Town restructuration of Malmberget, Sweden

The extensive urban restructuring project in Malmberget involves relocating sections of the town to protect residents from mining-related ground subsidence.

Mining operations in Malmberget led to the initiation of a large-scale town restructuring project by LKAB to ensure community safety and mining continuation.

The transformation maintains the mining heritage of Malmberget while integrating new public spaces and community facilities for local residents.

Environmental zones within the restructured areas create green buffer spaces between residential neighborhoods and mining operations, offering recreational opportunities.

The gradual relocation of entire neighborhoods demonstrates how industrial needs and urban planning merge to form new community spaces.
