Rosengård

Rosengård is a former residential district in central Malmö featuring large housing complexes built in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The area is defined by its apartment blocks and dense urban layout designed for a growing population.

The district emerged in 1972 as part of Sweden's Million Programme, a nationwide effort to build one million homes within a decade. This housing initiative reshaped urban development across the entire country.

The neighborhood is home to residents from many different countries, creating a diverse community where the Malmö Mosque and Västra Skrävlinge Church stand as local landmarks. These buildings shape the area's character and reflect the religious life of the people living there.

The neighborhood maintains strong connections to central Malmö through an extensive network of public transit and bicycle paths. These transportation options make it easy to explore the area or travel to other parts of the city.

Soccer player Zlatan Ibrahović grew up in this district, which later served as a filming location for the Netflix series Young Wallander. These two connections have brought particular attention to the area.
