Districts Of Sweden
Municipalities in Sweden are in some rare cases divided into smaller districts or urban districts, and are sometimes assigned administrative boards responsible for certain areas of governance in their respective areas.

The degree of administrative autonomy of these districts similarly varies greatly, but is normally very limited. On 1 January 2016 a new form of division of Sweden was introduced. This division is called registration districts (). These are used for certain administrative purposes by some national authorities, such as land ownership and statistics. This is not the same as the ''urban districts'' which are divisions held by some municipalities. Stockholm Overview ...

Vällingby (borough)
Vällingby () is a suburban district in Västerort, the western part of Stockholm Municipality, Sweden. It is notable for being one of the first modern planned suburbs in Sweden. Vällingby was inaugurated in 1954 as part of Stockholm's post-war decentralisation plans. The area is centred around Vällingby Centrum, one of Sweden’s first shopping centers. History Early history The agricultural land where the modern suburb now stands has a history stretching back over 2,000 years, at least twice as old as Stockholm.

In 1953 the number of inhabitants barely exceeded 2,000. Post-war development As part of a ...
