The Copenhagen skyline in 2009 – here viewed from Kløvermarken – is a key element in understanding the character of Copenhagen. 11
01 CHARACTER WE WANT TO STRENGTHEN THE CHARACTER <strong>OF</strong> <strong>COPENHAGEN</strong> THROUGH BOTH PRESERVATION AND DEVELOPMENT Copenhagen has a strong character. The city’s profile with the green spires and turrets, the tile roofs and the proportions and diversity of the urban spaces has a Nordic and uniquely Copenhagen feel. The visible historical layers, the green structure and the jagged coast line are key features. And the city’s relationship with the water combined with the scale of the urban spaces produces a unique atmosphere. These features create a character that is to be preserved and developed in the future with particular attention to the historical and architectural qualities that already make Copenhagen unique. Copenhagen should continue to be a well-preserved city that embraces new elements of a high architectural quality and a contemporary expression that highlight the city’s scale and identity. Thus, new architecture and new urban spaces should match the character of Copenhagen. New neighbourhoods should be world-class, but Copenhagen has no intention of simply copying European models. The worldclass level should be achieved by means of a modern interpretation of the spirit of place. By continually expanding our building culture with new architecture that interprets and renews the city’s character in a modern idiom we keep our cultural heritage alive. The city and its buildings should form a contemporary setting for modern Copenhageners’ lives. New urban development areas, urban spaces, parks, buildings and conversions should contribute to a diverse urban life embedded in the finest principles of sustainability. Thus, we should focus on architecture when buildings and areas are converted to new purposes. Conversions have a rich potential in juxtaposing new and old; this provides inspiration for new functions and creates new spatial conditions. One example of this process is the conversion of industrial and harbour areas to new and more functionally diverse urban neighbourhoods with homes, trade and industry.
