The city of Norrköping in Sweden was once known for its textile industry. The city has two nicknames: Sweden's Manchester, and Peking. The city is situated where the river Motala ström drains into Slätbaken?, a gulf of the Baltic Sea. Water power from this river and the good harbour was the foundation of the once industrial city. In the latter decades of the 20th century, Norrköping suffered hard from closing down of several big industries, causing unemployment in large numbers. |
