The Community of Huddinge 
The community of Huddinge is situated south of Stockholm and bor- 
ders on the city. The central parts of the community are about 10 kilo- 
metres from Stockholm city. On January 1, 1968, the population of 
Huddinge amounted to 50,075 citizens, and during the last four years it 
has increased by, on an average, more than 3,000 persons a year. The 
community includes about 130 square kilometers of land area, of 
which about 30 square kilometres have been planned in detail and built 
upon. About 20 square kilometres have been supplied with communal 
water and sewage pipes. 
To a great extent the community consists of old villa areas and 
therefore it is very spread-out. This is illustrated by the fact that at 
present about 24,000 of the inhabitants of the community live in small 
houses. In the older villa areas the sites are relatively large and a 
certain concentration is now in progress by alteration of the town plan- 
ning and subdivision of old sites. The supply mains of the community 
are being continually extended and at the same time the street network 
IS undergoing certain improvement. 
The need of large scale maps 
In a community of the kind sketched above, the need of large scale 
maps is obvious in various connections. To meet the demand for such 
maps, in the autumn of 1966 and the winter of 1967 a programme for 
large scale mapping of parts of the community was drawn up. The work 
on the programme started with an investigation to determine the require- 
ments of the community for large scale maps. In the course of this 
investigation the following facts appeared. 
The community has no uniform collection of large scale maps. As is
