It was with great pleasure that we could welcome a group of 17 architects and engineers from Berlin for two tours - one tour exploring Ørestad by bike and one tour exploring Nordhavn on foot. The focus for both tours was Copenhagen's Public Private Partnership Model, visions of Co2 neutrality, plans for climate change adaption, and green mobility. We hope for much more collaboration between our two great cities in the future.  

We have had great tours exploring Nordvest and Nørrebro this week with students from Kenyan College in Ohio. The first group on Monday was from Professor Rob Alexander's environmental science class and we explored Nordvest. On Wednesday, we explored Nørrebro where the focus was on space is communicated through the senses.  These young and talented American students posed lots of great questions, came with great comments, and made the days enjoyable and interactive.
