+TheGerogero Thank you!
Sweden Love from Finland. :3
I really like the sound of the swedish language
This is very revealing, and shows very simply that good people live, work and coexist, whatever the climate or other factors.
I was brought here by the TV series 'Rebecka Martinsson' and wanted to do some research.
I have a massive regard for the Swedish people and their way of life, a Nordic dream state.
As a Scotsman, I consider myself a 'northener', and am uncomfortable in a high temperature country, even the south of France.
Oh, and the actress who is in the lead role of Martinsson is so nice-looking, just saying!
Kiruna is a town in the middle of the wilderness. It is established there because of iron ore. But Kiruna is very cool.
Very true!
Sad to see my home town where I'm typing this from is getting completely reworked... I will feel like a tourist in 70% of the town for a while. I can look forward to when the current centre of the town is closed of and abandoned, then we will get many years to re-explore the area before most of it falls into the pit :) Jumping fences, looking around trying to revive memories.. Ahh. I gotta remember to snap a couple hundred photos all over the town to keep and show to future children and grandchildren. Who will live in a completely different town. Well, almost, 3 parts of the town will still remain. :D Amazing work on this video guys!
Thanks for such an insightful comment :)
Atleast the village will survive where i live
I feel for your loss. I am doing rsearch for a play we are currently developing and one of our characters comes from Sweden and makes reference to Kiruna. Is there a way you can tell me how to pronounce the name please?
@@byronyouththeatre2781 Interesring! Here's a link to a site with multiple "different" pronounciations that you can listen to
forvo.com/word/kiruna/
At least it gets reworked ;) My hometown malmberget was totaly demolished, they moved k(culture) marked buildings and the rest got tore down almost nothing left. Gällivare is in total chaos as they try to rebuild whith no money left it has all halted now and down town gällivare looks like an open pit mine. They blew all the money on som fancy buildings. But hey thats what shitty politicians get you!
I was there last winter, a really beautiful city and I hope to return there again
I'm amazed at the task they will be undertaking. would love to visit there!
+Sara Nilsson Do it, we had a great time! :)
Gud vad härlig kanal. önskar att fler kom hit :) riktigt kul att kolla på era videos som svensk :))
+christian thelander Thank you Christian! Please share the word. :)
Wow, this was impressive! ...and the architect's words :) heartwarming!
Woh! That is just amazing, preserving the soul and memories of the town. Too good!
+Arjun madhur Marwah Thank you, Arjun! Glad you like it.
Amazing! I can't wait to see as things progress more!
+Rose Guard Thanks for the kind words!
While living in Saro (outside Kungsbacka) in 1990-1991, I did not have opportunity to visit the very far north of Sweden, but I truly hope to do so to see the amazing transformation of Kiruna(and to hopefully visit with friends in Kungsbacka, too!). Thank you for the wonderful video!
+Matthew Kelly Thank you for your kind comment, Matthew! And welcome back to Sweden anyday.
this is just amazing!!!
That's something to be inspired. A city that's moving for the future. Congratulations for all the people involved.
Thanks!
Wonderful video. Sweden is a place I'd like to live!

+Andi Palmer You're welcome! Thanks for your comment.
My partner and I lived in Kiruna for three months earlier this year and absolutely loved it! It's such an amazing town and it's just incredible to see how they will move it :)
+totallystefi Three months! That's impressive - glad you enjoyed it.
Excellent video and amazing content it delivered!
Glad you enjoyed it :)
This is a really nice video, I look forward to more! I used to live in Sweden and still go back a lot but it's really nice to see these videos to remind me of everything! :)
+Ali T Great to hear that! Thank you.
Henrik and Johan,i like them. nice smile and made this video looks happy and fun.
Nice one!
Wow this is cool as someone who comes from Stockholm I have never thought about how difficult it could be for the people in Kiruna even doe I knew about the problemet with the mines
Excellent job guys! Super interresting and supel-well done :)
+Valeria Alfieraki Sous Thank you for the kind comment, Valeria!
This documentary is really great.

Very interesting video, thoroughly enjoyed it! I hope a lot of people gets the chance to see it and find it as interesting as I did.
+Patrik Erman Thank you, Patrik!
Fascinating! I hope you post updates about Kiruna as the rebuilding and the move progress.
+Arielle Masters Thanks! We'll try ... :) Meanwhile, the municipality of Kiruna will surely keep you informed here: www.kiruna.se/stadsomvandling/City-in-transformation/
Fantastiskt, vad glad jag blir, det här var riktigt bra! :)
Borde köras på svt tycker jag!
+Lukas Schagerström Thank you so much! We're glad you liked it. :)
Really well done, love the music in the background! Didn't know Sweden had its own youtube channel, cool cool cool.
+thereviewerisback Great to hear that! Thanks for the kind words. :)
Ett privilegium att fått växa upp där! Snart finns "mitt" Kiruna endast i mitt minne... Hoppas förändringen bli bra! :-)
Sweden is such a nice place need to go visit this country one day
Welcome post-pandemic!
@@sweden yeah just here in Portugal that we recive people in pandemic to the final of champions xD
The north part of Sweden is worth visiting! But the southern parts is just like average cities 😅.
Very interesting best of luck. And those guys did a great job on the video
+Hip Hop IT Tech Support Thanks!
Love this video so much. Make me wanna visit this good piece of city :)
+L Yap Glad to hear it! We recommend it. It's a special place and we felt very welcome there. :)
Awesome Video, please more of it and Volvo´s :)
5:16 THATS MY MOM 💀
Yay to your mom!
an impressive and ambitious plan i wish good luck!!!
I really really hope that National Geographic or Discovery are already documenting this project. I would really love to see a great scientific movie about it.
You just gotta love sweden & the swedes (:
VERY INTERESTING!!!!!
Thank you!
Hjlmar was my great - great uncle. So proud.
Nice video ni har verkligen lyckats 👍🏻
+Adam Petersson Thanks Adam!
While Kiruna is certainly a very big municipality is not the second in the world, there are many coming before it such as Sermersooq in Greenland being the first in the world (a ridiculously huge area covering 531,900 Km2, basically whole France if we exlude all its overseas departments) then on the same island we find the real second place Avannaata with still an impressive area of 522,700 km2, Hulunbuir in China (still humongous, it measures 263,953 Km2 making it as large as the UK), Jiuquan also in China with 191,342 Km2, Altamira in Brazil with its 159,533 Km2 followed by Qeqqata (115,500 Km2) and Kalgoorlie-Boulder, the Australian municipality mentioned in the video (95,575 Km2)
Thank you for your feedback. We will forward this to the editorial team!
@@sweden You're welcome! I'm glad I've been of help. For now I've been to Malmo by taking the Oresundstag from Copenhagen but I'm really curious about northern Sweden as well, maybe one day I'll get there by the Arctic SJ sleeper
Good luck with your explorations!
This was in 2016
Det här är jättekul! Jag kommer att åka till Kiruna i Juli för en vecka. Jag bor i Brasilien :)

How can you give this video thumbs down? It has been a long time, but I have been there myself.
+BlackStar250874 Thanks for the kind comment, we appreciate it. :)
God! I love this channel ❤
We're thrilled to hear that!
I need to get back for a visit, I loved growing up there. The US is a bit too warm for me, so I keep thinking about moving back :P
+Loki Rawr If you're looking for something cold, it sure is a nice place to go! In fact, it is anyway. But we guess you already know that - having grown up there. :)
Month of nonstop dark?Gamers approve!!
+Moangus PIckard LOL!
On the flipside, we get 24/7 sunlight during summer. It's horrible, do not recommend.
I WOULD LOVE TO VISIT AND LIVE THERE
Come for a post-pandemic holiday!
That was a great video. I never imagined moving a city could be possible.
I wonder how difficult it would be to move my city (new delhi), It's one of the most densely populated city in the world.
+Jai Thank you! Probably a lot harder ... :)
Thought Thunderbird on Ubuntu was alerting me of new emails until I realized the sound they used for the titles and transitions is the same. Oh, and cool video.
+Undisclosed Name Haha! Sorry about that. And thanks for the kind comment. :)
allt Sverige är väldigt vackert jag älskar att besöka detta land ❤️
Välkommen till Sverige!
like a boss good so much
Kiitos Sverige!
You're welcome!
A official youtube channel for a country.. That was new
wow,"go Sweden" one day i like to move to Sweden and work in a mine!
+Dirtman Rock Thanks for your comment! And welcome. :)
This is very similar with The Ship of Theseus question. Would a town still a same town when it has been completely disassembled and built somewhere else? If a town is about the people, why are there towns named New [old town]? Really interesting.
Very good pointers!
Excellent video it's so satisfying to watch. BTW what's the song's name at 9:34

+Sweden Love Sweden , I would love to find job up there :D One more engineer wouldn't be bad :D
Awesome stuff Sweden. That would never happen in UK. You would lose your home and be told to suck it up.
+The Phantom Gazz Thank you!
It's been a few years. Could we have an update?
Let's see what we can do about it!

WWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHAT HAPPENED NEXT??? Please, let there be a part two....!
Let's hope for a part two!😊
I´ve already made my mind about immigrating to New Zealand. Sverige must stop being awesome, or else I might be indecisive about where to live in forever lol
+Sheld Owned That sounds good to us! Hence, we will try to continue being awesome. :D
Why don't we take Kiruna and PUSH IT SOMEWHERE ELSE?!?
Steve must be really busy smelting all that iron ore.
Little did anyone know COVID was going to call a time out on everything
That's the nature of life! It brings the most unexpected scenarios! We will get over this. For now, stay safe!
Beautiful area but I would never imagine myself living without a sun
In the summer we almost have no darkness at all 😅, but december-early January is a living nightmare
To be in Kiruna in 3 days，is there still snow now curious
Nice one!
What is the song which starts at 8:10?... I tried shazam at 9:35 but it didn't detect anything... :(
Please help!

Patrick Star's plan to save the city from giant worms, in depth.
kiruna,man that place is cold,first time I saw reindeer and eat it.Much has changed
Ni glömde nämna att Hjalmar lundbom grundade kiruna också designade den första huset hära
Tack för informationen!

How are thy move the church, seems large ?
+mic of orion they rebuild everything, to look the same
Vinzenz Stein Ferrari Freitas looks fantastic, wouldn't mind living in Sweden, really nice place to live. thax for reply.
+mic of orion With the church, and a few other select buildings, it will actually be lifted by trucks and cranes to the new city center.
+Vinzenz Stein Ferrari Freitas
Except for a few buildings that will actually be moved, including the church, se 6:36
Ni säger att hela världens befolkning skulle få plats i Kiruna kommun och att alla ungefär skulle få 3 kvadratmeter var. Kiruna skulle då behöva vara 24 miljarder kvadratmeter stor. Är det verkligen så stort?
+Erik S Nästan så stort. 20,55 miljarder kvm.
+Erik S Wikipedia säger Kiruna kommun är ca 20.000 km^2
www.worldometers.info/world-population/ säger knappt 7 425 000 000 människor på jorden
20 000 km^2 * 1 000 000 m^2/km^2 / 7 425 000 000 personer ~ 2,69 m^2 / person
This would never happen in the states. Half the town could fall into the mine and no one would do anything until it affected where the rich people live.
Rebecka Martinsson! :)

@@jannejoensuu896 This is weird: I seriously just finished watching episode 1 of season 1 on Netflix (I wanted to see it again), and now I check my phone and I see your respons. Coincidence?😊
@@kngkrmson2179 I watched it yesterday .
They are not moving a city, they are building a city down the road and moving the people. Much easier to do. They are moving a few historical buildings which is impressive, but the title of this video is very misleading.
Amazing to see such a church in a such a region, but I guess you need somewhere very special to go to alleviate the fact that your whole world is FROZEN 24/365.
Kiruna is Swedens Alaska
+WTFjusthappend2000 Interesting comparison!
well they are both heavily influenced behind industry and beautiful nature
Kiruna ...the Northest sity of Sweden ....i have been there years ego !!!
Min mamma Valeria Pettersson föddes i Kiruna. RIP

Russians and Finns wouldn't mind wearing nothing in the freezing cold either.

It's pure science. Just move.

,,What the Fox was that?"
It' not unique it's been done in Malmberget for decades. Moving houses or demolishing them to get to the iron ore.
And they started to mine Malmberget 157 years earlier.
modern pyramid
This is fucked up
Talking as a brazilian who has passed a few traumas involving mining, these last few years.
We're sorry to hear about your trauma.
Im sorry to hear about your trauma batuta :(
Im sorry to hear about your trauma batuta :(
The mine was there before the city 🙂 soo the city has to move simple as that the mine has done nothing wrong mabe they shouldnt have build a city over it 👍🏻
Sadly not every place in the world can be like Sweden. Too much greed all around, as well as too many people.
+germnbill You just watch a video about how government greed destroyed a city.
not at all.
Kiruna the city only exists because of the mine. Without the mine there would be no reason for anyone to stay.
But since the mine endangers the city where it is right now, the city has to move. It has nothing to do with greed and all about the mine beeing the reason the city exists.

Moving building? pff Let's call Ceausescu and he will do it faster xD.
So you have enough room for all of the world's population? You know what happened to Merkel the last time she said that, right? XD
Too depressive atmosphere there.I don't like this kind of cities
This is Kiruna: How to force people out of their homes, destroying those very same homes and putting the responsibility in others to build up homes
The move is necessary for the safety of people who live in Kiruna.
@@sweden of course, the problem is that LKAB dosent want to build up the houses they destroy.

The pronunciation of iron is hysterical - i-ron. Of course, it's pronounced i-urn. Non-native english speakers usually get this pronunciation wrong, but to hear it over and over again in one piece is funny.
It's only i-urn if you're from 'Merica and therefore can't speak English properly. See also, "Aluminium".
Also, "nuclear" must always be pronounced "nu-cu-lar"
