Building liveability: Copenhagen's sustainable urban development

[@sandramurray5879]

What a very interesting and informative video. I love learning about architecture. I saw the bridge shown at the beginning being drawn up to let a boat pass, in February and I stayed at a lovely new hotel that looked onto that very bridge. I fell in love with Copenhagen and my partner and I talk about Denmark every other day. I loved the opera house and saw La Boheme there. It is just so beautiful and I also love the circle bridge and the round tower. The little mermaid was more beautiful than I had imagined and I can't wait to return there.

I love how the bridge opening is filmed as if all the people staring at it are in awe, but as someone who's regularly in that situation, in reality they're just annoyed that they're going to be 5 minutes late to wherever they were going.

[@iGottaRandomName]

Its not really viewed like that here. People living in an area, where the housing-prices to up, can sell their cheaply bought apartments for much more than they bought it for. With your newly acquired pile of money, you can buy something bigger in a cheaper area, or take a loan (which is easy when you have cash already) and buy yourself something bigger. Buy that "something bigger" in some of Copenhagens less developed areas and hope for a price-boom when progress reaches it. Havent met anyone with a negative opinion about it here. For outsiders who can't really afford to move to a certain area. Tough luck, buy something cheaper. Source: A dane from Amager.

[@Lildizzle420]

I don't know how denmark operates but i hear housing prices go up and I think bjork will never think about if he can afford an apartment in Copenhagen because there are harbor baths all over the place and I ask do they really think about the people around the buildings? or just housing prices

[@andrewjensen8189]

Well if you haven't noticed, housing prices go up everywhere except in broken economies. A $10,000 home was unaffordable back in 1900, price appreciates over time. Especially in capital cities. And yes I do think Bjork thinks about the public amenities such as public harbor baths when he thinks about investing in real estate. I for one would rather spend a butt load of money and get extra amenities than no extra amenities...

[@Lildizzle420]

@@andrewjensen8189 I asked if he thinks about affordability and some how your mind changed it to amenities. that's what happens in my city when I say "where are we going to build low income apartments" and my neighbors respond "we're going to have a new plaza"

Prices on houses are going up and down, it will always chance that’s the same in every country!

I look forward to the day when all of these "stakeholders" are revealed so that people can know who was behind all the changes that transformed this world in to a place they can no longer recognize.

[@bzdtemp]

What makes you think people here in Copenhagen can not recognize the city? Seems to me you are trying to project a single statement from this video on some context that is not in the video but only in your won head.

[@aristeon5908]

I don't like this kind of architecture at all. Paradoxically, cities like Hong Kong, Singapore and Tokyo have amazing dynamism because they just build high density simple housing instead of overintellectualizing urban development. Hong Kong for example is a city of extremes, with huge residential skyscrapers. Most Europeans will scoff at it and say they hate it. But, I loved it. In one Hong Kong neighbourhood I lived in, there were dozens of huge residential skyscrapers clustered around a metro station and a shopping mall. A park, a sports ground, supermarkets and convenience stores open 24 hours, a library, an old traditional village and night bud stops were all in walking distance. Moreover, every building had a 24 hour reception. That was a middle class and low middle class neighbourhood, and yet thanks to high population density and good planning it had everything, from restaurants to infrastructure, it was clean and safe, and you always saw people around. Whereas European suburbs, well, sure, you have a lot of space and quiet, you love on the 5th floor instead of on the 35th floor, but, they're slow, sleepy and boring, lacking energy and dynamism. Europe is just way too conservative and that prevents governments and communities from building more diverse urban landscapes in the suburbs to create more options.

To each his/her own

[@aristeon5908]

@@ChristianW1975 That's true,but the issue is we don't have that kind of choice in Europe. If I want to enjoy a futuristic city, I must go to China, Japan, Korea or Singapore. They have embraced modernity while we in Europe, even young people, are turning into an ultraconservative museum-society. I love old cities, mind you, but we should also embrace modern architecture and urban planning, especially in our suburbs. With high density high rise planning, we could save up a lot of land, create better infrastructure and services, and give residential outskirts more dynamism. At least we should have some areas like that and let people choose.

Winter is gloomy (but not as much as Stockholm where I reside). On the other hand when summer comes around the Sun raises around 4am and sets at 10pm, so you get a lot of sunshine then.
