While i was surfing on the internet a few days ago, an article with a very unique park caught my eye. The photos of the park showed a place with a playful complexity and some very bight colors in its' design. Well...The 'Superkilen' urban park is a newly constructed open space situated in Nørrebro area in Copenhagen. That linear park, which is a kilometer long, passes through the most ethnically diverse and socially challenged neighborhoods of the danish capital since more than 60 nationalities lives in that area(!). 'Superkilen' is a project of BIG architects, landscape architecture studio Topotek1 and artist collective Superflex. The. The urban park, which is defined by three color-coded areas, integrates in a common ground, parts of each culture and nationality providing a space with distinctive functions and unique atmospheres.
F.Y.I (for your information...!): Copenhagen is considered as one of the most sustainable cities in Europe nowadays. This is achieved mainly by reforming the city in such ways that pedestrian and bicycle traffic is promoted over car usage. Beside the highly rated bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure that covers the city, Copenhagen is a city well endowed with an extensive system of open spaces and parks.
