1. Introduction 1.1 Green\Sustainable city

Promotes energy efficiency and renewable energy in all its activities

Promoting ecological strategies applies land compactness in the planning processes

Anchors its local development in the principles of green growth and equity

1.2 Location

Copenhagen is the capital and most populous city of Denmark Copenhagen

Located in the eastern district

History In around 1160 Arch Bishop Absalon ,was given what is now the City of Copenhagen. As a hub of commerce it gained power and wealth but was threatened for those very same reasons

2. What makes Copenhagen a famous city in terms of environmental planning

2.1 Green urban areas incorporating sustainable land use The Copenhagen green areas comprise all publicly accessible green areas within the municipal border Green areas include garden facilities, parks, nature areas, small parks and areas, sports facilities, allotments and cemeteries. Fresh watercourses and lakes situated in green areas are also included. All areas shown in the map have public access but are not necessarily owned or run by the City

2.1.1 New developments and population density

In Copenhagen urban development is concentrated in urban development areas which within the next 25-30 years are to be converted from industrial areas to new housing and commercial areas. Action plans are being prepared for the required municipal investments for each area and this will ensure coordination between the municipal budget and urban development

2.1.2 Plans and goals for green areas The City of Copenhagen has prepared a number of goals and plans to ensure involvement of the city’s green structure in other municipal planning, and the quality of the city’s parks and natural areas is being maintained and developed

Eco-metropolis

Park Policy

1) reduction of average distance to a green area and providing Copenhageners with easier access to the green areas of the city

The Park Policy is to ensure that there is room for trees, natural areas, playgrounds and green path connections in future

2)that Copenhageners use the city’s green areas for longer periods

Pocket parks 1) 2) 3)

14 pocket parks because small is good 3000 more trees because green is good Better parks because quality matters

2.1.3 The Finger Plan/green wedges

Region that urban development may only take place in the City Fingers whereas the areas between the fingers should be maintained as green wedges across municipal borders. The green wedges are important recreational areas for the entire Greater Copenhagen area

Development of green area

2008 1732 hectares

2009 2251 hectares

2010/11 2260 hectares

2.2 Nature and biodiversity

Promotion of public knowledge and understanding of nature and biodiversity

2.3 Waste production and management Recycling and waste awareness programmes

In 2009 a new waste management plan for the City of Copenhagen entered into force. The plan covers a four-year period (2009-2012) and consists of five areas of effort:

● ● ● ● ●

The City of Copenhagen has several initiatives that promote better separation of waste. The initiatives span from awareness raising, to efforts to make source separation more logical and easy for citizens and to enforcement of waste . management legislation

2.4 Water consumption

Support for the establishment of water-saving toilets and individual water meters, the City of Copenhagen carried out a two-year campaign to motivate citizens to reduce household consumption Reduce water consumption, the City of Copenhagen adopted a goal for water consumption according to which household water consumption was to be reduced to 110 litres per capita per day

3. Plans in Copenhagen

3.1 Five finger Plan Urban form in copenhagen owed to regional fingers plans , which required major growth areas sited along transit lines ,with large wedges of greenspace preserved between the fingers

3. Plans in Copenhagen Started at 2011 till 2014

r

It is the city of many bicycle paths. It is the city where you can dive straight into the harbour, if you fancy a dip.

Throughout the world, known for their sustainable solutions that combine growth with positive development for the environment and for the climate.

3.2 Municipal Plan

3. Plans in Copenhagen

3.2 Municipal Plan Sufficient housing for everyone ,Reduces price increases

Ideally a third of city trips will be by bike, a third by public transportation, and no more than a third by car

Investing in infrastructure projects will help Copenhagen be the city for alternative transportation

More city gardens and a greener city

Investing in areas that will improve the quality of life of the citizens

Copenhagen must ensure that the growth is sustainable to maintain their position at the forefront of environmental and climate solutions

Implementing green urban solutions will play a pivotal role in achieving carbon neutrality by 2025

3.3 Copenhagen Climate Plan In 2009, the City Council unanimously adopted the Climate Plan for Copenhagen, setting down goals for achieving a 20% reduction in CO2 emissions by 2015. In addition, a vision for a carbon neutral Copenhagen in 2025 was formulated

Copenhagen: a Green and Smart City

Energy Production

CPH Climate Plan 2025 Challenges

By 2025, Copenhagen will be the first capital city in the world to become carbon neutral. To reach this ambitious goal, the city council has adopted a comprehensive and targeted carbon reduction master plan that aims to take the city’s CO2 consumption from its current level of around 2.5 million tonnes to under 1.2 million tonnes in less than two decades

Actions

The Climate Plan is organised around four pillars: energy consumption, energy, mobility, and city administration. Wind farms, citywide efficient heating systems, energy efficiency, and the development of public transportation networks and bike routes are some of the initiatives in the works to bring Copenhagen closer to its carbon-neutral goal

Copenhagen: a Green and Smart City

The initiatives are categorised into four themes:

Energy consumption

Energy production

Green mobility

.

It is a plan for exploiting the ambitions about carbon neutrality as leverage for innovation, new jobs and investments To realise these ambitions, Copenhagen must act smarter and greener – and be open to new opportunities

City

Administration

Energy Production District heating In 2025, the production of electricity, heating and cooling in Copenhagen will primarily be based on wind, biomass, geothermal energy and waste.

The goal is carbon neutral district heating by 2025 with Copenhagen contributing to establishing a renewable electricity production which, in total, exceeds the city’s electricity consumption.

Electricity

Wind turbines

IN 2025, ENERGY PRODUCTION IN COPENHAGEN WILL BE BASED ON WIND, SUN, BIOMASS, GEOTHERMAL ENERGY AND WASTE

Solar energy

3.4 Action Plan Life on land The action plan is also a contribution to the global conversation on the operationalization of the SDGs in the cities’ work with social, economic and environmental sustainability as well as the first sting in the city’s long-term work with the goals

Life below water Climate action Sustainable cities & communities

The key efforts of the plans for transport

1) The City of Cyclists

The overall goal

To be the world’s best city for cyclists, and since 2007 this has set the framework for measures in the cyclist area

2) Improved public transport Improved public transport :Local Strains, the Metro and the high-frequency A-bus network are the foundation of the public transport system in Copenhagen.In the longer term it is proposed to supplement the Metro system with more lines, including to two large urban development areas

Length of designated cycle lanes in relation to total number of inhabitants in the city; As at October 2010 there were: - 346 km designated, physically separated lanes, i.e. 0.64 m per inhabitant - 23 km designated, marked and signed only lanes, i.e. 0.04 m per inhabitant - 42 km green cycle lanes removed from the road network, i.e. 0.08 m per inhabitant

3) Traffic calming and parking restrictions The City of Copenhagen is working in several ways to reduce traffic:

● ●

●

The City wants to introduce congestion charges in the same way The City has changed and expanded its parking strategy in order to reduce incoming traffic - especially commuter traffic the City is trying to encourage use of car-share schemes

Copenhagen is a good place to be. None of this has come about by chance. It is the result of years of planning and development based on the needs of Copenhageners, which they define as everyone who lives in, uses, visits, works with or runs a business in the city. It is all based on the life between the buildings.
