Tham & Videgård in a team with british practices Territorial Agency and A_zero Environmental Architects, was invited after international pre-qualification to propose an urban design and a strategy for the new city center of Kiruna.

The re-development of Kiruna is a reconstruction project, as the Kirunavaara mine, run by LKAB, undermines the current town center. 450 000 sqm of buildings are to be moved or demolished. In June 2010, the Kiruna council decided that the town would be moved eastwards, in the direction of Tuollavaara where an area has been chosen as the site for the competition.
