About this audio guide
This audio guide to Linnégatan in Gothenburg looks hard at a boulevard that is not quite as old as it looks, and at what happened to its houses in the early nineteen-eighties. It then turns to autumn twenty twelve, when the city's parks office drew up plans for the linden trees above you. Best heard on the pavement under the branches, looking along the facades.
