Million Programme – successful Swedish program to build 1M new homes over 10y

The Million Programme was a Swedish public housing initiative launched in 1965 with the goal of building one million new homes over a ten-year period to address a severe housing shortage. The program successfully constructed approximately 1,006,000 dwellings by 1975, significantly expanding Sweden's housing stock and improving living standards for millions of citizens, though it later faced criticism for creating large, monotonous suburban developments with social segregation issues.
