The entire center of Kiruna moves because of the giant mine that dominates the region. Underground mining is cost-effective and enables a high level of mechanization and automation. However, it causes deformations in the surface ground that, beyond a certain threshold, can render it impossible to maintain any infrastructure or residential areas in those locations.

The village of Kakstan, once a miners' residential area, is now an open-air museum in Malmberget. Following the mine's expansion and the railway's completion in 1888, there is a surge of workers arriving from across the country, leading to a housing shortage. In response, miners build simple wooden houses from waste materials. The entire Malmberget town moves in 2020/2021 due to mining activities in the area. Underground mining is cost-effective and enables a high level of mechanization and automation.

The Kiruna Church, a Swedish Lutheran church built in 1912, is one of Sweden's most famous buildings. It stands 40 meters (131 feet) tall and weighs 672 tons. The church is set to be relocated five kilometers (three miles) by truck to the new town of Kiruna on Tuesday and Wednesday. This relocation is necessary because the center of Kiruna is being moved due to the large mine that dominates the region. Underground mining is cost-effective and enables a high level of mechanization and automation. However, it causes deformations in the surface ground that, beyond a certain threshold, can render it impossible to maintain any infrastructure or residential areas in those locations.
