We were both in the city within a few weeks of each other and we seemed to have seen similar things and had very similar observations.<\/p>\n<p>In order to complement Fred&#8217;s post and respond to some of the comments that arose from our readers, I&#8217;ve added this slideshow of my own photos from Malmo that highlight the city&#8217;s urban design elements. Travelling to Malmo&#8217;s western waterfront and Toronto&#8217;s Port Lands are similar distances from the core of the city. The city&#8217;s waterfront is vast, and includes canals, rivers, parks and beaches. Another commenter also suggested that Malmo&#8217;s waterfront is aimed at the wealthy; while this may be true from a property ownership perspective, the variety of people using Malmo&#8217;s waterfront didn&#8217;t have to spend a cent to lay out in the sun, and the area seemed to be programmed to provide entertainment and amenities that were certainly not cost-prohibitive.<\/p>\n<p>Also in the slideshow, you&#8217;ll see photos of Malmo&#8217;s street furniture, pedestrian malls, and bike infrastructure. The city seems to want to keep up with it&#8217;s big neighbour Copenhagen, and rightly so. If you don&#8217;t want to views the images in a slideshow you can see them static on Spacing&#8217;s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/spacing\/sets\/72157619165982897\/\">Flickr set<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fred Sztabinski, Spacing&#8217;s Amsterdam-based correspondent (that has a nice ring to it, eh?), had a great post about Malmo, Sweden&#8217;s waterfront development the other day.
