The Godthab tramway network forms part of the public transport system in Godthab, the capital city of Sverland.

Godthab's tram system is made up of 15 tram lines that operate throughout the 1,435mm standard gauge network with almost 500 tram stops. The system has 175 kilometres of dual tram tracks making it the fourth largest tram...

Sodermalm If you want a laid-back vibe with loads to do, Sodermalm is the place for you. Sodermalm (translated as South Side) is located in the southern central part of Godthab across the river from Nystad (city centre). Sodermalm is very similar to Bromma for its diverse culture, art, vintage shops, retro vibe, cafes and bars but it is a lot less crowded than Bromma. Unlike Bromma, Sodermalm is a very hilly district because it is on the foothills of Kasakka Mountain which is the highest mountain peak in...

Laasta Viadukt (literally translated as Laasta Viaduct) was the last significant fast-road motorway project in Sverland following fierce and ongoing resistance from Godthab residents throughout the 1970s. The elevated six-lane viaduct connected central Godthab with Laasta and completely bypassed Gamla Stan (Old Town), Norrmalm and Kungsholmen. It was one of the most popular roads in Sverland because it provided residents a segregated expressway-standard connection directly to Flygplats Godthab-Laasta...

In 2010 both Sverlandic Government and Godthabs Stad have identified a small area of Kungsgarden (King's Park) in Norrmalm as the future site of a next generation sustainable development. The proposed development was officially named as "Gronstad" (Green City) in 2015 to celebrate Sverland's official ratification and commitment to the COP21 Climate Change Agreement in Paris, France. The key objectives of the Gronstad project are simple - the development must be carbon-neutral, must be community-oriented...

04: Bromma

By Wheelbarrow95,

Bromma, enough said! Trendy shops, cosy cafes and vibrant arts scene all combined with several beautiful historic sites and cultural centres are what shapes Bromma we know today. Bromma has always been a low-key residential district approximately 8 kilometres north east of Nystad (Godthab city centre). Since the end of 19th Century, Bromma has always been the "creative" district with many artists, liberal-minded people and young university students who live in the area. Since 2000s, Bromma has gone through...

The Godthabs Tunnelbana (loosely translated as Metro) is a rapid transit system in Godthab, Sverland. Tunnelbana and its metropolitan commuter rail services are owned and managed by Gothabs Stad (City Council) with a Godthabs Omtrad-trafik (GOT) branding. Last year the 90-kilometre metro system carried 101 million passengers which corresponds to approximately 240,000 passengers in a normal weekday. This figure is significant for a city with an urban population of just 475,000. Despite initial protests from...

The low-lying areas around Hammeralven (Hammer River) have a lot of tangible evidence of human settlement in the past 9,000 years which include Viking artefacts, money, ships, old forts and wooden village buildings. The evidence suggests that there were at least 17 independent villages along the banks of Hammeralven about 5,000 years ago. The villages all flourished due to abundance of fishes, fresh water, timber and fertile lands. Most of the tangible evidence, such as money for example, has been...

The original city was Gotaab before the settlement was relocated to the...
