The Danish government and greater Copenhagen mayors, working with Urban Power architecture and planning, have embarked on an ambitious scheme to create nine new islands off the coast of Copenhagen. The massive land reclamation project will provide new space for leisure and industry use, as well as a lot of energy production.
The project is named Holmene (the Islets) and will be located 10 km (6.2 miles) south of Copenhagen. It’s a huge endeavor and the nine islands will be made from surplus soil derived from the region’s subway and building projects – some 26 million cubic meters (around 900 million cubic ft) – will be used.
The islands will provide around 3 million sq m (roughly 32 million sq ft) of new space, including commercial and industrial areas and a natural landscape for sports and outdoor activities. Green energy is a major focus too and it will boast wind turbines and what Urban Power calls the largest Waste-to-Energy plant in Northern Europe.
Additionally, flood defenses and inaccessible reefs and islets meant for local wildlife will be created.
