Kinesiska muren, Residential complex in Rosengård district, Malmö, Sweden.
The complex features two nine-story residential buildings that stretch roughly half a kilometer along Inner Ring Road in Malmö's Rosengård district. These parallel structures form a distinctive I-shape and contain hundreds of apartments across different ownership types.
The buildings were constructed in 1971 by the Municipal Housing Company MKB as part of the Million Program, a Swedish housing initiative addressing the shortage of affordable homes. In the 1980s, part of the space converted to offices, though residential use was later reintroduced.
The residential blocks became a gathering place for diverse communities who built their lives here over the decades. Today, the complex reflects how people from many backgrounds have made this neighborhood their home.
The complex sits directly along Inner Ring Road, making it easy to locate and observe from public areas. Visitors can walk around the exterior and surrounding grounds freely, though access to private residential areas is restricted.
The name refers to the continuous, wall-like stretch of these buildings running through the neighborhood. This nickname emerged from the way the twin structures form a long, unbroken line across the landscape.
