The central station (“Centralen”), the largest city tunnel station:
The main train station of Malmö has been completely reconstructed to be able to host the city tunnel and all its new passengers.
The Centralen station has TV displays, here showing Asian landscapes.

At the central station, we discovered that a lot of theatre people were hired to act and dress like “weird” people, old time people and weird beings.
Back on the train again. Next: Hyllie!
Station Hyllie:
Hyllievång is the new district, taking place in the southwestern outskirts of Malmö, very close to the Öresund bridge. Some significant projects:
Hyllie Vattentorn, a futuristic water tower from 1973, used to be the landmark.
The new large Malmö Arena was completed in 2009 here.
Two 200m+ skyscrapers have been proposed here, but have been replaced by the 30-storey curvy highrise Point Hyllie, that will be Malmö’s 2nd tallest building after Turning Torso.
Emporia, that will become Scandinavia’s largest and most architecturally outstanding shopping mall is under construction here. It will have 220 stores!
A new hotel is proposed and approved, that will have a very different design.
A lot of new apartment buildings will be constructed.
A botanical garden is planned.
An alley is planned.
Svågertorp is located nearby, this station will soon be closed. The world’s 2nd largest IKEA has been built here as well as large home imporevement stores like Bauhaus, and many other kinds of large stores.

Emporia. Will be Scandinavias’s largest shopping mall with 220 stores.
The new square is taking place. Malmö Arena, Hyllie Vattentorn and Point Hyllie (will have 30 floors) are all futuristic buildings in the area.
A birch wood is planned on the square.
Malmö Arena was inaugurated in 2009. Concerts and sports events are taking place.
Artist making snow sculptures.
Point Hyllie, the lower section. The taller one will have 27 floors and be 95 m tall, second tallest after Turning Torso.
The nearby 60s commie block district Holma is a big contrast to the modern Hyllievång. (I thought it needed an effect).
Artists making sculptures.
The new parking garage with the logo of Malmö.
Inside Malmö Arena larges gingerbread houses were built. We also got free Christmas food, coffee and gingerbreads.
There was an exhibition about the area inside Malmö Arena. This is a model of future Hyllievång.
A temporary skating rink in Malmö Arena.

Outside Malmö Arena.
Nice lights at the Hyllie Square.
The water tower, also called “the ufo” is light red around Christmas (otherwise blue).
The artwork with the roof above Hyllie Station is called “Minuten” and was designed by Kristina Matousch.
Time to take a ride back to Triangeln and then home.
Triangeln – North Station:
An artwork called “Lotus” in the north entrance.
A misspelling “Vardagslivets” is one word, not two! (Patterns of every day life)
Going out from Triangeln’s north entrance.
Some of the actors, playing strange creatures.
The Hilton hotel and Triangeln shopping mall was built in the late 80s. An extension of the mall as well as a new residential highrise.
A really impressive machine (with some kind of drill?).
The architecture of the north entrance. Much is planned for the area. Lightrail trams will probably drive here in the future, if everything goes according to plans.
Old buildings like the St Johannes Church are in the surroundings.
