Klimakvarter
Copenhagen’s first climate-resilient neighbourhood. Improve life during formidable climate change.
Green streets, green urban squares, and cloudburst streets that diverts rainwater away from the neighbourhood, these
are ways in which we can avoid water damages when extreme rainfall events or cloudbursts occur. This is the vision for Copenhagen’s first Climate Resilient Neighbourhood. Developing a climate-resilient neighbourhood in Copenhagen by looking at society and nature to nurture and work together to develop a more sustainable and conscious landscape that adapts to the world around us.
