Fosie has many faces: tall buildings and industries, parks and houses with a long history and country houses. Fosie church, stone, and especially many of the housing estate names leads to the past. The future is symbolized by the green roofs at Augustenborg's eco-city of the future industries in Fosie företagarby (literally "Fosie company village") and proximity to new relations with Europe.

Inhabitants in Fosie originate from many countries. There are similar variations in the composition of the population and housing. An important element in the district is the Fosie industrial estate with some 10,000 jobs and 300 businesses.
