"This book looks at Copenhagen as a think tank for a liveable city designed for people, and shows how this vision is already being implemented today. Featured are some 30 outstanding buildings, urban plazas, and public spaces that have been created over the last ten years, and which have a significant impact on everyday life in the city. They include daring concepts such as Copenhill, a ski slope on the roof of the waste-to-energy plant in Amager by BIG; spectacular iconic new buildings such as the National Aquarium Denmark by 3XN; and revitalized urban spaces such as Israels Plads in Nørrebro by Cobe. Essays on current projects and future strategies highlight the phenomenon of bicycle culture and the urban regeneration of harbour areas. In interviews, architects from Copenhagen's unique architectural scene explain their visions and ideas. Like a kind of travel guide, this book offers insights into recent architecture and urban development in one of the most exciting cities in Europe today"--Page 4 of cover.
