Malmö Municipality (Swedish: Malmö kommun [²malːmøː kɔˈmuːn]), or City of Malmö (Malmö stad [²malːmøː ˈstɑːd]), is a municipality in Scania, the southernmost Swedish province.

When the first Swedish local government acts were implemented in 1863, the Old City of Malmö was made one of the country's 88 city municipalities and the first city council was elected. The municipal territory has been augmented through mergers in 1911, 1915, 1931, 1935, 1952, 1967 and finally in 1971.

In 1971, the city was also converted into a municipality of unitary type, like all others in Sweden. Malmö Municipality, however, styles itself Malmö stad (City of Malmö) in all cases when it is legally possible. This is a decision taken by the municipal assembly. It is purely nominal and has no effect on the legal status of the municipality.

Localities

There are nine urban areas (also called a tätort or locality) and four smaller localities (småorter) in the municipality.[3][4]

The localities are listed in the table according to the size of the population in 2010. The municipal seat is in bold characters.

Note that a small part of Malmö (Arlöv) is situated in Burlöv Municipality.

City districts

Local government

The municipal legislative body of the municipality is the 61-member municipal assembly (kommunfullmäktige), elected by proportional representation for a four-year term. The assembly appoints the municipality's main governing bodies, the 11-member executive committee (kommunstyrelsen) and the 8 governing commissioners. The executive committee and the commissioners are headed by a municipal commissioner (kommunstyrelsens ordförande) or "mayor". The mayor is Katrin Stjernfeldt Jammeh of the Social Democratic Party.[11]

There are seven political parties represented in the council elected in 2014: Social Democratic Party (21 seats), Moderate Party (14), Sweden Democrats (9), Green Party (6), Left Party (6), Liberal People's Party (3) and Feminist Initiative (2).[12]
