2:33 pm
really a challenge for us as the city, how to deal with the bicycle parking. we have to start investing really a lot of money in bikes we come barking. and one of the ideas is to build pipe bicycle parking out onto on top of the train tracks. 500 kilometers of bike pads. the city has been extending the network for 20 years now. the capital also has downtown leisure opportunities. we have a number 7 harbor best in the city, and really this whole experience of opening up the water making. it's much more livable. people for my work. they go down during the lunch break, they just have it take a swim, then they go up and work again. architecture and quality of life made in copenhagen. tamila vendors gets inquiries from all over the world. this time she's me, the urban architects and planners. from belgrade, like many others,
