I visited Växjö for about a week recently. I was quite impressed with the city as a very pleasant, livable place that is being developed with an excellent sense of direction. I feel strongly that someone should add information to the current English Wikipedia article, specifically concerning the good "green" things that are happening in the city and its immediate region.
For instance: the shift to renewable-energy reliance for electricity (specificaly, biomass), and also the project to reform the local chemical industry (a key industry in the city and surrounding area) to something more benign and in-step with the times. Also, I understood that plans are being considered for working toward the retrofitting of older buildings for energy efficiency. Also ideas about a possible "remaking village" in the city are being considered, so that jobless people could be employed in the recycling/rebuilding of discarded products into useful things.
In any case, I admired the high proportion of pedestrian traffic in the city (rather than there being cars everywhere). The carless "amenity" seating areas in the main part of the city are very nice — and the trails and areas around the two lakes are very well kept and pleasant. There are lovely wild birds there. I also very much liked the big food co-op with outdoor café seating & tables.
(I also liked the outdoor clothing and equipment stores.)

Andreas Ravelli, football
Who would've thought, sports have gone so downhill that they have to hire people to work as footballs instead of making new ones? Disgusting. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.27.160.189 ( talk) 13:25, 4 August 2016 (UTC)
Added back a condensed version of the 2015 arson incidents, this is relevent to the modern history. -- Devokewater ( talk) 13:58, 3 July 2020 (UTC)
