The municipality has chosen a partnership solution to bring a professional partner into the urban development project - a partner that can help to ensure achievement of the overriding goals and qualities for the development of the new part of the town. The Municipality of Køge naturally remains responsible for carrying out its usual legislatively required municipal tasks.
As such, Køge Town Council will continue to have responsibility for everything to do with, for example, municipal and local planning, construction permits and environmental approvals.

For Realdania Arealudvikling, the partnership concept itself is crucial. Realdania Arealudvikling is working to create quality in the urban development, and typically commits to major projects which, on account of their location, history or other factors, present exciting perspectives. Realdania Arealudvikling works with local partners and considers it essential that urban development is carried out with full consideration for the interests of the general public.

Køge enjoys a unique position in Denmark. There are good motorways to the south, west and north towards Copenhagen. Køge Havn is the eighth largest harbour in Denmark, and is still developing. Køge has a large transport centre and nestles in the perfect location between the Øresund Bridge and the planned Femernbro. The location of the urban development area close to the station is an advantage in the context of sustainable development.
