Did you think that the whole city of Malmö was flat? This thread is about my brandnew photos from the gritty district Kirseberg, also called “Backarna” (the hills), since it is almost the only part of Malmö that is not flat. It is located in the northern part of Malmö, between Värnhem and Arlöv. It has some nice small streets with old smallscale brick houses, but parts of Kirseberg where destroyed in the 60s when they started to build ugly “miljonprograms modernst” buildings in the area. The center of the district, Kirsebergstorg, has suffered the most. Despite being so close to central Malmö, Kirseberg feels like a town of its own.

The prizon in Kirseberg looks actually pretty good from the outside.

This is not Kirseberg, it is actually right next to Värnhemstorget: Ringgatan with the backside of the new “Entré” complex at the end. I think this gritty street has an interesting architecture since it reminds a bit of cites in USA:s southern states!
it's an interesting neighborhood, though, for sure.
