I hope they take a look at my hometown too. The neighbouring town Malmberget (about 120 km
from Kiruna). That town has been torn down house by house for the last 30 years as the mountain
becomes unsafe due to the continued iron mining below ground. It's a sad view for a homesick guy.
But it has a certain kind of aesthetic of decay, which is ironic given how the community is thriving on
a mining industry that economically goes very well.
The initiative from SVID (Swedish Industrial Design Foundation) to do this project is however brilliant.

Cheers,
