In the late 20th century, Stockholm became a modern, technologically advanced and ethnically diverse city. Throughout the century, many industries shifted away from work-intensive activities into more high-technology and service-industry knowledge-based areas.

The city continued to expand and new districts were created, some with high proportions of immigrants. Meanwhile, the inner city ([[Norrmalm]]) went through a criticised as well as an admired wave of modernisation in the [[post-war]] period, the [[Redevelopment of Norrmalm]], securing the city's geographical center as the political and business center for the future.

<!--From 1909, the [[Social Democrats]] along with the Liberals have had the majority in the [[Stockholm Council]]. (As it reads now, the sentence is not correct. Power has shifted between different constellations. There might have been a Social Democrat-Liberal coalition in the early 20th century, though, but later, and up to approx. 1950 the Social Democrats were in power in the city.-->In 1923 the Stockholm municipal government moved to a new building, the [[Stockholm City Hall]]. The [[Stockholm International Exhibition (1930)|Stockholm International Exhibition]] was held in 1930. In 1967 the city of Stockholm was integrated into [[Stockholm County]].
