Angered
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Angered is a suburb outside Gothenburg in Sweden. Angered is the biggest Million Programme area in Gothenburg, and one of the biggest in the country with 40 000 inhabitants. Angered is multi-ethnic and is isolated from the rest of Gothenburg, therefore it is sometimes referred to as a slum, but it is also known for its beautiful nature reserves.
The hilly terrain forced the planners to build the different parts of Angered at some distance from each other.
