In recent years, the interest for skyscrapers increased in Sweden again, mainly represented by the completion of Turning Torso in Malmö and the Kista Science Tower in Stockholm.

Many Swedish skyscraper projects have been canceled after protests, or because the plans were proved economically unsustainable. A 200 m (656 ft) high skyscraper was planned for construction in 2010 at [[Telefonplan]] in Stockholm's southern suburbs, but was canceled in 2007.<ref>http://www.arkitekt.se/s32313</ref><ref name="tellustower">http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=47946</ref> There were plans to construct a 325 m (1,066 ft) high skyscraper, Scandinavian Tower, in Malmö, but were canceled in 2004.<ref name="scandinaviantower"/> If built, the Scandinavian Tower would have been the tallest skyscraper in Europe.<ref name="scandinaviantower">http://skyscraperpage.com/cities/?buildingID=3586</ref>
