Here is e few of my favorite places in Copenhagen. Normally I write in Danish, but since you asked – thanks – from different corners of the world, this is in english, hope everybody is comfortable with that.
‘Favorite Urban’ list is not long yet, but I build on it so that you can return when you want inspiration for urban farms, urban gardens, roof gardens and all edible landscapes.
