Stockholm, Sweden is located on 14 islands along the Baltic Sea and has an extensive archipelago. The city's waterfront has historically been important for trade and shipping but many ports were converted in the 19th century to accommodate population growth during industrialization. Today, the waterfront supports cruise ships and container shipping while the city aims to become more sustainable through initiatives like district heating.
