Parkmuseerne – a New Museum District in Copenhagen Official Parkmuseerne – a new museum district in Copenhagen Official opening 18 March at 10.30 a.m at Statens Museum for Kunst. Members of the press are welcome. One million museumgoers. Three million park visitors. Parkmuseerne is a new museum district in Copenhagen created through the collaboration of the David Collection, the Filmhouse, the Hirschsprung Collection, Rosenborg Castle, the National History Museum of Denmark, and Statens Museum for Kunst (the National Gallery of Denmark). The objective is clear: to make Parkmuseerne a nationally and internationally acclaimed museum district. Parkmuseerne will be officially opened on 18 March. The days that follow will see the opening of six co-ordinated exhibitions sharing a common theme: Flowers. The subject will be considered from six widely different angles. Internationally acclaimed museum district ”With a total of one million visitors at the six museums and a total of three million visits to the parks each year, the area is excellently suited to becoming a unique museum district where visitors can experience the best from the realms of art and nature. With this collaborative project we wish to create a museum district to match those of other cities such as Berlin and Vienna,” says Karsten Ohrt, chairman of Parkmuseerne and director of Statens Museum for Kunst. Access to Parkmuseerne is easy. All the museums are within walking distance from each other, and they are set in parklands that span the King’s Gardens, the Botanical Garden, and the Østre Anlæg park. The official opening marks the onset of a programme of new, joint activities and experiences that reinvent how the museums reach out to their audiences. The objective is to meet the users of the area where they are, mentally and physically, by connecting the indoor and outdoor spheres and by linking up the museums in new ways. These activities join the museum’s regular rich array of activities and opportunities for users of all ages. A new website, parkmuseerne.dk , will present everything that is on offer and provide a guide for the entire district. Six exhibitions During the days following the inauguration of Parkmuseerne on 18 March the six museums will launch separate, but co-ordinated exhibitions on the theme of “Flowers”, exploring the subject from a wealth of different angles.

    V I E N N A D E C L A R A T I O N by the Mayors of the EU Capital Cities - “A strong voice in Europe” 21 April 2015 Introduction Europe is a continent of cities. Cities constitute a major pillar supporting the concept of a united Europe. EU policies shape the lives and everyday experience of the people in Europe; they also shape the economy and the innovative power of major cities in Europe. Our populations are European and international, and cities are a powerful force for promoting integration of peoples from Europe and around the world. Our solutions for living together are diverse as the framework conditions are different in every country and city. Thoroughly considered, consistent and committed decisions and actions are taken day by day in the cities of Europe to protect and enhance social and gender equity, sustainable economic growth and the future of democracy in Europe. European cities work every day to create truly democratic and inclusive societies. European cities are development test beds. Social and economic developments originate in cities. We, the Mayors of the EU Capital Cities are therefore convinced that the European Union must focus even more strongly on the urban dimension. I. Urban agenda: systematic involvement of cities in EU policies We, the Mayors of the EU Capital Cities, are strategic partners in shaping the European Union´s future regional and urban policy. Our joint goal is an Urban Agenda stipulating an urban dimension in all relevant EU decision-making processes. Cities should therefore be involved in the entire policy making process.

[email protected] New base will create closer collaboration between cities and the private sector to speed up transition to low-carbon economies 06th Feb 2017 – Copenhagen: The Lord Mayor of Copenhagen, Frank Jensen, today officially opened C40’s permanent office in the city. Drawing on the unique expertise in sustainable urban development found in Copenhagen, the new C40 office will serve as a centre for the network’s global Business, Economy and Innovation Programme. By supporting greater cooperation between C40 cities and the private sector they will help to overcome one of the major barriers to mayors delivering on their ambitious climate change agendas. "Copenhagen has one of the world's most ambitious climate plans and is on track to reduce CO2 emissions to zero by 2025,” said Simon Hansen, Head of C40 Copenhagen office. “There are great opportunities for C40 in opening an office in Copenhagen to draw on the knowledge here. The city has created a wide range of green solutions in urban planning, energy, cycling infrastructure and much more, which cities all over the world want to learn from." Mayor Frank Jensen serves as vice-chair of the C40 network, representing the 16 innovator cities within the network on the organisation’s Steering Committee. Copenhagen is amongst the most active cities within C40 and leads their green growth network. "That C40, as the world’s leading climate network for megacities, is opting to set up a base in the city is official recognition of Copenhagen’s position as a green leader,” said Frank Jensen, Lord Mayor of Copenhagen.

  • Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller
    Sovereign Order of St. John of Jerusalem, Knights Hospitaller TOUR OPTION 1 WEDNESDAY, 17 JUNE 2020 17:00 (5PM) sharp! MEET IN THE HOTEL LOBBY FOR A TOUR OF COPENHAGEN’S LATIN QUARTER & A NO-HOST DINNER. YOUR GUIDE WILL BE OUR VERY OWN COMMANDER JENS A. VEXO. WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE Latinerkvarteret Stylish Latinerkvarteret, or the Latin Quarter, is known for charming, colorful buildings on Mejlgade street, including the 17th- century Juul’s House. Buzzing Pustervig Square is home to global eateries and hip cafes serving traditional smørrebrød open- faced sandwiches. Cultural venues include East of Eden, a tiny cinema showing foreign and indie films, and the Women’s Museum, telling 150 years of women’s stories. The neighborhood dates back to the 1200’s, with the founding of a Latin school (hence the name), and later, the University of Copenhagen was created here in the 1400’s, lending an air of intellectual vibrancy to the narrow streets lined with medieval buildings. And while it’s an ideal place for visitors to base themselves during a visit to the Denmark’s largest city, it’s also convenient. From here, some of the best drinking, eating and sites in the city are all about a ten-minute walk away, in neighborhoods like Vesterbro and Indre By (the city center). We will visit… Rosenborg Castle Far more intimate than Europe’s usual imperial palaces, the turreted 17th-century Rosenborg Castle has three cozy floors with gilded chambers, chinoiserie, and intricate tapestries. In warm months, pick up lunch to go from the nearby smørrebrød shop Aamanns and go for a picnic on the lush grounds.

  • Letter to C40 Mayors from the President Of
    Brussels, 22 December 2017 Dear Mayors, On behalf of GasNaturally, a European partnership of six associations that represent the entire gas value chain, I am writing to you to present innovative solutions that could best improve the air quality in your cities. Air quality is one of the largest environmental challenges that municipalities are currently facing. Despite the strengthening of emissions standards, particulate matter strongly affects air quality, often leading to respiratory and other health problems among urban populations. To improve air quality, on top of technological breakthroughs, political courage is needed to promote a cultural change in how citizens use energy and to ensure the economic sustainability of city-led initiatives. Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) and Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) vehicles are ready, mature, and affordable solutions to improve cities’ air quality. Given the low capital expenditures required to convert gasoline-powered vehicles to natural gas, fleet renewals can be quickly accelerated. CNG- powered cars can achieve over 90% reduction of particulate matter and emit more than 30% less CO2 than petrol cars, without need for subsidies and without compromising on performance, as the engine is the same (see Annex I). Natural gas is also the best partner to support low-emission mobility through wider use of renewable energy sources. For example, renewable gas produced from biomass conversion of municipal waste and/or from renewable electricity via power-to-gas processes is fully compatible with existing CNG vehicles. GasNaturally welcomes the recent decisions of two major cities. Madrid’s public transport company, EMT, announced that it will order more environmentally-friendly natural gas-fuelled buses, reaching 75% of its fleet by 2019.
