Figure 6
The three-panel choropleth map displays “Sweden” divided into “municipal regions”, with separate vertical color bars for each panel. Panel “(a) Total usable floor space” shows municipalities shaded using a purple-to-yellow gradient. The vertical legend on the right is labeled “Usable floor space square kilometer” and ranges from 0 at the bottom to 12 at the top with increments of 2. Dark purple indicates values near 0, while yellow indicates values near 12. Most northern municipalities appear dark purple, indicating low usable floor space, while higher values shown in green to yellow tones are concentrated around “southern Sweden” and particularly around the “Stockholm region”, which is highlighted by a circular inset. Panel “(b) Floor space per capita” uses a similar purple-to-yellow gradient. The vertical legend is labeled “square meter per capita” and ranges from 25 at the bottom to 225 at the top with increments of 25. Lower per-capita values appear in dark purple and blue shades, mainly in “southern” and “metropolitan areas”, while higher values in green to yellow tones appear in several “central” and “northern municipalities”. The “Stockholm inset” shows mixed values with predominantly lower to mid-range tones. Panel “(c) Average construction year” uses the same gradient style. The vertical legend is labeled “Year” and ranges from 1935 at the bottom to 1975 at the top with increments of 5. Dark purple corresponds to earlier construction years around 1935, while yellow corresponds to later years around 1975. Earlier average construction years dominate many “southern” and “central municipalities”, while later construction years in green to yellow tones appear in parts of “northern Sweden” and within the “Stockholm inset”.Total usable floor space, construction year and floor space values visualized by municipality: (a) total usable floor space (km2); (b) floor space per capita (m2) and (c) average construction year.
