The ceety is situated bi the mooth o the river Motala ström, at Bråviken, an inlet o the Baltic Sea. Watter pouer frae the Motala ström an the guid harbour wur factors that facilitatit the rapid growthe o this ance industrial ceety, kent for its textile industry. It haes several nicknames sic as: "Swaden's Manchester", "Peking" an "Surbullestan" (Surbulle [sour bun] wis a local nickname for the textile workers, an stan is short for Staden, which means The Ceety or The Toun in Swadish)
History
The first trace o the ceety's name is frae 1283, when walthy David Appelgren, Laird o Östergötland donatit his rights o salmon fishing tae the Skänninge monastery. The toun is estimatit tae hae received ceety status in the early 14t century, awtho nae written documents exist prior tae a document frae 1384. This document, signed bi Albrekt o Swaden is stored in the ceety archive the day. Köping means thare wis a mercat thare.
In 1618, a wappen industry wis established bi superveesion o Gustavus Adolphus. The harbour an aa attractit ships due tae its proximity tae the industries o Finspång. In addition tae the wappen industry, a lairge scale industry o textile wis an aa initiatit. An important benefactor wis the industrial man Louis De Geer (1587-1652). At De Geer's daith, Norrköping haed 6,000 indwallers an wis Sweden's seicont lairgest ceety.
The ceety again burnt in 1655, an again in 1719 durin the Great Northren War when the Roushies burnt it tae the grund. Stanes frae the Johannisborg castle wur uised tae big new hooses, an the day anerlie a few stanes remain.
Durin the 18t century it wis rebuilt an several industries suin got a stranghauld: In the 1740s, Norrköping boostit three sugar refineries; in the 1750s the lairge scale influential snus industry wis established. Frae this time stems the ceety kirks o Saunt Olof an Saunt Hedvig, an several ither auld hooses.
Norrköping's importance again flourished. In 1769 the Swadish Riksdag assembled thare. In 1800 the keeng Gustav IV o Swaden wis crouned in the Kirk o Saunt Olof.
The ceety again suffered fires in 1822 an 1826. Thereefter widden hooses wur banned. In 1841 a ship industry wis initiatit as a branch o Motala Verkstad in Motala. In 1850 the industry haed ower 600 employees makin it Swaden's lairgest ship industry at the time. Durin the remainin 19t century, the industries kept expandin. The aurie bi the Motala Stream wis developed further wi the construction o a cotton refinery, an a paper mill wis constructit in 1854, specializin in newspaper, an is still the day exportin tae customers aroond the warld.
The industry, includin textile manufacturers, an aa expandit intae the 20t century. In 1950 a tot o 54 factories haed 6,600 employees in toun. Bi 1956, housomeivver, 18 o them haed been closed due tae competeetion frae kintras abroad wi lawer wages, sic as Italy an Japan. In 1970 anerlie 10 factories an 1,200 employees remained. In that year, the renouned Holmen paper mill, wi its 350 years lang history, annoonced is closur, an anither 900 fowk wur let go. Tae coonter the effects, several govrenmental authorities wur relocatit tae Norrköping frae Stockholm. See an aa Braviken Paper Mill.

The toun wis desertit follaein the Third Arab-Israeli War in 1967. Reconstruction o Suez began suin efter Egyp reopened the Suez Canal, follaein the October 1973 war wi Israel.
Suez Canal
There wis a canal frae the Nile delta tae the Gulf o Suez in auncient times, when the gulf extendit further north than it does the day. This fell inae disuise, an the present canal wis built in the nineteent century. The Suez Canal affers a significantly shorter passage for ships than passin roond the Cape o Guid Howp. The construction o the Suez Canal wis favoured bi the natural conditions o the region: the comparatively short distance atween the Mediterranean an the Red Sea, the occurrence o a line o lakes or depressions which became lakes (Lake Manzala in the north, an depressions, Timsah an the Bitter Lakes, pairt way alang the route), an the generally flat terrain. The construction of the canal wis proposed bi the ingineer an French diplomat Ferdinand de Lesseps, who acquired frae Said Pasha the richts o constructin an operatin the canal for a period o 99 years. The Compagnie Universelle du Canal Maritime de Suez wis formed. Construction teuk 11 years, an the canal opened on 17 November 1869. The canal haed an immediate an dramatic effect on warld trade.
In 1956 Egyptian preses Gamal Abdel Nasser naitionalised the canal, provokin the Suez Crisis. Follaein the Arab-Israeli war o 1967, the canal wis closed, an reopened in 1975.
The day, the canal is a vital link in warld trade, an contributes significantly tae the Egyptian economy; in 2009 the income generatit frae the canal accoontit for 3.7% o Egyp's GDP.

Turku
Turku (Åbo ) is a ceety on the soothwast coast o Finland at the mooth o the Aura River, in the region o Finland Proper. Turku, as a toun, wis settled durin the 13t century an foondit maist likely at the end o the 13t century, makin hit the auldest ceety in Finland. hit quickly became the maist important ceety in Finland, a status hit retained fir hunders o years. Efter Finland became pairt o the Roushie Empire (1809) an the caipital o the Grand Duchy o Finland wis moved til Helsinki (1812), Turku continued tae be the maist populous ceety in Finland until the end o the 1840s, an hit remains a regional caipital an an important business an cultural centre.
Acause o hits lang history, hit haes been the steid o mony important events an haes extensively influenced Finnish history. Alang wi Tallinn, the caipital ceety o Estonie, Turku wis designatit the European Caipital o Cultur fir 2011. In 1996 hit wis declared the offeecial Christmas Ceety o Finland.
Due tae hits location, Turku is a notable commercial an passenger seaport wi ower three million passengers travellin throu the Port o Turku each year tae Stockholm an Mariehamn.
As o 30 September 2014, the population o Turku wis 183,811, makin hit the saxt lairgest ceety in Finland. As o 31 August 2008 thare war 303,492 indwallers livin in the Turku sub-region, rankin hit as the third lairgest urban aurie in Finland efter the Greater Helsinki aurie an Tampere sub-region. The ceety is offeecially bilingual as 0 percent o hits population identify Swadish as a mither-tongue.
History
During the Middle Ages, Turku wis the seat o the Bishop o Turku (a title later upgraded tae Airchbishop o Turku), coverin the then eastren hauf o the Kinrick o Swaden (maist o the present-day Finland) until the 17t century. Even gif Turku haed no offeecial caipital status, baith the short-lived institutions o Dukes an Govrenors-General o Finland uisually haed thair Finnish residences thare. In the eftermath o the War against Sigismund, the toun wis the steid o the Åbo bloodbath. In 1640, the first varsity in Finland, The Ryal Academy o Turku, wis foondit in Turku. Turku wis an aa the meetin place fir the States o Finland in 1676.
Efter the Finnish War, which ended whan Swaden ceded Finland tae Imperial Roushie at the Treaty o Fredrikshamn in 1809, Turku acame briefly the offeecial caipital, but suin lost the status tae Helsinki, as Emperor Alexander I felt that Turku wis too far frae Roushie an too aligned wi Swaden tae serve as the caipital o the Grand Duchy o Finland. The chynge offeecially teuk place in 1812. The govrenment offices that remained in Turku war finally moved tae the new caipital efter the Great Fire o Turku, which awmaist completely destroyed the ceety in 1827. Efter the fire, a new an safer ceety plan wis drawn up bi German architect Carl Ludvig Engel, who haed an aa designed the new caipital, Helsinki. Turku remained the lairgest ceety in Finland fir anither twinty years.
In 1918, a new varsity, the Åbo Akademi – the anly Swadish leid varsity in Finland – wis foondit in Turku. Twa years later, the Finnish leid Varsity o Turku wis foondit alangside hit. Thir twa varsities are the seicont an third tae be foondit in Finland, baith bi private donations.
In the 20t century Turku wis cried "Finland's gateway to the West" bi historians sic as Jarmo Virmavirta. The ceety enjoyed guid connections wi ither Western European countries an ceeties, especially syne the 1940s wi Stockholm across the Gulf o Bothnie. In the 1960s, Turku became the first Wastren ceety tae sign a twinnin agreement wi Leningrad in the Soviet Union, leadin tae greater inter-cultural exchange an providin a new meanin tae the ceety's 'gateway' function. Efter the faw o Communism in Roushie, mony prominent Soviets came tae Turku tae study Western business practices, amang them Vladimir Putin, then Leningrad's deputy mayor.
As fir airchitectur in the ceety, baith the body o airchitectural styles as well as the prevalent wey o livin hae experienced significant changes in the 20t century. While haein survived relatively intact throughout the years o war 1939–1945, the ceety faced increasin changes in the 1950s an 1960s due tae risin demands fir apartments, the eagerness tae rebuild an maist o aw the new development o infrastructure (especially increased automobile traffeck). The widden ane- tae twa-story hooses that war the dominant mode o biggin in the ceety wur maistly demolished in the 1950s an 1960s tae baith enable mair efficient biggin an tae ease car traffeck. This resultit in the destruction o biggins that wis in later decades seen as beautiful an worth savin. Some individual biggins remain controversial tae this day whan hit comes tae thair demolition in the decades efter the war. fir example, the biggin o Hotel Phoenix that stood on corner o Kauppatori wis torn down tae mak wey fir a lairge, multistory apartment biggin in 1959. The biggin wis significant baith fir hits location an history: havin stood on ane o the maist valuable lots in the ceety centre syne 1878 the biggin haed fir example served as the first main biggin o the Varsity o Turku. Ither biggins whose demolition wis seen as scandalous aither already at the time o action or proved tae be sae in later years include The Nobel Hoose (subject tae the very first photograph ever taken in Finland) an the biggin o Old Hotel Börs which wis biggit in jugendstil in 1909 bi Frithiof Strandel.
Name
The Finnish name Turku oreeginates frae an Old East Slavic wird, tǔrgǔ, meanin "market place". The wird turku still means "market place" in some idioms in Finnish. The Swedish wird fir "market place" is torg, an wis probably borrowed frae Old East Slavic, an wis present already in Old Swedish.
The Swedish name Åbo mey be a semple combination o å ("river; creek; large stream") an bo ("dwellin"). As this pattern daes nae appear in ony ither Swedish place names in Finland, etymologists believe thare coud be a different explanation. Ane theory is that hit comes frae "Aabo", the Finnish rendition o the Roushie "Avram" (Abraham), which coud an aa be the origin o the name o the river Aura. Thare is houiver an auld legal term cried "åborätt" (meanin roughly "right to live at"), which gae ceetizens (cried "åbo") the inheritable right tae live at land ained bi the croun.
In Finnish, the genitive o Turku is Turun, meanin "o Turku". The Finnish names o organisations an institutes o Turku eften begin wi this wird, as in Turun yliopisto fir the Varsity o Turku.
