Jakriborg

Jakriborg is an apartment building district, or new town, under construction at suburban Hjärup, between Malmö and Lund in the Southwest Scania metropolitan area opposite to Copenhagen on the Swedish side of the Danish-Swedish border. Hjärup is built on the fields of the village of Uppåkra, which existed for a thousand years as the predecessor of Lund until the town was moved in 990 to a new and more secure location a few miles away, at which time Uppåkra reverted to a village. Jakriborg is separated from the rest of Hjärup by the railroad Malmö-Lund on the Copenhagen-Stockholm line.
