Borta Men Inte Glömd - Malmös Maritima Arv

Redan pa? 1300-talet bidrog Malmo?s strategiska la?ge vid O?resund till stadens starka tillva?xt som ett betydande handels- och maritimt nav. Grundandet av Kockums Mekaniska Verkstad a?r 1840 markerade stadens framva?xt som tillverkningscentrum. Pa? Kockums producerade man allt fra?n konsumtionsvaror och jordbruksverktyg till ja?rnva?gsvagnar, stora lastfartyg och milita?ra fartyg, inklusive va?rldens fo?rsta ka?rnkraftsdrivna isbrytare.

Oljekrisen pa? 1970-talet ledde till en industriell nedga?ng som sa? sma?ningom sporrade Malmo?s omvandling, driven av betydande infrastrukturprojekt som Citytunneln och O?resundsbron mellan Sverige och Danmark - men ocksa? Va?stra Hamnen, skyskrapan Turning Torso, Malmo? Ho?gskola och Hyllie.

Fotografierna i denna bok visualiserar en del av de sista relikerna och ruinerna av Malmo?s en ga?ng stolta industriella historia, som givit plats a?t en ny, ljus framtid.

VARVSSTADEN
Gone but not forgotten - Malmö's Maritime Legacy

Already in the 14th century, Malmo?'s strategic location by the resund Strait contributed to the city's strong growth as a significant trade and maritime hub. The founding of Kockums Mekaniska Verkstad in 1840 marked the city's emergence as a manufacturing center. At Kockums, everything from consumer goods and agri- cultural tools to railway carriages, large cargo ships, and military vessels, including the world's first nuclear-powered icebreaker, was produced.

The oil crisis of the 1970s led to an industrial decline, which eventually spurred Malmo?'s transformation, driven by significant infrastructure projects such as the City Tunnel and the resund Bridge between Sweden and Denmark - as well as the Va?stra Hamnen neighborhood, the Turning Torso skyscraper, Malmo? University, and the Hyllie district.

The photographs in this book visualize some of the last relics and ruins of Malmo?'s once proud industrial history, which have given way to a new, bright future.
