Tour in Malmö:
The Western Harbour - Green and Energy-Efficient Urban Living

Malmö is developing its former industrial harbour area into the city of tomorrow. One of the first steps of this transformation, the area BO01, was completed in 2001 and contains 160 ha of sustainable living on an urban dockland. The residential development focuses on the latest high-tech solutions and forms a Swedish flagship of energy efficiency. In spite of its high density, this area aims to be in harmony with nature as much as possible, with diverse green space and a high biodiversity. On the Western Dockland the corkscrew shaped Turning Torso also forms Malmö’s most important landmark, looking out over the Sound.
