::::Malmö is the seat of the ''landshövding'' (governor) appointed by the Government of Sweden, and the ''länsstyrelse'' (county administration board), called in Swedish a ''residensstad'' (meaning ''residence city'' because the governor ''resides'' there). It is therefore the administrative centre of '''[[Skåne County]]'''. '''Scania''' is a ''landskap'' (historical province) which is not an administrative subdivision as therefore has no "administrative centre". '''[[Skåne Regional Council]]''' is a ''[[County councils of Sweden|landsting]]'' ( ''sekundärrkommun'' "secondary municipality") responsable for health care, public transport, regional development etc. The seat of this entity is in Kristianstad. Confusing? Not really, it is how it works in Sweden. In most cases, however, the county and the county coucil have the same seat--[[User:Muniswede|Muniswede]] ([[User talk:Muniswede|talk]]) 21:52, 9 April 2015 (UTC) |

: This is the article for the historical province (''landskap'') of Scania, which is not to be confused with the modern [[Skåne Regional Council]] (''landsting''). ''Landskap'' and ''landsting'' sometimes overlap, but not always. So whether or not Malmö is the seat of the ''landsting'' administration doesn't really matter, as Malmö was the historical capital of the province (which no longer exist in any official sense, and so cannot have its capital redefined). Kristianstad didn't even exist until 1614. - [[User:Alltat|Alltat]] ([[User talk:Alltat|talk]]) 20:32, 26 May 2018 (UTC) |
