Sweden only stopped mandatory bunkers in apartment buildings in the 80s IIRC. They might start again

  I'm Norwegian. The basement of my primary school was constructed to double as a bomb shelter.

    Swiss new housing isn't mandated to have underground bomb shelters as of late, but people are still planned to a shelter nearby - indeed schools or whatever else.

  Sweden currently has 65000 shelters [1] with space for about 7 million [2] people while the population has risen to more than 10 million people. According to MSB (Myndigheten för samhällsskydd och beredskap or 'civil protection and preparedness authority') no new shelter has been built since 2002 and 'no new shelters are being built at this moment - in their FAQ about the subject the answer to the question 'Can I build a new shelter' is 'No, at the moment no new shelters are being built in Sweden, it is up to the government to decide whether the current threat level mandates the construction of new shelters'. This only goes for public shelters - one of the 65000 mentioned above - and people are free to build their own shelters so it is hard to say how many shelters there actually are.
