The railway city is the last major piece of urban development in southern Copenhagen. Over the coming years, the landowners, DSB Ejendomsudvikling A/S, Freja Ejendomme A/S and Baneby Konsortiet, will develop the 365,000 m2 development area into a new, modern district.
Jernbanebyen is a former `hidden` workshop area for Danish State rail in Copenhagen. The future new Green neighbourhood will be a landmark for sustainable urban development. Recently the first student tenants has moved in side by side with wooden hangars transformed into social venues for social dining. We explore the unique atmospheres on a 4 hours walking tour through new transformations and temporary projects amongst others:
Spor10
The vision for the Railway City is to create a green, inclusive and vibrant district in Copenhagen, and we would like to unfold this vision already now with Spor10, which will become one of the district's central urban spaces. The building houses actors who work with communities, mental and physical health, play, movement, sports, urban development, inclusion and sustainability. With Spor10, we already want to establish communities in the Railway City, before we start the urban development itself and thus lay the foundation stones for a common meeting place and meeting point in the Railway City, where there is room for everyone.
CPH Village Vesterbro | Archgency
CPH Village Vesterbro is another project of the popular modular housing for students in Copenhagen. The 184 new student homes are, almost literally, on the rails. The modular homes are located in near proximity to Copenhagen Central Station
BANEGAARDEN | Rønnow Arkitekter
We will wrap up the tour in the heart of DSB’s old railway maintenance area where Banegaarden invites the curious to Social Dining. Explore the wooden sheds normally closed to the public in surroundings from another time period, and see with your own eyes the area’s transformation from decay to green urban oasis.
