Stockholm's new addition

During our visit to Kulturhuset in Stockholm this past weekend, it was intriguing to see the new up and coming changes to Stockholm.
Most noteworthy changes coming up would be:
-Norman Foster's design for Slussen that elegantly connects and simplifies the hot mess
-new sports stadium (looks like it was designed by Rhino-cool indeed)
-new additions to transit system connecting major arteries
-Waterfront development by City Hall (area which i'm using for my independent summer research project)
-Development of Western waterfront/port
-New library by Asplund's library (funding is the big issue now)

I am already excited to see how things will change during my next visit after fall semester, and even more so next summer!
