About Möllevången

The most colorful district in Malmö. The market

trade is lively here and the shops and restaurants

have roots all over the world.

Möllevången was the first planned, large-scale

working class neighborhood in Malmö and the result

of the growing industrial city in the late 19th century.

The labor movement gained tremendous influence

here. The worker's newspaper Arbetet and the

cooperative association Solidar were founded in

Möllevången, which was also the site of the first

Folkets Park ("Community Park") in Sweden.

Möllevången’s SurroundingThe best neighborhood of Malmö- Möllevången, or short

as "Möllan". It's packed with markets, restaurants, bars

and nightclubs, and is arguably the most integrated and

multicultural inner city neighborhood in all of Scandinavia.

Möllevången is a high density district, and therefore

people have so few open space for public use. Besides

“Malmö Folkets Park”, there are several points of public

green lands distribute in the north and the south of

Möllevången.

There are just two public squares for people using,

“Möllevångstorget” is located in the beginning of the main

street as the heart of this district. Most restaurants,

clubs…etc, are opened around “Möllevångstorget”.

Möllevångstorget is the plaza as the heart of this living

area, and therefore people use the public open space in a

beneficial way and give the same space more elasticity. In

the morning, the plaza plays a role as an open market,

and afterward it becomes a common place of the

community.

Malmö Folkets Park is the entertainment park has plenty

for all the family. There is a fairground, Northern Europe’s

biggest Ferris wheel, a reptile centre, a miniature farm,

children’s theatre and entertainment.
