The outskirts
of Malmö
This page is about the outskirts of Malmö.
In the outskirts, you can find Turning
Torso, Malmö´s newest landmark, and the bridge that connects Malmö
and Sweden: Öresundsbron.
You can also find the huge limestone quarry there. These three important places
are all situated in the southwestern outskirts
of Malmö, just as some upscale
residence areas. But Öresundsbron and Turning Torso have seperate pages. In
Hyllie (the same area as the bridge and
the water tower are), Europe´s tallest
building was planned, but it has just been cancelled. It was the hotel/office
scraper Scandinavian Tower, that would
be 85 floors and 325m.

Hyllie and its planned new districit Hyllievång, will be built in the future close to Öresundsbron in southwest Malmö, has a lot of large projects going on.
In Hyllie, Malmö Arena is just completed next to the once so lonely Hyllie Vattentorn from 1973. The new city tunnel station, a shopping mall with about
220 stores, Emporia, and the highrise Point Hyllie are under construction in the area, plus several new residential buildings are planned. Also 2 hotels,
Chinatown, wide avenues, a botanical garden and a theme park are being planned in the area.
The banderole in the front is and ad for the Point Hyllie highrise and its proximity to all the world's airports, because the trains just take a few minutes to Copenhagen's
airport from the nearby citytunnel station.
Some of Hyllie's landmarks can be seen in the background: Emporia, Malmö Arena, Point Hyllie phase 1, Hyllie vattentorn and a large parking garage.
Hyllie Vattentorn, the 62m high water tower from 1973 has a coffee shop and an observation deck above the four pillars
Many people think it looks like an UFO, especially
at nights when it is shining with a cool strong blue light. Sadly, as you can
see, the structure needs a renovation.
This is close to the site were the very tall skyscrapers Scandinavian
Tower and Malmö Tower were supposed to be built.
Malmö Arena, is the huge new arena for events like hockey, other sports and concerts. It was completed in 2009 (but the picture is from 2010). It can take 12-14 000
visitors and is located just next to the water tower.

Hyllie station with the artwork “Minuten” above. It is named Minuten because it takes a minute for the light effect to rotate around the circular roof.

Svågertorp:
Svågertorp is a new area with several large retail stores like Ikea and Bauhaus, located next to the highway close to Öresundsbron.
It is bordering Hyllie.
The brand new IKEA (late 2009), that is the world’s 2nd largest (after Stockholm).
Lorensborg is the commie block district, next to Pildammsparken,where Malmö's 2 stadiums are.
Swedbank Stadion is Malmö’s new main football stadium. It is be 27 m tall and host 21 000 visitors and was completed in spring 2009.
Swedbank Stadion u/c 2008.
Malmö stadion, the old stadium from 1958, will only hold athletic games in the future. It can take 26 500 visitors, more than the new stadium.
Vintrie:
Bunkeflo kyrka in Vintrie, a small village that soon will grow together with Hyllie.
Here you can see how close Vintrie is to Hyllie in Malmö.
Turning Torso can also be seen from Vintrie.
Jägersro:
Jägersrotornet is the tallest TV tower in
Malmö(110m with mast). It is dominating Jägersro and all of the southern
outskirts of Malmö.
Heleneholm:
Heleneholmsverket. This 130m tall chimney
is Malmö´s tallest structure until Turning Torso is completed (not
counting Öresundsbron).
North Malmö:
The HQ for the local newspapers Sydsvenska Dagbladet
and Kvällsposten in the northern outskirts of Malmö.
Malmö Airport:
Malmö Airport (formerly called Sturup). It is pretty small, because of the nearness to Copenhagen Airport. I
find the yellow theme pretty ugly. Sturup is situated very far from the city.
