The History

At the outbreak of WW2 in 1939, there was an acute shortage of housing in Sweden, spawning ideas for publicly-owned housing companies.

As companies in the Linköping area, in particular SAAB, started to grow, the population of Linköping increased by 2,000 annually from 1940. In the previous year, 1939, a motion proposed in the City Council addressed the need to take necessary steps to deal with the increasing shortage of housing. This led to the formation of the company Råbergahus on 2 October 1942. The intention was to supply good housing at an affordable rent to the inhabitants of Linköping. The first building was completed in the following year in Råberga on what is now called Gamla Tanneforsvägen.

The driving force behind this project was Carl Johansson. Following a new motion in the City Council the company was reorganised, allocated considerably larger resources and given additional directives.

On 28 December 1948, the company changed its name to AB Stångåstaden and a period of extensive construction in Linköping followed. Since its establihsment Stångåstaden has been tasked with ensuring that Linköping has affordable housing to satisfy the growing population.

Customer Panel

Stångåstaden has established a Customer Panel comprising of 10 young tenants in the age group 18-25 years, all of which are interested in having some influence on our business.

The members of this Panel are called Young Consultants and their role is to participate in meetings with the Management Group where they will discuss developing and improving the company. Meetings are held four times a year and the participants of the Panel are recompensed for their time.

The Customer Panel is very important to Stångåstaden as the members provide an insight into how young people view housing, development of the housing areas as well as contributing with valuable proposals relating to decisions. In return the participants are given the unique opportunity to network and discuss strategic future issues.

First meeting

The first meeting was held 4 November 2014 and resulted in interesting discussions and several good ideas on how to improve recycling.

Second meeting
On 20 January a second meeting was held and matters such as Rental policy and safety and security in the housing areas were discussed.

At the first meeting the participants were asked to submit topics for subsequent meetings and rental policy and security were two of these.
