News Article

We discussed a news story which dealt with the growth of Malmö and the various areas (stadsdelar). I'll see if I can link to the original story, but it may take some finding. This led on to a discussion on why the city had grown so rapidly recently and who the largest identifiable group of immigrants to the area were and why. No surprises for guessing that it's the Danish, and they started to arrive after the bridge was built, recolonizing the land after they lost it in the 17th century to Sweden. The main reason for living in Sweden for the Danes is the relative strength of the Danish Kronor (approximately 1.5 times stronger), so they get more for their money. The housing is also quite a bit cheaper too.
