Copenhagen continues to build and expand, and the next stage will be the development of Refshaleøen, a former military base and industrial zone on the harbourfront across from the Little Mermaid statue.
But what will the mobility mix look like when the district is completed in a couple of decades' time? Copenhagen is world famous for its cycle culture, but the Danes are buying more cars than ever, and driving them more kilometres too. Meanwhile, the Metro link looks like it will come after the majority of new residents have moved in, which isn't ideal…
One of the organisations hoping to be involved in planning the transport for the Danish capital in the future is Beta Mobility. We meet with its co-founder, architect Robert Martin, to hear how he sees the city's transport mix of the future and take a trip to Refhaleøen to hear how he would like things to shape up as the Danish capital moves into the second half of the century.
