Kista Science Tower |
Kista Science Tower[a] is the second tallest building in Sweden with its 117 meters. For those of you who only have seen Kista in the 21st century, I can't emphasize enough the transformation from suburb to Kista Science City[b]. Back in 1990-something, Kista had a boring indoors shopping mall with a few stores that, besides the grocery stores, always seemed to be on the verge of bankruptcy. Then, around 2000, the mall was rebuilt, the tower went up, and suddenly this immigrant-dense suburb was hot stuff.
