Svartöstaden is a
residential district to the West of Luleå. Originally the area served as the main
worker neighborhood for nearby activities and then for SSAB steal factory. The
area is today listed as a heritage site by the national authorities. In recent
years, cheap property prices in Svartöstaden have contributed to attract new
inhabitants such as artists, young families, etc. Today, this new social milieu
has come together to advocate for better social inclusion policies (e.g., to support
new rental housing) and urban amenities (e.g., schools, markets, cultural
buildings, etc.) as well as to contest other, more aggressive land uses (e.g.,
Norrbotniabanan Corridor).
