The compact town

Compact urban areas provide a range of benefits. Firstly, they provide the framework for a good, multifaceted urban environment with sufficient numbers of people in the various areas. This creates a need for varied activities and urban functions, and forms the foundations for diversity. At the same time, density provides good conditions for showing consideration for the environment.

In principle, therefore, what is expected is a town with a density comparable to that of Kartoffelrækkerne in Copenhagen, for example.

The project envisages built-up area percentages of 130 in the Station Area and on Søndre Havn, and 150 on the Collstrop Site.
