Rosengård (literally "Rose Manor") was a city district () in the center of Malmö Municipality, Sweden. On 1 July 2013, it was merged with Husie, forming Öster. In 2012, Rosengård had a population of 23,563 of the municipality's 307,758. Its area was 332 hectares. Rosengård is often incorrectly referred to as a suburb, although the area is located centrally in Malmö, neighbouring the former city district Centrum. Long a destination for immigrants, 86% of the population had some foreign ancestry in 2008. History Most of Rosengård was built between 1967 and 1972 as a part of the Million Programme although some parts, such as the mansion in Herrgården, and Östra kyrkogården, are older. Rosengård is to a high degree populated by minorities. In 1972, the percentage of immigrants was around 18%, with the majority of inhabitants being working-class people from rural Sweden. Since 1974, there has been a white flight out of the area as more immigrants were assigned there. By 2012, the figure for those of immigrant background was given as 86%. Violence Rosengård has also been the place for several violent clashes between gangs and between the resident youths and authorities. Fire crews and ambulance personnel have also been threatened and attacked, as well as the police. In December 2008, riots occurred as youngsters confronted the police in which cars, wagons, kiosks, building sheds, recycling stations, and bicycle sheds were set ablaze. The background to the riots was the eviction of a local mosque. The riot was the most violent yet seen in an urban area in Sweden. The riot finally ended when police forces from Gothenburg and Stockholm were sent in. In June 2011, shots were fired at the lower floor of the police station in Rosengård. Nobody was arrested. In its December 2015 report, the Swedish Police Authority placed the southern half of the district in the most severe category of urban areas with high crime rates. In the summer of 2016, Malmö in Sweden suffered a wave of vehicle fires where 70 vehicles were destroyed in a series of attacks. Around half the fires took place in Rosengård. In the same year, after a criminal family had been evicted in an effort by the housing company to reduce crime, the office of the housing company was subjected to three bomb attacks. 2020 and 2022 riots In August 2020, the riots in Malmö started in Rosengård
