Stockholm Exhibition: in summer 1930 the Stockholmsutställningen brought functionalism to a mass audience on Djurgården, with ArkDes recording four million visitors and a serious programme to modernise popular taste.

In the chronology of the Swedish model, this is now treated as a cultural-public-mood event rather than a generic reform placeholder.

Source confidence is B: the exhibition and functionalism claim are institutionally supported, while broader welfare-state design interpretation still needs scholarship.
