Malmo crowdfunds effort to have a citizen from every country on Earth

The city of Malmo in the south of Sweden is launching a crowdfunding campaign to help it become the world's most international city.

Malmo already boasts a hugely diverse population, with people from 169 of the 193 UN-recognised nations currently resident in the city. The aim of the Little Big Malmo project is to recruit individuals or families from each of the 24 outstanding nations to join the city's population, which would make it the world's most international city, ahead of the likes of New York and London. The hope is to have achieved the goal by the time of the 2016 Malmo Festival -- in exactly a year's time -- when the whole city will celebrate with a party.
