The plan defines three central urban spaces – The city gate, The Urban Agora, and The Urban Village Pond. The Village will feature a ‘blue’ square, characterized by a large reflecting pool surrounded by accommodation options and cafes. The Urban Agora is an arty space where urban installations, lighting, greenery, and horizontal elements create a vibrant atmosphere that actively contributes to the area’s identity and the neighborhood experience. To strengthen pedestrian and bicycle mobility, a belted green will define the arrival to the site as a city gate – a high-rise motif with a passageway – so that a clear urban transition is ensured on arrival to Ørestad South.

The urban spaces in the neighborhood must become an extension of the companies’ indoor offices so that the people who have their daily walk in the neighborhood will use the urban spaces during the day – as an outdoor office, where you can sit down with your computer or hold a meeting outdoor meeting surrounded by, for example, water and plants. -Lisbeth Nørskov, director at CEBRA Copenhagen
