Everything you want to know about Malmö's canals!

(These both go to an autotranslated version.)

A little bit of interesting history. Apparently these started out as a largely symbolic moat ditch around the Old Town with the waterfront as the final side, then got expanded to try to use as an actual fortification, then went through a phase as the kind of industrial dumping ground and sewer that you might expect in the 19th century.

Thankfully they have since been cleaned up to the point of fairly recent discussions about the city maybe opening up a swimming beach along there. And I wouldn't immediately nope away from the idea of fishing in there.

I didn't realize quite how much new land had been filled in between Gamla Stan and the current waterfront. We're talking nearly Boston level, scaled down to a still MUCH smaller city.

Over the centuries, it went from this, to this (cropped for mostly the central section on out):

Where the moated-in Old Town is just under the city label, with the now-museum castle over inside the smaller square of most in the big park area to its left.

All of that big harbor area was filled in. The temporal apartment we were in after moving here was in Västra Hamnen ("Westport”) sticking up there, looking out over the current coastline very close by. That little constructed peninsula got completely redeveloped as residential with some businesses within the past 15 years or so, after the whole harbor business declined and it basically turned into a former-industrial wasteland.

And a little wider view, showing the bridge to Copenhagen jutting off to the left, and part of the dividing line between Denmark and Sweden down the middle of the sound there:

You could just about see the other side from the waterfront park near Temporary Apartment.
