Open international ideas competition for 3 mio. sq. m.

Lagt online 27.05.08

The Port and City Development Corporation has launched an open international ideas competition for the Northern Harbour in Copenhagen, a new urban development area with room for 40,000 residents and 40,000 staff in buildings with a total floor area of three to four million square metres.   

The vision for this unique site, which features waterfronts on three sides, is to create a dynamic, lively and sustainable city district with diverse, effervescent life and room for a broad mix of residents and enterprises.   

The competition is open to everyone, but is in particular aimed at urban planners, architects, landscape architects and traffic planners, who are very welcome to collaborate with experts in special fields, eg sustainability.  Total prize money amounts to DKK 3 million.

The assessment panel can select between one and five winners of the competition. If more than one winner is selected, the winners will be invited to negotiations with the Port and City Development Corporation about adjustments/improvements to their entries so that the assessment panel can select the final winner.

If the Port and City Development Corporation decides to continue work on the basis of the winning entry, such work will be carried out in collaboration with the winning entrant.
