3. Copenhagen, Denmark Initiatives

4. Extensive Cycling Infrastructure Copenhagen is widely recognized as one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world. The city's comprehensive approach to cycling infrastructure has made cycling a primary mode of transport for many residents. Dedicated Bike Lanes : The city has over 450 kilometers of dedicated bike lanes, often separated from car traffic to ensure safety and encourage cycling among people of all ages. Example : Nørrebrogade , a major thoroughfare with wide, protected bike lanes that handle over 35,000 cyclists daily. 4

5. Key features Cycle Superhighways : Designed for long-distance commuters, these routes connect Copenhagen to its suburbs, encouraging more residents to choose cycling over driving. Example : The Farum Route, part of the Cycle Superhighways network, stretches 22 kilometers and includes features like traffic signal prioritization for cyclists.

6. Key features Bicycle Parking : Ample and secure bike parking facilities are available throughout the city, including at major public transport hubs. Example : The Nørreport Station offers extensive bike parking and facilities for easy transitions between cycling and public transport. Bicycle Bridges : Innovative infrastructure like the "Bicycle Snake" ( Cykelslangen ) and "Inner Harbor Bridge" provide seamless and scenic routes across busy areas and waterways. Example : The Bicycle Snake, a 230-meter-long elevated bridge, enables smooth transit across the harbor, avoiding congestion and improving safety. 6

7. Impacts Reduced Traffic Congestion : By providing a safe and efficient cycling network, Copenhagen reduces the number of cars on the road, alleviating traffic congestion. Lower Carbon Emissions : Increased cycling contributes to lower CO2 emissions and supports the city’s goal of becoming carbon-neutral by 2025. Improved Public Health : Regular cycling boosts physical activity levels, leading to better public health outcomes and reduced healthcare costs. 7

8. Renewable Energy Projects

9. KEY FEATURES Middelgrunden Offshore Wind Farm : Located 3.5 kilometers off the coast, this wind farm is a collaborative project owned by both the municipal energy company and local citizens. Details : Comprising 20 turbines, it generates 40 MW of power, sufficient to meet about 3% of Copenhagen’s electricity needs. District Heating System : One of the most extensive systems in the world, it utilizes waste heat from electricity generation and industrial processes to provide heating to buildings. Details : Covers 98% of the city's heating requirements, significantly reducing the need for fossil fuel-based heating. 9

10. Impacts Significant Emission Reductions : Renewable energy projects have substantially cut down CO2 emissions, advancing Copenhagen towards its carbon neutrality goal. Energy Security and Independence : By investing in renewable energy, Copenhagen reduces its reliance on imported fossil fuels, enhancing energy security. Community Engagement : Projects like the Middelgrunden Wind Farm foster local ownership and involvement in the city’s energy future. 10

11. Green Roofs

12. GREEN ROOF & KEY FEATURES 12 Green roofs are an integral part of copenhagen’s strategy to enhance urban sustainability and resilience. the city mandates green roofs on all new buildings with slopes less than 30 degrees. KEY FEATURES Environmental Benefits : Green roofs provide insulation, reduce the urban heat island effect, and improve air quality by filtering pollutants. Example : The green roof on Copenhagen’s City Hall ( Rådhuspladsen ) reduces cooling costs and supports local biodiversity. Stormwater Management : By absorbing rainwater, green roofs reduce runoff, helping to prevent flooding and lessen the burden on the city’s drainage system. Example : The Ørestad District’s green roofs play a critical role in managing stormwater and mitigating flood risks. Urban Biodiversity : Green roofs create habitats for birds, insects, and plants, enhancing urban biodiversity. Example : The Copenhagen International School’s green roof is designed to attract a variety of pollinators and bird species.

13. Open Spaces 13 Copenhagen is a green city well endowed with open spaces. It has an extensive and well-distributed system of parks that act as venues for a wide array of events and urban life. As a supplement to the regular parks, there are a number of congenial public gardens and some cemeteries doubling as parks. They had a massive investments to reroute wastewater, build overflow-barriers, and create underground water storage vessels, the water in the harbor is so clean that residents can enjoy a swim. Mobile saunas at the riverside add to the pleasure. The city plans to add more public spaces such as parks and community sport facilities to strengthen the urban social cohesion.

14. Impacts Social Interaction : Well-designed public spaces encourage people to gather, interact, and participate in community life. Economic Vibrancy : Attractive public spaces draw tourists and boost local businesses, contributing to the city's economic vitality. Environmental Benefits : Green and blue spaces improve air quality, provide shade, and enhance urban biodiversity. 14
