Urban Life Accounts Trends in Copenhagen’S Urban Life 2010 URBAN LIFE ACCOUNTS TRENDS IN COPENHAGEN’S URBAN LIFE 2010 1 MORE URBAN LIFE FOR ALL 95% of Copenhageners find it important or very important that their city offer a dynamic and varied urban life.* A good urban life is an important fact for the quality of life for Copenhageners, and it is one of Copenhagen’s advantages in the competition with other cities. Therefore, Copenhagen has a vision of being a metropolis for people. A city with a diverse and unique urban life for all. We have set three goals for urban life in Copenhagen in 2015: More urban life for all, More people to walk more and More people to stay longer. This booklet focuses on the first of the three goals: More urban life for all. The booklet presents a snapshot of activities and experiences in the city. On this background we take stock of urban life in Copenhagen on a general level and describe some development trends. * Source: Catinét CONTENTS 1 URBAN LIFE IN COPENHAGEN Urban life in Copenhagen is exciting and varied Copenhagen’s 2015 objective 2010 status 2 URBAN LIFE MEANS OUTDOOR CAFÉS AND RESTAURANTS A cafe latte, please!

Half of all events take place in the inner city The most popular events are concerts, exhibitions and markets Some of the raw data material is available on www.kk.dk.

URBAN LIFE IN COPENHAGEN URBAN LIFE IN COPENHAGEN IS EXCITING AND VARIED All Copenhagen districts are characterized by a close network of public transportati- on and close access to green areas, water and urban spaces that offer a chance to re- lax, exercise or take part in cultural experiences. But there are variations in residents’ perceptions of the quality of the facilities and their distance from the home. In 2010, we asked the Copenhageners how satisfied they were with urban life. The poll found that Copenhageners generally find the city exciting, dynamic and varied, and that some districts in particular are perceived as inspiring.

As soon as the sun peeks out, the city squares are packed with café goers. Warm blankets and gas heaters extend the outdoor season from early spring until well into autumn, in some places even all year round. In 2010, the City of Copenhagen issued 450 permits for outdoor seating, which is an estimated 11,500 seats. The number of seats is an estimate because restaurants do not declare how many chairs or benches they put up. The calculation is based on the size of the areas in question. This area is divided by 0.75 based on the estimated size of an outdoor seat of approximately 0.75 square metres. Most of the outdoor seating is found in the inner city, including Christianshavn, which has an estimated 7,053 seats, 61% of the total number in Copenhagen. number of permits number of seats (estimated) Inner city + Christianshavn 266 7,053 Vesterbro, incl.

Here, 78% are satisfied with availa- bility, while 10% are downright unsatisfied, and 12% say neither/nor. All restaurants in Copenhagen are required to have a permit for outdoor seating, but it is only in the inner city that the permit costs money. Hence, many restaurant owners outside the inner city may not be aware that they need a permit.

The space supplies daylight to the surrounding offices and corridors. Preface Danmarks Nationalbank is Denmark’s central bank. Its objective is to ensure a robust economy in Denmark, and Danmarks Nationalbank holds a range of responsibilities of vital socioeconomic importance. The Danmarks Nationalbank building is centrally located in Copen­ hagen and is a distinctive presence in the urban landscape. The build­ ing, which was built in the period 1965–78, was designed by interna­ tionally renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. It is considered to be one of his principal works. In 2009, it became the youngest building in Denmark to be listed as a historical site. When the building was listed, the Danish Agency for Culture highlighted five elements that make it historically significant: 1. The building’s architectural appearance in the urban landscape 2. The building’s layout and spatial qualities 3. The exquisite use of materials 4. The keen attention to detail 5. The surrounding gardens This publication presents the Danmarks Nationalbank building, its architecture, interiors and the surrounding gardens. For the most part, the interiors are shown as they appear today.

  • Research on Scale of Urban Squares in Copenhagen
    Research on scale of urban squares in Copenhagen Master of Science Programme in Spatial Planning with an emphasis on Urban Design in China and Europe Author : Chang Liu Email:[email protected] Superviser: Gunnar Nyström Date: 2013/08/13 Blekinge Tekniska Högskola Karlskrona, Sweden Urban Design in China and Europe 2013 Research on scale of Urban Squares in Copenhagen Abstract The urban square is one type of urban public space which has a long history in western countries. The square in China is a more recent concept, and designing squares seems dominated by the concept "the bigger city, the bigger square". This has triggered the author to start a research on scale issue of squares. The theoretical work is on the basis of previous studies of spatial scale and square scale, combining the theory of human dimension from physical and psychological factors. The absolute scale of a square is constituted by its size, while the relative scale reflects the square’s power of attraction. In the investigation of the six sites the size of the square, the size of subspaces, the height and width of buildings in the surroundings is measured and the manner of enclosure and space division is observed, thus the architectural field is calculated and evaluated. The situation of how many people come to the squares and how the spaces are used is observed. A comparison and analogy between each of the two squares of the same type is conducted in the discussion chapter. The scale of three types of squares in the Scandinavian capital city Copenhagen is looked at: civic squares, traffic evacuation squares, leisure and entertainment squares.
