I was just thinking that Gothenburg is becoming a swedish mini New York. I must say of all the major cities in Sweden Gothenburg is the one that is most suitable for high rise buildings.
@@swedenvideos8912 They obviously have more sense in Stockholm. The cost per unit of floor area rises sharply with the increasing height of a building. What is the point of these buildings?

@@shiguCS High buildings have nothing to do with urbanisation. They are anti-urban and entirely unsuitable for family living.

@@LexlutherVII Inte mycket. Var i Göteborg förra veckan och i somras. De här skyskapraporna (Karlatoret, Draken, de två nära Gårda etc.) syns över halva stan och förstör verkligen stadsbilden.
The last thing we need, with our cold and windy climate. The embodied energy and the energy footprint of these buildings is horrendous. How will people be got out when there is a fire? What happens when the electricity goes off? Madness.
You do realize that Gothenburg is rapidly expanding and needs new buildings? If you don't build skyscrapers, you would need a LOT more land to fill the same space. It would be madness if you didn't build. You're not in the year 1800, building tall has become the solution to many problems.
@@shiguCS Expansion is a policy decision. Skyscrapers as being built in Gothenburg do not save space. They also put pressure on roads and other infrastructure due to the concentration of traffic they generate. There is plenty of room within Gothenburg to put this floor space, in buildings not more than six storeys. Given the Covid revolution, it is questionable whether there will even be the same requirement for office space in the future. In the UK, office buildings are being increasingly turned into residential, for which they are not really suitable. Buildings of the kind going up in Gothenburg are being demolished even in London. There is space for expansion towards Kungälv, Nödinge, south of Mölndal, around Frölunda, at either end of the Älvsbro - all of which have reasonable road, tram or train connections. Beyond Gothenburg, many of the smaller towns could usefully be expanded. The potential exists to develop a complete new city at Uddevalla, which enjoys excellent rail connections and is a port as well. Concentrating growth into Gothenburg is an unbalanced policy which is storing up trouble for the future as the infrastructure will not be able to cope. It needs to stop, and quickly. The city is being ruined as what made it such an attractive place is being destroyed.
@@physiocrat7143 Again, your text contains mostly conspiracies and outrageous lies. Have you made an attempt at approaching an actual representative of the city? Seems like a terrible waste of time to whine on youtube.

I moved away from New York to Gothenburg and this is beautiful that we are getting theses buildings it reminds me of my home town

Lemme guess, your hometown is actually Albany and your towers resembles that in göteborg lol
So proud of my hometown
In conclusion: Gothenburg is in overdrive
They are not so hesitant to build as in Stockholm!

Those really amazing building
Holy shit Gothenburg, calm down :D
that u2 totally caught me off guard lol
Och Tellus blir inte av.... :) Love Gothenburg
Citygate will be the tallest offices building in the nordic countries
Wasnt Tellus Towers in Sthlm cancelled due to something?
BigT No real decision has been made. Thank's for comment
gothenurg needs to chill
Cyberpunk dystopin är kommen
Real capital lol
Jag bor i sverige. I live in sweden
And?
Så synd att tellus towers är slopat
Isnt Casiopeia over 100m?
Om du menar Akademiska Hus projekt i Lund så är det väl bara precis i tidigt skede, knappast "planned"?
@@hpettsson Jag menar att av husen i Karlastaden, bredvid Karlatornet.
@@RandomSwede-1 antog så, inte sett mycket om det i Lund men svårt att tro att det ska vara 100m+
Över 140 meter är det planerat att bli
Buay bol
Haga, avenyn etc. is Gothenburg to me, not those ghastly towers they are constructing these days..
It’s a shame! Why to build skyscrapers in Gotheborg instead of Stockholm?
bcs gothenburg is better ofc
Gothenburg is the real capital
It’s not enough space in Stockholm downtown. If you wanted to build all those sky scrapers you would have to tear all the historical houses down.
They deserve it because Stockholm is boring and have bad public transportation
@@hukentv3857 100% fact, GBG😎💝💝💗💗
Förfärligt! Hoppas dessa projekt inte genomförs -verkligen att förstöra stadsbilden.
De genomförs...
