Malmö Municipality

This administrative region on the southwestern coast of Sweden encompasses the city and surrounding areas with various landscapes and settlements. The terrain spans flat to gently rolling ground with coastal stretches, green spaces, and built zones that blend together.

The current boundaries formed in 1971 through mergers of several smaller municipalities and the original city. This consolidation created the modern administrative structure that exists today.

The place reflects the history of a port city where people from many countries live together and maintain their own traditions. You see this in daily life through the different languages, shops, and celebrations that shape the character of the region.

A stable network of roads and public transport connects all parts of the area together. Proximity to the Danish border makes the region accessible for commuters and visitors from abroad.

Three nature reserves shape the landscape, including a former limestone quarry that has become a valuable habitat for rare plants and animals. This transformed site shows how industry and nature can come together again today.
