Copenhagen - a model of creativity and tolerance
Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, has set itself the goal of becoming the first zero-energy city in the world, as early as 2025. In order to meet this ambitious goal, the city invests effort in building a sustainable infrastructure, fostering a green economy, emphasizing education and awareness, active participation of residents and support for art and culture. Along with these moves, the city makes sure to promote social tolerance and inclusion, and the design of fascinating urban spaces, through which it was able to create an atmosphere where creativity and tolerance form a fertile ground for thriving environmental innovation.
Here are some of the key moves she made in each of these areas:
Social tolerance and inclusion: Copenhagen is known for its high levels of social equality and tolerance. This inclusive atmosphere is not limited only to personal freedoms but extends to other areas, encouraging diversity in thought and creativity. The city's policy welcomes immigrants and people from different cultural backgrounds and strengthens the creative pool.
Urban spaces that encourage creativity: Copenhagen's public spaces are often designed to encourage social interaction, creativity and sustainable co-living. Spaces like Superkilen Park demonstrate this, being a focus for community gatherings, art installations and green living.
This comprehensive, cohesive and inclusive approach makes Copenhagen a model for other cities aiming to foster creativity and environmental consciousness.
