Description
Our cities grow and spread loosely and incoherently out into the landscapes. The EU Commission is therefore looking for models for a more concentrated and sustainable urban development. On this background, the Centre for Strategic Urban Research and Realdaina Research have carried out a development project on sustainable, compact buildings in Denmark. Sustainable Compact City is a result of this project.Sustainable Compact City illustrates how, on the one hand, it is possible to gain environmental advantages by compact, dense and mixed building with low resource consumption and high floor space ratio, and on the other to satisfy the demands for modern housing and office building to have good daylight conditions, a desirable location and access to good recreational areas.The concept of compact city is illustrated through model studies of building types with high floor space ratios, and casestudie proposals designed for specific areas in the Northern Harbour of Copenhagen and in Kolding. In addition to spatial and urban qualities, wind, light and energy conditions are studied in the compact buildings.
