We argue that there has been a specifically Scandinavian model of leisure consumption during the short 20th century (1918–1989) taking the form of separate summer homes. By paying specific attention to two 20th century de-location patterns in the areas of transportation and leisure activities respectively, we analyze the shaping of a Scandinavian model of leisure.
