The Highway Projects That Almost Destroyed Copenhagen (and a reminder that megaprojects can die)

Urban design expert Mikael Colville-Andersen walks you through a series of planned highway megaprojects slated for Copenhagen in the car-centric planning era of the 1950s-1970s. Massive highways that would have razed entire neighbourhoods to the ground. Like in other cities with similar plans - Oslo, Helsinki, Amsterdam, Vancouver - we’re thrilled today that they never happened. Unless you’re Stockholm, where they were actually built and the city battles with that legacy today. Still, remnants of these megaproject plans are still present in the city today. Projects called Søringen (The Lake Ring), City Plan Vest, Forumlinien (The Forum Line) and even a 1910 proposal to drain the iconic Nyhavn canal in the city. Madness. But this is a cautionary tale because due to the massive prosperity in Denmark, a new age of megaprojects is underway. Ridiculous projects like Lynetteholm - run by the Chinese-styled company By og Havn, Avedøre Home, Kattegatforbindelsen - all are flashbacks to the 1950s planning mentality and they all threaten the environment, sustainability and the way of life for Danes. But remember… megaprojects can die. Keep up the fight. Here is an article version of this video:   / the-highway-projects-that-almost-destroyed...   In Copenhagen or Denmark?
