Now we´re moving a city!
After 18 years, it's finally time. LKAB is moving the commercial district from the old city centre to the new one.
To mark the occasion, LKAB is holding a three-day inaugural celebration on 1-3 September.In 2004 news of the urban transformation in Kiruna reached the world when it was announced that the city would have to be relocated. This transformation will enable continued mining of Kiirunavaara's rich iron ore, thereby securing jobs and the transition to fossil-free steelmaking.
Now the historic day is upon us as Kiruna enters a new era when the new city centre is inaugurated.
