"The building was put together like a giant Lego set"? C'mon, this is Sweden, not Denmark. It was put together like a giant piece of Ikea furniture!
But, with better instructions.
I was thinking the same thing. Giant missed opportunity
@@bwake the instructions are fine, consumers are just stupid.
Ahahah B1M is forgiven ❤ …as all of us Nordic people look and sound the same to outsiders.
We’re basically the East Asians of white people.
I think our countries are each so individually insignificant and collectively homogenous that it’s not realistic to assume people will treat us as any other than a collective in their minds, if they even give us that much.
Our current national borders and separate national identities are all so arbitrary. We’ve been trading sovereignty of each other backwards and forwards through various “Kingdoms of X & Y” combinations for well over a thousand years. That we’ve landed as the current separate nations (…at least, for now) is mostly a fluke of timing. But the rest of the world wouldn’t notice or care if all or some of us joined together. Or split further. Or… whatever.
Bring an unlabelled world map when you go travelling internationally and ask locals that you meet if they can point out your country on the map. It’s an eye-opening experience. And I’m not talking about doing this in the third world either.
anyway…
@@qzbnyv you kinda brought it up already but Gothenburg did indeed used to be a part of Denmark 🇩🇰
I have lived in Gothenburg for 12 years and we call it the biggest “small town” in Sweden. Great video! Learned a lot :)
Been there once, thought it was amazing. Nature, inner city, water, sustainability, atmosphere, all great.
I've lived here my whole life, and I can inform you that we do not call it that at all
@@TheCuskic I live less than an hour South of Göteborg, definently hear people say that.

I definitely agree. I visited back in 2019 and found it a fascinating city. Quite walkable.
As a recently graduated Construction Management student and now working with a local parastatal, I can confidently say B1M is the channel to binge and rewatch to learn new innovative ideas. It also makes the industry of construction attractive to study and invest in. So glad to be part of this community.
Go kill it brotha
where did you go to school? i wanted to attend the construction management program at KEA in copenhagen but sadly the danish government slashed the program and moved nearly all english taught bachelor programs to small towns so nobody would want to attend them.

Well done, Thank you.
While I have no technical skills or interest in the world of construction, I AM interested in design, architecture, industrial planning, commercial projects, development, etc.
You don't just show us construction projects, but you look at the ways in which construction intersects with other fields and the technology that enables these sorts of megaprojects. For example, I'm a keen follower of nuclear fusion development because of my physics studies, so it was great to watch your video on ITER! Thanks for making these videos so insightful and varied, yet captivating even for folks who have little to no experience in construction.
The last thing I though I would se today was B1M make a video about my city. I kinda feel honored
Sweden 🇸🇪 Is pretty popular tho
Gothenburg is definitely a rapidly growing city. I was there 3 years ago and so many new towers have popped up all over the city since then. Karlatornet, which is going to be 245 meters tall, will be the tallest skyscraper in Scandinavia. It looks very impressive already! However, there are also downsides to these rapid developments. It looks like the city is selling its soul to investors. Many newly constructed buildings really feel out of place and have very little respect for the surrounding areas. Scandic Gothenburg Central really is an eyesore. An ugly glass box that can't be unseen. The same counts for Hotel Draken, which is located next to the beautiful old parts of Haga. Hotel Draken and the surrounding newly constructed towers really don't fit there. Hotel Draken feels a bit like Gothenburg's own version of Tour Montparnasse. The city really needs to step up the game and focus building a coherent, good looking city. Some experts need to oversee all the big projects and make sure they fit in better. Quality over quantity. The same counts for newly constructed apartments, many of them look really bland and cheap. Gothenburg can do so much better, really! Don't get me wrong: I do love Gothenburg!
Welcome to Gothenburg. They’ve been planning stupidly for at least 50 yrs. look at röda sten ferry stop. Wtf is it there for? There is nothing there. Why did they move it? Just to block the water areas with roads and tram limes. As usual.
I agree, they're investing in the wrong things and destroying the city's soul to turn it into an "event" city with ego-driven projects. I laughed when the video called it a "sustainable" city. When so much is invested in industry, car infrastructure, glass buildings (the most unsustainable kind of buildings there is) etc, there is no sustainability in mind. Could do so much better indeed.
With $100 bn Qatar and China would have built new cities with world's tallest buildings and these guys bragging about some LEED certificate on 20 something storey - European civilization is turning into joke with all the unnecessary regulation and standards.

Road tolls + new trains (västlänken) + a decade of construction + The skyscraper (karlatornet) + the cancelled idea of a cable railway over the river + the replacement of the old city bridge with 4 lanes + the now proposed tunnel under the river.

Did I just miss the whole part about the 100BN city upgrade part? I feel like the video was only about how sustainable Gothenburg is...
The thing is it's not sustainable in some unique way. A lot of cities in northern parts of Europe have more greenery than streets paved with concrete because people are used to living in close proximity to green areas and not be cramped in urbanized places.
@@winnied87 There's also a law in Sweden that all cities need to have 1/3 green space. But green space a sustainable city does not make. There needs to be way more to call it that.
and none of this is sustainable
Just got back from Gothenburg and I was pretty impressed at how liveable this city is. It has great potential. There is nothing wrong with spreading out as long as you have services and good transport infrastructure. Urban centres become satellite cities. It is manageable now because it has less than a million people. Good management means preparing for future growth. I'd like to go back and explore this interesting part of the world again. It has an interesting history too.
its funny how little people seem to understand about sweden from the comments. somehow sweden remains mythical in all viewpoints. either its a caliphate in the making or its a futuristic supersociety, either its always dark and snowy or there is beautiful untamed wilderness. lol

I'm from Gothenburg and it's crazy how much it has changed the past 5 years. It used to be more european style but now there are modern tall buildings/skyscrapers everywhere. Completely changed cityscape

@@janniesneed4511 nope that sounds awesome. I am jealous. Skyscrapers are so much cooler.
@@N1ckZ Boring and ugly architecture
I should clarify, they haven’t removed the european style. They also haven’t demolished too many buildings, more so built next to/on existing structures. There are also neighborhoods that haven’t changed, keeping the traditional european style. I don’t think it has destroyed my city (yet), but it’s a major change.
@@isaka3719 since the city now is middle eastern its suiting that it doesnt look european anymore.

As an urban planning student i've had the current project in Frihamnen as a task for one of my courses and according to the detailed plan for the housing, it seems like they're aiming to mix social groups along with building affordable apartments. can't wait to see exactly how they will do it. GBG is one of my fav cities and i hope it improves over time!
I love Sweden, been to Stockholm twice and it’s my favourite European city. It’s just so nice! Good to hear they are limiting sub-urbs, they suck!
They better worry about all the illegal migrants first before starting this expensive project…
Considering there’s been nothing but suburbs built in Gothenburg for the past 100 years, I’ll believe it when I see it. Gothenburg was voted worst cycling city in all of Sweden a month or so ago, 2 highways run through the city center and 4 highway interchanges next to each other just north of the central railway station create total isolation and segregation.
Not mentioned in the video: Gothenburg has become a giant car maze where every other road is blocked or limited to one direction. The slow flow and long lines of traffic with cars standing still, spewing exhaust fumes at idle in the centre should offset the sustainable strategy just fine.
Yeah they're not being very objective with those claims of sustainabiltiy. A city built around industry and car traffic is NOT sustainable. Not by a long shot.
This. Everywhere in gothenburg the road infrastructure for anything other than public transport has been intentionally sabotaged causing huge traffic jams. For example many dual lane roads have gotten smaller with bus stops merging two lanes into one on many locations around the city "for pedestrian safety" instead of just setting up a traffic light
Imagine driving in Central Gothenburg lol. Take the damn tram
That is what public transport is for. Like london, you're stupid if you try to drive there.
Always love watching B1M!

As someone who has been born and raised in Gothenburg, I am truly sad to see the direction the city has taken. All the tall buildings popping up everywhere are destroying the ambiance of the city.
Eller hur
It looks dystopian. Unfortunate to see European nations in general going down this route.
i believe any city wich doesnt have a skyscraper yet shouldnt build any.
the minute you build one they spread like wildfire and take up all the good looking parts of the city.
they remove the views and the sun from the people, they create wind tunels and they never lower the rent prices anywhere they are built, its just a way for developers to especulate and for criminals to launder money with real estate.
The biggest issue in Gothenburg for those living in the suburbs is commuting using the public transport. Although Swedish public transport is really good as it reaches every corner imaginable, if you want to get anywhere in the city it takes you anywhere between 50 minutes to 1 hour 20 minutes depending on the time. It is a huge problem which needs to be solved because 2 hours everyday for transportation is not acceptable. For the majority of people who use cars, we are taxed both when entering the city and going back to the suburbs which can be aroud 5USD daily at rush times. That itself combined with the hike in price of fuel and 3 USD per hour parking fees makes it super expensive to be able to commute to college or work on a car. Either you sacrifice 2 hours of your life everyday or pay your way out of it if you have enough money. This is the dirty reality which is being overlooked. Also the new metro system being built will only facilitate a few areas which still leaves majority of the suburbs only connected through the current slow transport system. Also the public transport one way ticket costs 4USD which is a total joke. For someone which an average Gothenburg salary of 22k USD, this type of expense is terrible and even worse for the students.
From what suburb does it take an hour to reach the city?
i'm in canada and my university's residences have a platinum LEED certification. Its really hard to get. its École de technologie supérieures (ÉTS) for those wondering.
Proud to be a young electrician in this big project I lived in Gothenburg for 10 years and I can say it looks a lot different than the day I came here ✌️🙌🏻
My university campus in India - Manipal University Jaipur - is LEED Platinum certified. Now I can relate with how Gothenburg is one of the most sustainable places on the planet.
"It's not possible to build affordable housing-"
Because builders refuse to build Housing that won't make them a generous profit margin.
I live in Gothenburg and yes, there is a lot going on, kinda looking forward to seeing some projects getting finished. Everywhere you look you'll see at least 2-3 cranes building something. However, it was badly needed, the heart of the city has been painfully crowded for years.
Gothenburg is also constructing the tallest building in all of the nordics atm. Karlatornet at 245m. It's an impressive sight to behold as a local to the area.
I live only a few hours away from Gothenburg and I go there very often, it is my favourite city in all of Sweden and I recommend anyone who is gonna visit Sweden to go to Gothenburg.

its just green washing. leed classification only means it employs lots of high-tech products, it was created to promote high-tech companies. same as the "green city" concept. they would not give any consideration to an expansion of the city based on traditional urbanism using natural materials, but they will give the HIGHEST praise to a bunch of glass office towers with some complex ac system and special glass panels and solar power, wich will be more expensive and most importantly, it will brake down and will have to be replaced in 20 years. and the buildings wont last 50. perpetual business for contractors and tech companies, it was never about the envoirnment. you dont make much money making a solid brick building that lasts hunderds of years,

You can't compare Gothenburg to London or Toronto. Scandivavia as a whole only has 1 official skyscraper (>150 m). Thats for denmark sweden, norway and finland. Toronto (1 city) has 80. These cities are naturally not plagued by the same issues of affordable housing as places like toronto or new york.

I’ve spent a lot of time surveying in Gothenburg, even with the epic amount of construction it’s still quicker to get around than in Stockholm.
Side note did they do all the filming in the 3 days of summer 😂
You missed out our largest project, Väst Länken (The West Link Project). Many argue that this is a total failure and is heavily delayed and costs soar. This project have made Gothenburg to a huge dig site and have cause both economical problems for small businesses and huge traffic problems. So not everything is great in Gothenburg! But I like my city anyway. :)

So happy to have another video on my feed from you!
Gothenburg must be one of the coolest sounding city names in the world 😎
The actual city name is Göteborg. Gothenburg is just the English version of it. Personally, Helsingborg takes the win for best city name in my book.
I can tell you from someone who lives here, everything is delayed, traffic is at a standstill from 15.30 to 18.00, everything is funded through congestion charges and they have already blown through that budget. It's a small city in the sense that you can drive around the city center in 20 minutes (at night). Its a love hate relationship for me. I don't want to live anywhere else! 😁
if there's that much congestion, maybe the congestion pricing is too low?
@@magnusdagbro8226 I think Göteborg needs to improve cycling infrastructure. Honestly driving in Göteborg is terrible, exepensive, few parking spaces, slow speeds, few lanes for cars. Honestly suprised that people choose to drive in Göteborg.
@@Freakyjohnsson1 I think it’s because of the geography as Gothenburg is very hilly.
@@yazanmowed Sure it's hilly, but I still think Göteborg really really needs to improve it's cycling network. They do have plans for imrpoving cycling in the city but it's moving somewhat slowly. But honesly travling right now in Göteborg is chaos since it's construction everywhere.
Great video. Didn't know gotenburg was famed for its architecture - ill have to add it to my bucket list

We should spend $100BN to end the criminal gangs in Göteborg

As A Swede & Been Fellingsbro Resident Since December 2018 I Knew Gothenburg Would Be Massive Modern City or Town! It Feels Nicer To Developed Fast Than Other Sweden Cities.
I was thinking about buying a pre-fab house from one of the Scandinavian companies that produce them. It's really cool, you can choose among many designs and the building is very fast.

Don’t forget that Gothenburg is widely known as a being a nightmare to visit with car from out of town because of all the construction 😂
Easy answer - don't use your car in the city use the trams and buses to get around. Much easier, and less pollution in the atmosphere! Because that's what I did on my three visits to the city before, during and after H-day!
@@rodneymcgovern5984 Pretty shitty excuse if you ask me..^^
If you’re traveling from someplace else in Sweden by car, or happen to pass through, it shouldn’t be needed. Not trying to start an argument, just casually observing that one of the drawbacks of all this construction is the high frequency of closed off roads, which also happen to effect bus routes btw.
@@shagstroem Cares have no right to be in cities. Honestly just park your car outside the city and use public transport. Much better for everyone.
Some decades ago, the average employee in Gothenburg was a welder or an assembly line worker. There are still a lot of welders and especially the latter kind of workers around, but today the most common job in Gbg is working as an engineer - whether it's about mechanical, electrical, chemical, aerospace, marine, computer, building/architectural or any other segment of engineering.
I wish the video had a comprehensive breakdown of how the $100BN would be spent to develop the city. The only project that was specifically outlined was turning the motorway into a greenway!
Yeah, the missed to mention quite a few large scale projects. Together, all the projects of city core uograde are title Älvstade (The River City). This name is nkt accidental as a lot of post-industrial and underdeveloped areas are located in the former port area on both banks of the Göta River. All the major projects are focused on redevelopment of the city core around the river. Overall, it is a pretty impressive development that needs more break down into smaller projects when presenting as there are more interesting plans being realised.
@@winnied87 WinniEd, thank you for sharing the name. Now I know to search for Älvstade to see the other projects. I hope to visit Gothenberg one day, because it looks like such a beautiful city!
Great Video!
Would love to see a video about the West Link railway project and the Karla Tower as well.

I'm always frustrated by companies saying a development is 100% renewable / 100% solar powered without addressing power when the sun isn't shining.
Unless they have, or their grid has, enough storage, they're likely also using gas generation at those times but selling excess solar for offsets. Here in Western Australia, we're the world's largest island grid and massive solar uptake is a grid stability issue, so exporting excess solar to claim you're 100% renewable is pushing the problem elsewhere.
But maybe they have more batteries.
We really don't use gas or coal in Sweden, so I suspect selling excess solar produced in the daytime and buying hydropower in the evenings and during the winter is the way they reach their "100 renewable" goal.
@@SweBeach2023 Thank you for the info - yep, that would do it!
Wish it worked that way here. We don't have hydro in WA (yet) - low on both hills and water!
I assume the Swedish grid has an interconnection with other Nordic countries but they're probably similarly powered.
@@YhanaSL Norway and Sweden both have lots of hydropower because of the mountains, so they export lots in the area. Sweden also has nuclear and wind. Finland does not have as much hydro so there's a more even distribution of nuclear, wind, hydro, and fossil fuels in CHP plants (and significant imports from Sweden, but no longer from Russia).
That time of the week! thank you guys :)

Waiting time for apartments are 7-10 years, crime is soaring in the suburbs, buses and trams are raising the prices and traffic is a huge problem but otherwise it is a fantastic city with fantastic people
The crime is the migrants fault.
Grew up in Gothenburg. It was very cool to see this video and recognize landmarks from my childhood - Fiskekyrkan at 0:21, the Poseidon statue at 7:00-7:05, and Ullevi stadium behind the new building - and not transformed beyond recognition by skyscrapers and urban decay. But I do remember the insane scramble to move into an apartment that was large enough for two, and later three kids - from a studio apartment where my parents slept on a foldout couch in the living room and my sister and I shared a bunkbed in the hallway, to a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom place near Avenyen and the old opera house. A great city for walking in.
Im from Stockholm originally but recently lived in Gothenburg for 10 years, had a great time. However Ive visited Gothenburg a few times since and the vibe is really off, city center is full of aggressive migrants (especially at night), not the city I remember and loved when I sadly moved home. Stockholm is much better in that regard because we have our "stadsdelar" that isn’t as connected to the city center as the cramped one in Gothenburg.
I guess these areas in Stockholm are the last bastion against the destructive and failed migration policy that virtue signaling politicians has forced us to live with without any thought of the consequences. The downfall is just sad with no solution in sight.
I will still always have a special place for Gothenburg in my heart. A big / medium city with a small town feeling / mentality.
The sweet spot.
> Europe's most sustainable city
> Has port that handles the majority of Sweden's fossil fuels
Ridiculous claim isn't it
love how the nordic countries made themselves the "green" champions of the world when the only thing that they did was move the production of electricity and fossil fuels to other places in the world. the fact that norway is considered "green" is even more of a joke
Gothernburg has been 20% constuction sight for as long as I can remember. They are NEVER done buliding. This video was an interesting insight into what they have been doing all these years.
Has anyone incorporated a gravity battery into a building to save extra solar energy for use at night? Even as a green gimmick that might be worth doing for the LEED credit. Though that would probably make tuning the building for seismic and wind load an interesting challenge.
The B roll makes Gothenburg look much nicer than it does in reality haha

Sweden = World wide leader in breaking down building into many small and easy to manufacturer pieces that can be assembled on sight much faster than conventional means.
Also Sweden = makes IKEA (same basic concept but with furniture)

Dude, I love Gothenburg but living here during this upgrade is an absolute pain
A good hitech engineering architecture housing beautiful cities thanks video upgrade so grate Sweden🇸🇪
I hope to see in the future a video exclusive to Karlatornet skyscraper of Gothenburg (the tallest in scandinavia). Great video !
Fantastic vid as always, especially as GBG's been my home for 8 years. Bit surprised not mentioning Karlatornet given it's gonna seriously tower over CityGate, but hopefully that means you'll be back to cover that! Love all the investment and cool construction around Gothenburg - less keen on all the works causing the roads to move around like the staircase at Hogwarts!

Thanks so much!!
You know Canada's housing situation is bad when it gets mentioned in an unrelated video about Sweden as a poor example. Our politicians have failed us...
I remember Gothenburg like 10 years ago, it has totaly changed and modernized ALOT
As someone who has lived in Gothenburg for the past 7 years, living here, driving and commuting because of all the construction, closed roads, and inconveniences is a living hell. All of the sustainability and plans are one thing, but for the locals that have to live through that, it's a nightmare.
Yeah, and it's not gonna stop anytime soon. Västlänken has caused so many issues. The whole city is essentially a construction zone
There are some exceptions, but generally, Gothenburg is not ment for car commuting into the city.
The Gothenburg has been designed in a very rustic and non-future-proof way that didn't include anything. The public transit isn't very efficient either.
City is a mess and maybe all of this construction will pay off by 2050 but we'll have to wait until that time comes.
@@krystiandobrzanski9745 and the construction is not sustainable. by 2050 those glass buildings and all the solar and ac systems will have to be repaired, most likely replaced. meanwhile the historic buildings will still be functional for centuries, but no one calls them "sustainable". only high tech stuff can be sustainable acording to leed, that why people should be suspicious
