How come there are new apartment buildings on the edge of town (see 20:00) but they are demolishing the entire neighborhoods nearby? I thought they were moving the entire town towards the east a few kilometers from the mine. Fascinating footage btw!
First, the mining administration main building, which stood on the square where there is now a small park, visible around the 10:10 minute mark, was demolished. If I understand correctly, the part of the city visible from 7:00 minutes to 10:20 minutes have to be demolished. From what I understand, the ore deposit has the form of an inclined wall, the upper part of which was located in the vicinity of the visible mine, but due to the slope, at a depth of several kilometers, the extraction site ended up under the city of Kiruna
