Malmo

Yesterday we visited the Swedish city of malmo. This city is rich with modern architecture but still keeps their original heritage alive. As I walked through the old streets, modern buildigs sat side by side with buildings from hundreds of years ago. This city is really energy efficient as well with a wind turbine farm off the coast and sustainable housing. The city was designed with the intent of making it very green with narrow streets so cars could not pass through and ingenious storm drains. Malmo was my favorite city and a place that I will visit again soon.

  1. I thought that the new community (university buildings etc.) was very ingenious. It was the first time I saw such a modern community. It reminded me a little bit of hafen city in Hamburg but definetely more accesible to the average public.
