However, before the municipal reform of 1971, there were 132 municipalities with the title of a city as its shown in the Map of Sweden with cities. Today the term is normally used describing greater localities, most of them former administrative cities.

These are decisions made by the municipalities themselves and in legal situations they shall use the official name with kommun (municipality).

Most of the former administrative cities are today localities (tätorter) and seats of municipalities as its mentioned in the Map of Sweden with cities. A number of suburban cities have grown together with neighbours and are nowadays seldom considered as separate cities: Huskvarna (part of Jönköping); Mölndal (part of Gothenburg urban area); Djursholm, Nacka, Solna, Sundbyberg (part of Stockholm urban area); Lidingö (separated from Stockholm by water, but anyhow often counted to its urban area).

Stockholm (Swedish pronunciation: [ˈstɔkːˈhɔlm, ˈstɔkːˈɔlm, ˈstɔkːɔlm] (About this sound listen to the second one)) is the capital and the largest city of Sweden and constitutes the most populated urban area in Scandinavia. Stockholm is the most populous city in Sweden, with a population of 864,324 in the municipality (2010), 1.4 million in the urban area (2010), and around 2.1 million in the 6,519 km2 (2,517.00 sq mi) metropolitan area (2010) as you can see in the Capital of Sweden map. As of 2010, the Stockholm metropolitan area is home to approximately 22% of Sweden population.

The 17th century saw Sweden grow into a major European power, reflected in the development of the city of Stockholm. From 1610 to 1680 the population multiplied sixfold. In 1634 Stockholm became the official capital of the Swedish empire. Trading rules were also created that gave Stockholm an essential monopoly over trade between foreign merchants and other Swedish and Scandinavian territories. In 1710 a plague killed about 20,000 (36 percent) of the population as its shown in the Capital of Sweden map. After the end of the Great Northern War the city stagnated. Population growth halted and economic growth slowed. The city was in shock after having lost its place as the capital of a Great Power. However Stockholm maintained its role as the political centre of Sweden and continued to develop culturally under Gustav III.

Apart from being Sweden capital, Stockholm houses many national cultural institutions. There are two UNESCO World Heritage sites in the Stockholm area: The Royal Palace Drottningholm (within Ekerö Municipality) and the Skogskyrkogården (The Woodland Cemetery). Stockholm is one of the cleanest capitals in the world. The city was granted the 2010 European Green Capital Award by the EU Commission, this was Europe first "green capital" as its mentioned in the Capital of Sweden map. Some of the reasons why Stockholm won the 2010 European Green Capital Award were: its integrated administrative system, which ensure that environmental aspects are considered in budgets, operational planning, reporting, and monitoring; its cut in carbon dioxide emissions by 25% per capita in ten years; and its decision towards being fossil fuel free by 2050.
