Formerly home to shipyards, Nordhavn is a district of Copenhagen that's now at the cutting edge of sustainability. In fact, the neighbourhood has become a veritable open-air laboratory in terms of urban planning, transportation and quality of urban life.

In fact, this neighbourhood, which is about three kilometers long, is now a hotspot for prime examples of green design and construction. Many cities could take inspiration from this project in the future to develop their own perfectly carbon-neutral districts.
