While it’s far from being the smallest kommun in Skåne by area—that would be little ol’ Burlöv—Perstorp has long been its smallest by population, as well as being one of the few whose population shrank between 1970 and 2020 rather than growing like almost all the others. It might be thought of as the northwestern corner of the Heartlands region, with the titular town being the only settlement of any significant size for quite a way in every direction*. This relative isolation may have played a role in Perstorp’s former status as the center of plastics production in Sweden… but then again, it may have been the other way around. (Casuality is a funny thing.)
That’s one reason that Perstorp was chosen as a site for the resettlement of climate migrants, and the village of Nya Tuvalu established on the site of a former golfcourse near the lakes to the south of the town. As rational as this choice may have been, however, it was far from being universally approved of by Perstorp’s native residents…
* — There are plenty of other characterful villages out in the forests in between, though… even if some of them aren’t exactly “on the map”.
