Alternative City participation.
Alternative sightseeing tours
Some individuals in Alternative City had participated
during their origins in Powwow (including Ingrid Eriksson and Per
Janse). As June 1972 approached, the entire organization also began
to organize. They held an open house for speeches and performances
in Kungsträdgården, arranged free lending of white bicycles
(after
an idea from Amsterdam)
and arranged sightseeing tours around Stockholm among traffic carousels
and demolition blocks (Stockholm City was at that time just a pit
that would provide space for it is a
car-sucking office and shopping complex,
a “functional” city according to Stockholm’s municipal
politicians).
The bus was powered by biogas, an almost exotic
fuel at the time.
