History

The City of Stockholm bought the land in 1961. A new general plan for Sätra was drawn up in 1962. Construction began in 1964 and four years later the entire district was almost completed. Together Sätra metro station and Sätra Centrum form the hub. Just east of the center is the Sätra industrial area, with buildings dating from the late 1960s and 1970s. To the west are more residential buildings.[1]

Sätra metro station is on the Red Line (Röda Linjen) of Stockholm metro. The station was opened in 1965 as the southwest terminus of the extension from Örnsberg. In 1967, the line was extended to Skärholmen.[2]
