security basically depends to 90 percent on the us out to the hotel commentary stance. april fools on dw, the skiing with a different there's no snow, but that doesn't matter. here you can hit the slopes all year round. copeland hill as it's cold, is located in the danish capital. the artificial sky facility was built in 2017 on top of a waste incineration plant. there are lifts to take ski fans to the start of the 100 meter high piece, which stretches over half the kilometers. not europe's most challenging slope, but it's most unusual. yes and scanning in summer is great,

so risky and some fish out really funny and show some t shirts. i'm sure the the environmental, the conscious danes have turned this into somewhere fun. a futuristic power plant where you can also ski climb and hike. one of the many attractions of a city which prides itself on being stylish, modern and practical their mouth. so focused on, i could say to us, officially, you guys have focus on architecture here, that'd be escaping. that's why i find it very danish and copenhagen ish to build a school, so on an incineration plan. so yeah. did you go the,

[000:00:00;00] the copenhagen, a city where historic buildings mingle with modern architecture. they do things differently here. the buildings are sustainable and visually dazzling. the green city has an ambitious goal. it wants to be the world's 1st climate neutral capital. the copenhagen has the top ranking says the world's most livable city on several occasions. copeland hill is just one of the many spectacular projects here. come i live under is has the overview. she's the

chief strategist in charge of copenhagen's green transformation. and my everyday life, i get to visit amazing places in the city like copeland hill and really use the entire city as my office. it's a job where every day i get to talk about the details of this great city and meet a variety of people that are all passionate about making change happen. she's been copenhagen's, chief city architect since 2019. she plays a big role in shaping both urban planning and architecture in the capital. first of all, i think it's about creating a livable city. as so, thinking very much from the perspective of the inhabitants here, what would make the everyday lives and the experience of moving around in the city being a child in the city, a better experience. and then of course, that translates into numerous factors. how green are streets? what is the quality of the ground floor as you move?

and how do you creates lively public spaces that up sun and make 2 a cheese? i always tried to sit stopped in this need of. what do we need to make this a great city to live in? and then scale the solutions and the architect jobs from there. the vision is to create a 21st century city. a city that combines commerce and ecology. living and working, relaxation and adventure. but even in a green city like copenhagen, not everywhere is squeaky clean. the canals, for instance, goods here in copenhagen, there is quite a lot of trash. but as to see there is

a lot of transfer me. i wanna just yeah. so this is where we start and from when we finish here we go explore the right green kayak combines the fun of messing around in a boat with cleaning up the environment. toby is one of the founders called it a trash hunt. so this is like a typical thing on mcdonalds and can kind of favor more passes. the concept is simple. anyone can use the kayaks for free as long as they help fish trash out of the water sometimes. so i wonder if i should be happy or sad about that because it's like okay, it's good that's we food on so much josh from the water. but things on the other sides. this isn't that up there. the 1st phase go after 2

hours on the water time for the weigh in. 17 t loads of trash, a sizable haul. edited clearly that for molten 60000 people have collected molding and 94 metric tons of waste with kayaks. and we're working hard to hit the 100 ton mazda tons deal. the message of greene kayak. we're all in the same boat. but when it comes to getting around town, the danes like travelling by bike best michel coldwell anderson has explored almost every city of the world on 2 wheels. the bike blogger has cycled in japan, brazil, and the united states. his favorite remains amsterdam with copenhagen,

a close 2nd 60 percent of the people living in the city of copenhagen write a bike every day. it's my doctor, it's my politician. it's you know, my lawyer and it's students and children. right. so it's not like psycho list, it's just copenhagen or it's on bikes. and we does that. you can design the city for that, making the bicycle the fastest way from a to b. everybody will do that. my goal is regard it as an expert on urban mobility. he's the host of the series, the live size city. the designer advise is on how to make cities more attractive and more livable. copenhagen is a model and worldwide. just think about the last century. we're a design country and we're proud of it. my kids of design in the 3rd grade, you know, and we learn the principles of danish design, practical, functional, elegant right? you really? there's a whole nother episode about how deeply rooted design is for the danish people. but that is how we've been thinking about the city for a long time. we're designing it,

right? make it fun, but make it practical. like you said, you know, combine all of these elements instead of just putting the mean to compartment fashion week in copenhagen as hale that the world's most sustainable fashion. we get his band, but the single use materials like plastic bottles, for example, the brands themselves also have to meet specific sustainability standards. the one fashion designer has turned away from conventional fashion and is having success and never the less or for precisely that reason. secret bunk creates high quality garments and his copenhagen studio from dead stock or leftover material as

well as recycled fabric it started the industry has to stick with it. otherwise it's just a marketing ploy. i think it's good what they're doing, but i don't entirely believe it's changing more. at least this way. more focus is on the fashion industry. edit is getting pushed to watch sustainability his label, m f, p n. taylor's exclusive clothing from classic styles to business and casual aware seager the bunk is one of the new stars of the danish design. seen. it doesn't regard themselves as a rebel, but as an outsider who calls things into question. because it does a will note a to mom she's being bought and produce as a my, as a mind position, it's a difficult thing to say, but we have to reduce our consumption because that's true for everything in life, from electronics, to fashion, to toys,

to is go to the healing scheme down the slope. well, trash is being burned. below the glass lift reveals what is happening inside the plant 70 tons per hour. each day, $300.00 trucks arrive loaded with trash, which the plant uses to create electricity and heat. the technology turns the trash into a cleaner energy. it's crazy that waste bonds can boast of the image of a city. usually these kinds of facilities are outside to city. hit no way that's not our approach. a city produces trash that has to be dispensed. it's important to make citizens a way to show them what happens here as part of the solution. the i think that is the facility is not without its critics who say it is too big for local

requirements and argue it would be better not to produce the trash in the 1st place . and yet it's part of the city strategy to become carbon neutral. and the waste to energy plant, as it's described as intended to help under pen copenhagen's reputation as the greenest of all capital cities. if we didn't found the trash it would end up in landfill and release methane gas because we're making energy out of waste. turning a profit from a problem, making it sustainable. it gets pretty down towards the content consumption and recycling things that no trash has created in the 1st place. that's still a long way off. if you're not financing, copeland hill is a power plant that turns waste into electricity and but it's so huge, but it's going to be the biggest and told instruction i know of copenhagen. how could we transform a little crazy?

you might say, well, plan coping hill is his work. bianca ngos 49 years old, danish star architect. but we do have models of trash. this sounds like science fiction. but this is the world changing potential of architecture. what started off as wildly fictional ideas, ski slopes and smoke rings, is turning into everyday reality. his designs are internationally renowned and he's in big demand. bianca ingles has already built a lot of buildings in his home city. there are few other places that can make bold ideas like these come true. did you compare copenhagen's of stock? comstock. com is this dramatic occupied i go with rocky islands and aust, lowest basically at the foot of of the hard to get caught in the mountain and the ski jump in the middle of a beautiful fjords at copenhagen is kind of flat. but when you look closely,

everything man made is, is thoughtful and has, as hasn't been made with attention and care. it's the design. it is formed even that, that makes copenhagen what it is. jock ingles designs buildings that have a lot of different above all diverse functions, themes to create ordinary things and extraordinary ways. there's no need for green buildings to be uncomfortable. enjoy lists according to ingles philosophy because he needs to say after we call it, i've had to this day as dana ability electrically came on a project we trying to create as a stain advantage. that is not just good for the environment, but then, but also improves people's line and think on the project of the day. what a po, uh, put in the sustainability that doesn't involve going without the little compromising and bathrooms some it, it couldn't. it should be the same thing that you want it to the museum in aust

baptist. if it did the pillow the red square in copenhagen, me on signage from moscow in china benches from a ron, a slide from japan. no pool. once it was seen as a rough neighborhood, but now it's become a hip multi cultural melting pot. the square is a conscious cultural invasion, made up of $108.00 objects for more than 50 countries. it was designed by bianca ngos together with local residents. the kind of big so you lived here, it's also where she gets her inspiration for songs or about autonomy and self determination. but also about how copenhagen text him. you have to for you to

be climate and sustainability play a big role at the moment on considering whether to release my album on vinyl. it's not possible. can you do that sustainably? and how should i travel to my next kid? that's no problem here in copenhagen. but what about when that's the way? how can you avoid being an environmental center? i ask myself that a lot. it's 5 pm. the top last little piece of trust time. so you, we, to have 29 year old on a alias nukes is one of the few women in the cities rap scene. she moved to copenhagen 10 years ago. some of the above the the for the 1st time i can go, we can go almost any way i want to push here to go scale. sometimes people give me funny looks when i say i'm going to work. but that's how it is. a golf and everything is close by m. copenhagen is like

a big village compared with the living. for example, police exempt copenhagen, young and hip to no other city has worked harder to transform itself into a sustainable and attractive place to live. this square is just one example. since opening this area, it's really become as a friend of snapple. it's like the living room of, of just out of the city. and so many people's that would never have come to this area now come here to do cultural events to go inside the sports facilities or just to hang out on this great square. so it's really changed the brand and the image of this face and opened it up and invited people from other places of the city to come

here. when it comes to the mobility revolution. copenhagen is outpacing itself. in the last 10 years alone, the city has invested 300000000 euro is expanding bike pads. so many people cycle that there is not enough room for everyone. especially at rush hour. now the city is creating more places for bikes to park. that's really a challenge for us. is 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. camilla vendors gets inquiries from all over the world. this time she's me, the urban architects and planters. from belgrade, like many others, they've come to learn from the city. the serbian capital face has different problems, but shares the same goal to become a better place to live able to, to build those when you come to copenhagen, what are the kinds of the lessons or the things that we can maybe show you that can be interesting biggest issue for us,

the green ways of transportation to the point 7 percent. people driving by one of the succession of the bicycle and destruction also that we always started putting it on the street and not in the parks. it takes a lot of courage from the planners and some of the local politicians to take space away from the cause. right in the middle of it all green instead of gray is the goal is denmark's 1st urban roof garden, a little oasis, flowers, herbs, fruit and organic vegetables grow here over 600 square meters on the list every tuesday is volunteers, day a win members work along side volunteers up here on the farm and mine facility. i'm interested in ecology and i like being outdoors. i live on the 3rd floor and i don't have any possibility of growing anything. my so guarantee

. so do you have the newest say, face the night, see about it is so many different people coming together from all around the world . and we're going to come in close just to and voluntarily x on tuesdays mean as well into your day. we will just come because we want to be here and because we like to be at night. sure. and i think that's really really cool. yeah. up to 2014 . this was the roof of a former car auction house. now it's a grow your own paradise with several b colonies. its own hen coop, rabbit pins, and a compost facility. the idea of transplanting green agriculture from the country into the city came from libya, urban swap, holland. she was studying horticulture at the time this the cool group again is the dream into. we want to create to see fun with local and sustainable agriculture,

which would give urban residents with little contact to nature. that's where up the possibility of experiencing organic farming 1st. because of it in and supporting in just a minutes where people say, but i think too is not enough. discovering the joys of growing your own food. watching plants develop and finding out what they need to anyone can participate and community is important to you. and of course, there's also a message so you can work with them. didn't just go to the again what this to grow so nicely demonstrates, in my opinion, is that we should eat more locally grown food. if you could please me and we should eat more vegetables itself or space or cannot, we should make sure that we eat organic food and we should show respect and pay more heat to the natural cycle and seasons. pardon? no, the off to or this may not be off to gas toronto me is also part of the concept . that's the goal is the 1st urban rooftop farm that's

a restaurant to under is cooking for. the members today on the menu is obtaining fennel, baked red potatoes, and a colorful salad. and then this have been a good many good on the side. that's one unit. so for the reasons don't say bad and this my and a and catch you, my herb and gardening is a relaxing kind of work. you can either take the vegetables home with you or enjoy the reward of a sit down meal. at the end of the day i this takes urban gardening to a completely new level, from banker to vegetable grower. 8 years ago, under friedman switched in office for a production site and a suit for protective clothing when he set up europe's biggest indoor vertical farm in the danish capital.

the same time in 1415 spanish in similar leafy greens can be harvested after just 4 to 6 weeks. his goal is to achieve urban food security officer and the wall and you frame we are both available for security or supine pool. so we need to be able to have full production inside of the cities. as part of the infrastructure of

denmark imports the bulk of its greens from elsewhere, the understanding and says that 20 vertical farms like his could meet domestic demand. the conventional agriculture accounts for 30 percent of global warming and use is 38 percent of the world's land surface. they opportunity i want to in the race and have in these uses that we have access to technology says that's what's enabled us to produce much small food on this space. so we can free off accurate quote from the end and turn it back into what it was originally useful. namely, force punishment is optimistic, that vertical farms like his will soon be contributing to food security and healthy

nutrition world wide. the cities iconic, little mermaid. she isn't worried about rising sea levels, but copenhagen is over the next 10 years, 350 trucks, a day will travel through the city to the port. it's part of the biggest building project in danish history. several $100000000.00 metric tons of earth and sand will go into creating luna at a 100 and the new artificial peninsula is meant to shield the capital from the impact of storms and provide additional living space . the funding is $150.00. the peninsula is so important because it results many of the capitals challenges in one sale swoop, and i missed it, protects per se t from the consequences of climate change, provides a way of disposing of excess excavated us and creates

a living space with schools offices, and commercial property, i knew it as being a defense against future storm searches and a completely new waterside district. housing, $35000.00 people on 3 square kilometers. that's how politicians and developers are promoting the project. michael called the n as in hopes that won't get that far. he isn't the only one concerned about the baltic sea in the middle, hong it's, it says environmental catastrophe. and yeah, they're not talking about that about and we'll, we're moving all of this diverse ocean life from the ocean floor. and also all the fresh water that comes in and out of the baltic sea to germany as well. we're basically putting a cork in one of these under ground, you know, channels. so like the water quality in the baltic sea already bad, it's going to get worse. an active preservation for destruction.

denmark historic project to counter climate change is highly controversial. it's due for completion in 2017, something called the green washing. other say it's an essential defense against flooding. copenhagen is regarded as particularly at risk. jeanetta harmony is a solution to it. and the solution and the discussion is cost. and how big should it be? a how much of he needs a home and should be a natural landscape, how much should be building. but i think regardless of who you talk to, there's another thing that we have to do something because otherwise the historic city will be flooded in a 100 years. and i don't think anyone is, is ready to do that in a city with a flare for forward looking design that's

combining sustainability and fund and wants to be a pioneer when it comes to social cohesion and healthy living. a green vision here. people count not cars, hip hi tech, and who believes while other cities struggle to face the teacher. and copenhagen, it is all ready arrived, the

people down the comfortable lounge dedicated work in the customizable space which is using the idea trained to test innovative concepts what trains offer us in the future made in germany in fact see minutes on d w.

the is a deal. the news coming to live from berlin. hundreds injured in a powerful earthquake, that rocks tie with on the big tremor hips near the eastern city of quality, yet bringing down buildings and knocking out power and trapping. people in the ruins also coming up on our show today, world leaders condemn israel's air strikes on a humanitarian convoy disease. i'm comfortable, but it isn't even, that'd be simple results of the way the warranty is being conducted. they attacked
