Utby, Residential district in northeastern Gothenburg, Sweden.

Utby is a district in northeastern Gothenburg, about 6 km east of the city centre and north of the Säveån river. It consists almost entirely of terraced houses and modest villas, built from the 1930s to the 1960s, with later rental flats in Fjällbo and denser housing from 2020. The district covers 273 hectares.

Utby was countryside until the early 1900s; building began around 1910, and from the 1930s Egnahemsbyrån developed the area as an owner-occupied suburb in stages until the 1960s. In 1905 Anders Mattsson founded Utbynäs Villastad by subdividing Utby Stom and nearby farms. Fjällbo industrial area arose when a new State Railways workshop opened at the turn of 1928/1929.

The name Utby comes from a parish that was merged into Partille in 1571. Anders Mattssonsgatan is named after the director who in 1905 created Utbynäs Villastad, and his wife Hulda took the initiative for Utby Church. Climbing is part of local life: the crags draw climbers from Denmark and Norway, and the annual Climb In event is held there.

Utby lies about 6 km east of central Gothenburg, north of the Säveån river. The district is spread over 273 hectares, so expect longer walks between its parts. The climbing crags below Fjällbo ängar meadows, framed by oak forest, are reached on foot from the housing areas.

Utby is best known for its climbing crags, which are of national importance and draw climbers from Denmark and Norway as well as Sweden. The annual Climb In event is held here, and below the rock lies Fjällbo ängar, framed by oak forest.
