Abstract

The estimated population boom of 1000 inhabitants pr. month in Copenhagen initiates the discussion of density in the context of Copenhagen. The idea of densifying in the existing urban structures, to think inwards, is what defines the project vision of Nybro A synergy between the nordic tradition of the urban space and an inspiration in the low-scale structures of Tokyo forms the design of Nybro - creating new spatial experiences in a local neighbourhood in the inner city of Copenhagen. Nybro is a design principle on how to densify in the existing city, without reducing the existing quality of the good welfare city. The project secured the good quality through optimal pocket parks and new interesting typologies, that makes people want to move closer together.
