CREATIVE ENVIRONMENTS, RELAXED LIFESTYLE, CYCLE CULTURE, DEMOCRATIC DESIGN AND ACTIVE USE OF CITY SPACES Green Copenhagen – Copenhagen is riding on a “green wave”. Cycling, eating organic and reducing CO2 are just a few of the Copenhageners’ high priorities.

THE WORLD’S MOST LIVABLE CITY – Safety, tolerance, green initiatives and international connectivity were just some of the criteria used to decide the winning city when Monocle voted Copenhagen ‘The World’s Most Livable City in 2013’.

14

A HUB FOR DESIGN AFFICIONADOS – Definitions of Danish design have filled countless books and newspaper articles over the last few decades, but its essence is to be found in timeless simplicity, quality materials and functionality.

One thing is certain: Danes are among the leaders in world design.
