The platform of the metro station

Vällingby is a suburban district in West Stockholm, Sweden. It is organized into Hässelby-Vällingby borough. Vällingby was planned in the early 1950's.

In 1954, the Stockholm new town of Vällingby was inaugurated. It soon became world famous as a unique, well-planned city district serviced by the underground metro. The ultra modern facilities at the Centre, and the white houses in green park-like surroundings became a symbol of the Swedish middle-way Welfare state.

Vällingby was the first ABC suburb, which is an acronym for Arbete - Bostad - Centrum, or Work - Housing - Centre. The residents were supposed to work, live and do their everyday shopping there, and only have to take the subway to central Stockholm in case they wanted to use the commodities of a city, such as cultural events or specialised shopping.
