Malmö University (Swedish: Malmö universitet) is a public university located in Malmö, Sweden. With more than 24,000 students and about 1,600 employees (academic and administrative), Malmö University is the ninth largest institute of learning in Sweden. It has exchange agreements with more than 240 partner universities around the world and roughly a third of the students have an international background. Education at Malmö University focuses on, among other things, migration, international relations, political science, sustainability, urban studies, and new media and technology. It often includes elements of internship and project work in close cooperation with external partners. Located at Universitetsholmen in the centre of the city, the university has played an important role in the transformation of Malmö from an industrial town to a centre of learning. A large part of the campus was constructed on grounds which, up to the mid-1980s, belonged to the Kockums shipyard, which had been a key element of naval-industrial Malmö. While this institution was founded as a university college ("högskola") in 1998, the Swedish minister for higher education and research conferred full university status on January 1, 2018.

Adelgatan was, together with Östergatan and Västergatan, Malmö's main street from the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages there were two Adelgatan's. The elder ran from west to east direction parallel to the beach only a stone's throw from it. It was called in 1392 in Latin "Communis magna platea". It was the city's oldest street, which probably existed as a narrow road even before the city's emergence in 1250s. Today this route is in the Malmöhus Castle area leading up to Drottningtorget. The second Adelgatan was the main street in the early 14th century which ran perpendicular to the former further south. This was called "Sönnergaatan" in 1462 and "Then syndre Adelgade" in 1522. " They formed grand squares and had boundary markers consisting of standing stones. Such a stone was the "Tunneln", one at the current Caroli Church and the last at the junction of Skomakaregatan and Södergatan. Trade with the peasants during the Middle Ages were only allowed inside the marked square areas.

The Central Post Office Building, Malmö, Sweden, designed by Ferdinand Boberg and built between 1904 and 1906. It is a building in the style of Romantic nationalism, popular in the years around 1900. Inspired by the Brick Gothic from the middle ages, common especially in the cities around the Baltic Sea. The unusually large cupolas of the two towers is a detail that caused some debate at the time. Boberg was pleased with how this building turned out and commented in a letter from 1907 that it was perhaps his best work. The top floor was given an added row of windows in 1944 designed by Erik Lallerstedt. It became a listed building in 1935and was restored and modernized between 2006 and 2020.

Stortorget (transl. "The Main Square", lit. "The Big Square") is a square in Malmö. Construction began in 1538 with the demolition of The Monastery of the Holy Spirit (Heligandsklostret), which with its cemetery occupied about 70% of the area of the future square. A note in 1542 refers to the site as thet ny torg ("the new square"). The stately Malmö Town Hall (Rådhuset), the largest of its kind in the Nordic countries at the time, located on the eastern side of the square, was inaugurated in 1547. At Stortorget are The Governor's Residence, Malmö Town Hall, Jørgen Kock's House, the Kramer Hotel, and The Lion Pharmacy (Apoteket Lejonet). In the middle of the square stands an equestrian statue of King Charles X Gustav, sculpted by John Börjeson and created in connection with the Craft and Industry Exhibition in Malmö in 1896. The statue was initiated by the newspaperman and politician Carl Herslow and the history professor Martin Weibull. Stortorget has historically been Malmö's most central square, but with the electrification of the tramway, this role was increasingly taken over by Gustav Adolf's square. Stortorget was served by horsecars in 1887–1907, horse-drawn buses in 1898-1907 and electric trams in 1906–1957. Just southwest of Stortorget is Lilla torg, and about 250 m straight south (along Södergatan) is Gustav Adolfs torg. As a curiosity, the meridian 13° east passes through Stortorget, which means that its mean solar time is exactly (if you are standing in the right place) eight minutes behind Central European Time (i.e. Swedish Standard Time).

Malmö West Station (Swedish: Malmö Västra) was a railway station in Malmö, Sweden. It was established in 1874 with the creation of the Ystad Line, from 1886 was also operated by the Continental Line.

Bo01 (also known as the "City of Tomorrow") is a neighborhood in the southern city of Malmö, Sweden known for its sustainable development and design. Bo01 began as part of the European Housing Exposition in 2001 and served as a prototype to help later design Västra hamnen. Today, Bo01 is known for its holistic approach to incorporate sustainable design into high-quality living and serves as one of the first Swedish models for sustainable urban planning.Designed by an urban designer, Klas Tham, Bo01 is the first neighborhood in the world to declare that 100% of its energy is sourced entirely from renewable sources. The name Bo01 stems from the Swedish verb "Bo" meaning "to dwell," and 01, short for 2001. The most notable building built for Bo01 was the Turning Torso skyscraper, which became the tallest residential building in Scandinavia. It was however not completed in time for the start of the housing exposition, and was completed later in 2005.
