’Copenhagen through my eyes, or healthy people, healthy
town’
This video will shortly tell you about city, urban spaces and planning, parks &recreational possiblilities and the people.
Copenhagen is a good
model in terms of urban planning and design. It is also something of a
transport pioneer, aiming to become the world’s most practicable city for
cyclists. Its goal is to have 50 % of people cycling to their place of work or
education by 2015 (35 % cycled to their workplace or school in 2010), helping
the city reach an ambitious goal of being CO2 neutral by 2025
This year, Copenhagen is European
Green Capital, that means city has
high environmental standards.
Copenhagen has many
parks and gardens that are perfect places to relax, sunbathe, go for a stroll
or have a picnic. Most parks offer lots of playground fun for the kids. Some parks and offered recreational
possibilities there are shown in this movie.
King's Garden
King's Garden, the garden of Rosenborg Castle, is the oldest
and most visited park in Copenhagen.
n the summer
months it is packed with sunbathers, picknickers and ballplayers. It also
serves as a sculpture garden with a permanent display of sculptures as well as
temporary exhibits during summer.
.
Botanical Garden
It serves both research,
educational and recreational purposes. Copenhagen Botanical Garden is an
informal garden with free admission. There are conservatories, a museum and herbarium, a library (admission
by appointment only) a shop plants, seeds and a
small selection of garden equipment and eating place.
Frederiksberg
Park
Frederiksberg Park is
one of the largest and most attractive greenspaces in Copenhagen, designed in the English style.
Every year on Midsummer Eve, the park is a
rallying point for thousands of people who attend community singing, speeches,
music and a "witch"-burning bonfire at the lakeside in front of the
palace.
Langeline park
The Langelinie
Park stretches from Esplanaden in the south to Langelinie Marina and the base of the
Langelinie Pier
in the north. The park contains numerous monuments, buildings, a marina, statues and a playground. Among these are the Gefion Fountain, the Ivar Huitfeldt Column andThe Little Mermaid.
Tivoli
Gardens
Tivoli Gardens (or
simply Tivoli) is a famous amusement park.
From the very
start, Tivoli included a variety of attractions: buildings in the exotic style
of an imaginary Orient: a theatre, band stands, restaurants and cafés, flower
gardens, and mechanical amusement rides such
as a merry-go-round and
a primitive scenic railway. Here visitors
can find different possibilities for recreation.
Christianshavn
Freetown Christiania, a partially self-governing neighborhood which has
established semi-legal status as an independent community in an area of
abandoned military barracks, appears as a "city within the city". It
has a considerable population and is a venue for many cultural events as well
as experimental and idiosyncratic "Architecture Without
Architects".
It is
official municipal policy in Copenhagen that all citizens by 2015 must be able
to reach a park or beach on foot in less than 15 minutes
