AMAGER COMMONS QUARTER
URBAN ISLANDS
A blue-green delta landscape, like rivers flowing between characterful housing islands, and a loop for social activity, are the main elements of a proposal for a master plan for Amager Fælled Kvarter (Amager Commons Quarter) putting everyday life, nature and social fellowships at the centre. It sets the stage for the Commons’ unique nature as a shared recreational resource and the social grouting interconnecting the urban quarter’s sustainable city life. Community, activity and urban life in the middle of nature. URBAN AGENCY’s proposal for a new master plan for Amager Fælled Kvarter will preserve the special nature resources and recreational function of the area. The Metro just around the corner will be the basis for a new urban space where Copenhageners can meet and live. A key aspect of the proposal has been to maintain Amager Fælled’s unique natural environment and special qualities, in order to make the area an attractive residential and urban quarter; maintaining everything for which Amager Fælled is appreciated for today.
