We had the pleasure of welcoming a brave 6 PAX delegation from Freiburg in south-Germany for a 4-days exploration of state-of-the-art projects in the Copenhagen area.

A walking tour focusing of the area of Krøyers Plads of Copenhagen harbour kicked off the first day followed by a second day with visits to BLOX / BLOXHUB as well as the transformation of the former Carlsberg Brewery area.

Covering both the south harbour as well as NORDHAVN with a visit to COPENHILL in between in...

It was with great pleasure that we could welcome a group of 17 architects and engineers from Berlin for two tours - one tour exploring Ørestad by bike and one tour exploring Nordhavn on foot. The focus for both tours was Copenhagen's Public Private Partnership Model, visions of Co2 neutrality, plans for climate change adaption, and green mobility. We hope for much more collaboration between our two great cities in the future.  

We have had great tours exploring Nordvest and Nørrebro this week with students from Kenyan College in Ohio. The first group on Monday was from Professor Rob Alexander's environmental science class and we explored Nordvest. On Wednesday, we explored Nørrebro where the focus was on space is communicated through the senses.  These young and talented American students posed lots of great questions, came with great comments, and made the days enjoyable and interactive.

On August 5th, we had the pleasure of spending a wonderful day with 54 teachers from the Niels Brock International Gymnasium. We started the day with a talk on Copenhagen as Eco-Metropole, then enjoyed a vegetarian lunch at La Banchina on Refshaleøen. To end the day, we enjoyed a wonderful 2 hour harbour tour with blue water, blue skies and sunshine around us. What a wonderful day filled with many great and engaging questions - all while enjoying - and seeing others enjoy - Copenhagen's blue...

New ways to explore sustainable cities! 

After nearly a year of not being able to travel, we invite you to explore-from-home with our virtual tour of Nordhavn this January 29! 

In collaboration with Guiding Architects, we will take you to the docklands of Nordhavn - a transformational urban development district in Copenhagen with the vision of becoming “the sustainable borough of the future."

Located on the Øresund coast, Nordhavn is a...

Earlier this month,  BBC Travel featured an article which focused on the Danish concept of ‘Samfundssind’.

This term can be translated to ‘community spirit’ and is a concept that sits at the base of the danish society. Nonetheless, this term has become more and more relevant during the time of COVID-19 and as a result was assigned the ‘word of the year’ by Dansk Sprognævn (the Danish Language Council) and P1 radio station....

The idea of living locally and creating a community based around living green is a movement we see happening more and more. We strive to find a sense of community and a sense of belonging. Living sustainably gives us a bigger purpose. With this thought in mind we invite you to have a look at GRØNTTORVET, Copenhagen’s new budding district. 

The old wholesale Grønttorv in Valby, which since 1958 has been a trading place for fruit,...
