Good news! What's the tallest building in Nykoping so far btw?

[Estboy]

OMG..good news...could it be the smallest city in S&B to have a >20FL?(highrise,not at tower)

[Gatis]

Interesting - I thought that in smaller cities the opposition against highrises is bigger? Project looks quite OK.

Nyköping has got one (1) highrise now, it's the hospital, 50 m tall.

Great news! 21 floors is tall! I would guess it will be around 60 m tall.

I dont understand why people call 100 000+ towns for small. Thats quite big for this area ;)

Well if you live in a 700 000+ town 100 000+ might seem quite small ;). Does someone have a TOP 10,20 or something list of the biggest cities in the region? I'm too lazy to make/find one ;)

that lsit was wrong. Västerås isn't our fifth biggest town its Linköping and Uppsala got 186 000 inhabitians and 300 000 in the county of Uppsala län and the whole Uppland got about 1-5-1.8 milion inhabitians ;) :) and around the mälardalen area theres about 2.5-3.5 million people i guess :P ;) :)

[crovax]

Great news! 21 floors is tall! I would guess it will be around 60 m tall.

55 m, according to the detaljplan.

[Estboy]

I use world-gazetteer (http://www.world-gazetteer.com/home.htm)
I know that many cities in that list have wrong pop,but try to find a better list for every country in the world... :)

Well, the list is taken from Statistiska Centralbyrån, so they should know. And Västerås is our sixth biggest, where did you get the no five from? ;) Do you have any source for 186,000? :)

55 m, according to the detaljplan.

Cool! Where did you find the detaljplan?

[crovax]

Cool! Where did you find the detaljplan?

Here: http://www.nykoping.se/upload/PLANBESKrosvallautst.pdf

Not much useful information, except some pictures and "...inom en begränsad area möjliggör detaljplanen en byggnadshöjd på 55 m"

It was something with 180 000.i thougth it was that. It used to be about that before ubt it seems that it have fallen :( but its ricing again :)

I think the population hasn't decreased in many years, but perhaps you think of some years ago when Knivsta still was a part of Uppsala kommun? Uppsala kommun had 186 000 inhabitants year 1998 (year 2002 Knivsta became an own kommun ==> -11 000 in Uppsala kommun).

[Pelle]

Actually Estboys statistics for Swedish cities is very acurate.
We do have to separate the community(kommun) and the actual city(tätort) Uppsala for instance is a good example, the community with 180.000 inhabitant covers over 2000 square kilometers.

[grendy]

I prefer actual city populations. Regions are regions and cities are cities, it's very hard to draw the line somewhere where the region ends. A region could be 1 major city + 4 neighbours or 1 major city + 10 neighbours depending on the way to count, so city's own populations are more accurate :)

[sdes]

55 m, according to the detaljplan.
Hmm.... 55m/21=2.6m :), sounds too low.

[Insane alex]

Hmm.... 55m/21=2.6m :), sounds too low.

yes, that can't be right.

[Swede]

I prefer actual city populations.
But then you have to chose between Urban Area or Municipality. Stockholm's Urban Area (not to be confused with the metro area, which is much larger) is 1 212 196, while the City's political boudry is smaller than that at 761 721
:D

2.6m is too low, can't be right.

[crovax]

Yes, it sounds quite low. Maybe it can be an early version of the detaljplan and they have added some floors. But the picture shows a 21 floor building, very strange.
