chief physician at Astrid Lindgren’s Children’s Hospital
“One patient is less seriously injured and is expected to be able to leave hospital today.”
Several players from football club IFK Lidingö’s boys’ team were injured when lightning struck the football pitch
We’ve had a meeting and we had long meetings with Lidingö City Council and crisis management,” club president Markus Karlsson told Aftonbladet
He went to the site as soon as he found out and said everyone involved was in shock
“Our focus now is completely on supporting those affected,” he told the newspaper
The father of one of the injured boys told broadcaster TV4 that it didn’t look like it was going to turn into a thunderstorm when the group sought shelter from the torrential rain under a tree
“Then out of nowhere they’re hit by lightning,” he said
He said that his son was initially not able to feel his legs afterwards
but that he was feeling better now and should be able to return home after a few final check-ups in hospital
IFK Lidingö cancelled all youth activities on Friday
Lidingö City Council said it would continue to provide crisis support over the weekend
“There’s crisis support in various places on the island where worried and affected people can turn,” communications director Kristina Hagbard told TT

Knight Architects’ Lilla Lidingöbron bridge has opened to the public
playing a vital role in connecting Sweden’s island of Lidingö to the greater Stockholm area
Designed by leading bridge design practice Knight Architects in collaboration with engineers Sweco
the new Lilla Lidingöbron bridge was opened for pedestrians
cyclists and moped passengers in late 2022
Relied upon daily by around 4,000 pedestrians and cyclists
it is anticipated that more than 15,000 passenger journeys will be made every day by the new tram
the public transport and mobility options of the new bridge provide greater low and zero carbon travel options and contribute to a modal shift
directly responding to the City of Stockholm’s ambitions to increase renewable energy in transportation from 16% to 100% by 2040
The new bridge replaces Gamla Lidingöbron (Old Lidingö Bridge)
a low-level bridge which opened in 1925 and carried pedestrians
As the low-level crossing became increasingly expensive to maintain
the decision was taken in 2012 by commissioning client Lidingö Stad (Lidingö City) to replace the old bridge with a new £60m (700m SEK) crossing
with greater provision for active travel and twin tram lines
the new Lilla Lidingöbron is one of Sweden’s longest tramway bridges and is significantly wider than its predecessor
With a 7.4m-wide segregated cycle and pedestrian deck plus two local widenings as balconies
the new bridge provides a more generous space for cyclists and pedestrians and a safe and reliable year-round crossing
Together with a lower bridge gradient and plans for summertime seating
the bridge has a clear focus on user enjoyment: encouraging maximum active mobility across all social groups
Lilla Lidingöbron’s design responds to the rhythm of the neighbouring brutalist 1960s high-level road bridge with matching spanning arrangements
more elegant structural form with a sequence of gently curved spans rising gracefully to the central navigation channel
the historic listed ‘Temple of the Winds’ shelter from the original bridge – a waiting shelter for tram passengers at a junction in the old tram routes at Torsvik on the Lidingö landing – was carefully removed and restored
It now provides a historic reminder of the region’s connections and acts as a beacon
welcoming users to Lidingö in the dark winter months and encouraging use of the bridge as a destination as well as a crossing in summertime
Knight Architects was appointed from the outset of the bridge’s design before being retained as client advisor for the Design & Build tender and throughout the construction stage
Extensive public and stakeholder engagement was carried out as part of the design process
said: “Lilla Lidingöbron plays a vital role in connecting the island of Lidingö to Stockholm’s main urban area
Its attractive design is focused on the user and supports widespread year-round use
The new bridge is already encouraging modal shift to low-carbon transport alternatives
At Knight Architects we seek to improve connectivity for communities and generate lasting value
so we are very proud that Lilla Lidingöbron will make such a significant contribution to the city of Stockholm’s ambitious renewable energy targets.”
said: “This is a great day for the people of Lidingö and all travellers on the Lidingö tram
as you can now travel all the way from Gåshaga to Ropsten
We are very pleased with the effectiveness of the bridge: generous spaces for both bicycles and public transport
We are now becoming part of Stockholm again

The local council plans aims to start building a new bridge in 2019 and demolish the Lidingö bridge in 2022. Urban Nouveau hopes their petition and increased media attention will create a larger discussion about restoration of the bridge and Stockholm's future
They argue that the bridge contains public memory that should not be erased
as their plan to repurpose the structure would allow it to take on a new life as a symbol of Stockholm

The history of the annual Lidingöloppet
the world’s largest cross country running race
has been recognised with the World Athletics Heritage Plaque (category - Competition)
a World Athletics Cross Country Tour Silver competition that celebrates its 58th edition this weekend
is the 79th recipient of the World Athletics Heritage Plaque since the programme was created in December 2018
Lidingö – where the competition takes place – is an island suburb of Stockholm
while ‘loppet’ is Swedish for ‘race’
the race has been listed in the Guinness World Records as the world's largest cross country race
There are usually around 15,000 runners in the 30km
with other races bringing the total number of participants across the weekend to around 35,000 each year
“The Lidingöloppet is rightly renowned as one of the world’s great cross country running competitions,” World Athletics President Sebastian Coe said
“Its history and ongoing legacy are well deserving of a World Athletics Heritage Plaque
“A classic event in Sweden’s annual sporting calendar
Lidingöloppet’s impact on the development of recreational running has been profound
It has encouraged hundreds of thousands to take up exercise and get enjoyment from running in the vast
The World Athletics Heritage Plaque is a location-based recognition
awarded for 'an outstanding contribution to the worldwide history and development of the sport of track and field athletics and of out-of-stadia athletics disciplines such as cross country

which is organised by the sports clubs IFK Lidingö Orientering (SOK) and IFK Lidingö Track and Field (Friidrott)
told stadium.se: “The Lidingö race is like long interval training
Here it goes up and down all the time.”
The last 10km is most famous and called the 'last mile' (in Sweden
runners come to the famous 'Abborrbacken' (perch hill)
during which runners ascend 48m from sea level
The initiators of the race in 1965 were Karl Axel "Kacke" Karlberg and Sven Gärderud
Their inspiration came from an article by sportswriter Sven Lindhagen
who proposed an annual mass event for recreational runners comparable with the Vasaloppet for cross country skiers
The first ever Lidingö race was 30km long and 644 runners signed up
The distance for senior men has remained 30km
a women’s race over 15km was established
Since 1996 women also have had an official distance over 30km

Norway’s five-time world cross country champion Grete Waitz was a 12-time winner of the women’s 15km race
Other illustrious women’s race winners include Ingrid Kristiansen
The men’s 30km has been won by many distance running luminaries including Tapio Kantanen
a giant wreath has been awarded to the winner of each running category
A Kranskulla (Wreath Maiden) and a Kransmas (Wreath Man) are appointed each year from the members of the organising clubs to place the wreaths around the neck of each winner as they approach the finish line
That task is not easily accomplished while running

The contractor has been appointed for a 750m-long pedestrian
Client Lidingö Stad has announced that Implenia Sverige will build the US$61 million Lilla Lidingöbron (Lilla Lidingö Bridge)
The new crossing of the strait of Lilla Värtan will replace the low-level Old Lidingöbron
built in 1925 and now approaching the end of its economic service life. The island of Lidingö is part of the Stockholm inner archipelago and is connected to the main urban areas of Stockholm by the low-level crossing and by a high-level highway bridge that opened in 1971
Knight Architects has been the bridge architect adviser to Lidingö Stad since 2013 and supported consultant Sweco in the tender assessment process
The tenderers had to submit designs in response to design quality guidelines that encouraged design quality as well as value for money.
“We are very pleased that we can now proceed with this construction project
which is so important for both the Lidingo residents as well as visitors,” said Daniel Källenfors
“Lilla Lidingöbron will meet a growing need for good public transport and accessibility for cyclists and pedestrians for a long time to come.”
Lidingö Stad project manager Jan Werner said: “The contract is a major commitment both for contractors and clients
High demands have been made on the contractor's technical and financial capacity
environmental and work environment certifications
Lidingö Stad will support the contractor's organisation with [bridge] specialists

The 150 year steel-history of Sandvik comprises innumerable stories from a variety of applications
Tomas Rosén is an industrial designer and co-founder of Office for Product Design in Hong Kong
When he graduated from Linköping University in 2001
he inherited a Rolex diver's watch from his father
The watch case is made of 904L stainless steel
an extremely corrosion resistant austenitic steel that is often used in the process industry
He proposed to his girlfriend Christina this spring and to his great delight
Her engagement ring is a traditional golden ring
but Rosén had other plans for his own
With a specification of his Rolex case material
he started his search around the world for a piece of this material
It proved to be more difficult than he had imagined
After numerous contacts with steel wholesalers
he finally realized that the Sandvik 2RK65 steel exactly matched the specification
The persistent designer finally found a customer oriented global sales manager at Sandvik Primary Products
who personally brought a small piece of the steel to Stockholm
where Lidingö Finmekanik AB took over
Sandvik 2RK65 is a high-alloyed steel that emit high temperatures when machining and is therefore challenging from a cutting tool perspective
and the ring now decorates the left ring finger of a proud soon-to-become husband

A stand with offices and coffee underneath

Hampshire-based Ström Architects has won permission for two villas on the island of Lidingö in Stockholm
are backed by property developer Imola Förvlatning and have been designed in collaboration with structural engineer BKKAB
is 375m² and will be clad in black-stained timber
while the 300m² Pyrus 9 will have a ‘silvery grey’ shell and a lighter interior
Work is expected to start on site next year
The site is accessed from the southern side
Planning policies dictate the maximum footprint and build height
The two villas share a common design language
The larger house is clad in black-stained timber and has a dark interior
while the smaller house is clad with a Sioo-treated cladding which will rapidly weather to a light silvery grey
A concrete retaining wall is placed along the contours
over which a two-storey volume cantilevers to the north
while to the south it nestles into the steep slope
only presenting a single storey building to the entrance
Stepped landscaped terracing integrates the architecture into the site
The top floor comprises entrance with cloakroom
Towards the north – and the view – the buildings open up with 3.5m-tall glazed screens that slide into pockets within the walls to create a completely open corner
The middle floors contain bedroom accommodation
playroom and other ancillary spaces are in the basement
The three floors are connected via a staircase with a continuous rooflight above
which also allows access to the roof terraces
The roof terraces were a response to the steeply sloping north-facing site
which made it difficult to create level garden spaces with good orientation that weren’t overshadowed
The roof is easier to access from the top-floor living spaces
as well as allowing fantastic views across the treetops and over the beautiful archipelago

The Swedish businesswoman and blogger Isabella Löwengrip lives in a beautiful house that we are a bit jealous of
It was designed by the architectural firm Studio RAM and is located on an idyllic spot in Elfvik
Isabella Löwengrip went to live on her own at the age of fourteen to chase after her dream
Her success story starts right where she founded her online platform that would eventually become the largest in Scandinavia
Today she has more than 1.5 million readers
she also founded Sweden's fastest growing beauty company
As her website states: “You could call her a modern Oprah Winfrey as she empowers and uplifts women through her digital channels.” In between all these successes she also found the time to find her dream home
It is located on the Swedish peninsula of Elfvik and was designed by Studio RAM
The 100-metre-long driveway takes you to the house which is lined with brown wood panels that also come back inside
The 352m2 house is situated on a plot of 2100 m2 next to a large lake where there is even a jetty to moor a boat
The house is hidden between the greenery and has a beautiful view of the garden and the lake
The interior is open and minimalistic with many shades of white and gray
The same type of wood is also used in the living room
bathroom and walk-in closet which ensures that the same atmosphere is drawn in the entire house
The house is heated with rock heat via water-based underfloor heating
the architects opted for a tiled floor and placed the living room one level lower than the rest of the floor
they dressed the space with custom-made wooden walls
Be sure to take a look at the fireplace that was cleverly placed to divide one space in different rooms
One of the wings is for Isabella Löwengrip where her bedroom
(Ps.: the walk-in closet is every woman's dream!) The dressing room opens onto a large window that overlooks the living room
but perhaps not very convenient when you have visitors and are still trying on outfits

a notion underlined by the naming of the anonymous shopping mall Västermalmsgallerian*
This is an island where tendencies of any particular neighbourhood character are deemed unnecessary or pretentious
Instead residents emphasise the closeness to nature and how convenient it is to live so very very close to the city centre (did we mention that Kungsholmen is part of inner Stockholm?)

this could very well be the island for you

he felt destined to have a go at living abroad for himself
Tokyo and London he is now based in Stockholm
houses the Russian trade mission in Sweden and was seized by Swedish authorities in accordance with an international arbitration at the Stockholm Chamber of Commerce
The chamber had ruled that Russia needed to compensate German businessman Franz Sedelmayer for the nationalization of his company in Russia in 1992
Sedelmayer won every appeal up to the Supreme Court
the Swedish government agency for debt collection
announced on its website the sale of the 2,800-square-metre building for €2.3 million ($3.2 million)
Russia claims that Swedish justice has violated diplomatic immunity
"The Russian party does not recognize these acts of bailiffs ..
which the Russian Federation sees as a gross violation of international law," the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement
spokesman for the Office for Presidential Affairs warned that the Russian diplomats planned to stay in the building
will be immediately prevented," Khrekov told Russian newswire Interfax
who said he was willing to rent the building to Russia
they'll have to pay like anybody else," he told Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet (SvD)
Sedelmayer said he was very pleased with the final sum

just to the left when you cross Djurgårdsbrunn
run along the path with the water along your left
depending on your stamina and how long you want to run
divert your route into the woods or loop back through into the museum district

Lidingö Known as the ‘Island of Health’, Lidingö is covered with areas for exercise bunnies. It’s even home to the Swedish Sports Confederation’s development centre, where quite a few of Sweden’s elite athletes train. For runners head over Lidingöbron (Lidingö Bridge), which has dedicated running/walking and cycling paths
as you enter the island turn to the right and follow that path along the water
tranquil neighbourhoods and eventually an area called Gåshaga
where you can hop on a ferry back to the city

Hagaparken Perfect for running in both summer and winter
Hagaparken is located just north of Stockholm and can be reached on foot in just ten minutes from Odenplan
The best route is arguably the 11km loop around the lake
This park has loads of paths to run away from the water as well – lots of forest and open fields – and since it’s so popular with runners you’ll be sure to pick up some tips

Årstaviken Just south of Södermalm
Årstaviken is a beautiful and fairly straightforward run of about 8km stretching from Skanstullsbron (Skanstull’s Bridge) to Liljeholmensbron (Liljehomen’s Bridge)
What makes it so beautiful are the old boats
Most of the way the canal will be right alongside you
and because this path is maintained year round you can run even in the colder weather

Södermalm Södermalm may be crawling with hipsters but for runners in the city it’s the path that winds along the entire outer edge of the island that’s the real attraction
You can do a full lap of the island (around 11km)
and it’s got plenty of challenges if you want to avoid the completely level route
including steep stairs and plenty of up and down hill areas
That it rims the island means the views are pretty outrageous so don’t get distracted

Långholmen Short and sweet and utterly relaxing
a run around one of Stockholm’s smaller islands
It’s a moderate run and the charm of Långholmen will disappear behind you far too quickly
but since it’s super close to Södermalm you can extend the run in myriad ways
such as using Slussen as your starting point

Liljeholmen This area of the city is just starting to come into its own
which means it’s still peaceful and uncrowded
but new development has made the waterfront ideal for running
The best way to do this route is start at Hornstull and head over Liljeholm’s Bridge
From there it’s along the water and through parks and forests – or you can cross a bridge along the way and head back into the city
| Liljehomen is wonderful for shorter, more relaxed runs / Photo courtesy of Wikipedia Commons
Hellasgården This gorgeous recreation area just south of the city is part of Nacka Reserve and is littered with marked trails so you can run as long (or as little) as you’d like
There’s a big lake that is perfect for running around
as well as plenty of paths through the forests – some more challenging than others
You can also combine your run with kayaking or canoeing
cross country skiing or pretty much any other outdoor activity you can think of

Kungsholmen Much of the Kings Island, as Kungsholmen is known in English
is a bit ignored in Stockholm – it’s where you don’t go unless someone you know lives there or if you work there
Which all means that unless you’re hanging around City Hall or Rålambshovparken you’re going to find some pretty peaceful areas right in the middle of the city
City Hall is a great place to start your run – begin at City Hall
and soon you’ll pass Rålambshovsparken and be making your way around the whole island
which is one of the more gorgeous but lesser known routes in the city
| Kungsholmstrand is delightfully relaxed / Photo courtesy of Wikipedia Commons
Gärdet Nestled up close to Östermalm (and somewhat considered part of Ösermalm) Gärdet is open fields
and some deep forest – and the whole area is literally right at your door step
This is the perfect place for a bookend run – one that starts or ends your day
It will take you right to the outer edges of Djurgården so if you’re looking for a challenge combine the two areas and really go for it
all in the midst of some pretty heady scenery and plenty of peace
