Tour to Ørestad and Nordhavn.Ørestad is a development area which extends more than 5 kilometres from the outskirts of the city centre to the edge of Copenhagen Airport. It is located on the island of Amager and is a reference for sustainable urban development especially on climate adaptation (‘blue-green’ spaces). Nordhavn is a role model for environmental, social and sustainable development. From an environmental perspective, the CO2-neutral urban area accommodates energy forms such as district cooling, district heating and geothermal energy, while solar cells will provide electricity.
