Description

This week on URBCAST, I’m joined by Viktor Forchhammer, from Kragh Berglund who shares a visionary yet realistic take on reimagining Copenhagen’s busiest, most polluted boulevard.

We dive into how a noisy traffic corridor could instead become one of the city’s most vibrant green spaces. Together we talk about:

✅ The hidden cost of car-dominated planning

✅ Why trees, bike lanes, and wider pavements matter

✅ The politics (and price) of investing in greenery

✅ The future of H.C. Andersen Boulevard


Copenhagen is already known as a green city — but its biggest street tells another story. Could this be the moment to give space back to trees and people? 🌿
