Description
Development Director Louise Panum Baastrup leads a walking tour around Refshaleøen, a former shipyard area that has been developed as a leasing business, with a wide range of visionary tenants across, among others, music, gastronomy, sports, art and craft production. These activities play a key role in making Refshaleøen one of Copenhagen’s most popular destinations.
Based on extensive dialogue with stakeholders, the area has been developed into a sustainable and compact urban area, with respect for the site’s vibrant cultural heritage.
