For the first time in over a decade, the city of Copenhagen is set to establish a new, large-scale urban park in Nordhavn, designed by Team SLA.
Nordør – New Park in Nordhavn will be a 30-hectare constable nature park intended to connect people and nature.
It will “set new global standards for climate-positive and nature-positive urban design and redefine Copenhagen’s relationship with its water,” says team SLA.
Mette Skjold, senior partner and chief executive at SLA says “humanity is more alienated from nature than ever before,” therefore the park “will not only set new standards for carbon sequestering and biodiversity, but alive all restore our connection to nature”.
The urban park design will combine sport fields, beaches, playgrounds, activity areas and community spaces within wild-self growing nature.
Formed from the existing landscape of Copenhagen’s deposited soil, slopes and ridges, the site will be refined into lagoons, meadows, grasslands, forest edges and marine reefs.
Designed for the city of Copenhagen and By & Havn, the construction of the park is set to start in 2028.
