Copenhagen's Climate-Resilient Block – Urban Renewal of the Future

The Climate-Resilient Block, located in the St. Kjelds Quarter in Østerbro, is a demonstration project for sustainable urban renewal of older buildings, pavements and courtyards.

Copenhagen’s Climate-Resilient Block is an initiative that promotes climate and the environment through improvements to homes, buildings, and the shared courtyard.

We host site visits in the Climate-Resilient Block. Please contact info@klimakvarter.dk to find out more about the possibilities of visiting the Climate-Resilient Block.

The Climate-Resilient Block is a collaboration between the local residents, the City of Copenhagen, the Danish Transport, Construction and Housing Agency, Henning Larsen Architects, Saint-Gobain and others.

Håndtering af regnvandet er omdrejningspunktet i den fælles gårdhave. Igennem hele gårdhaven løber en forsænket flade med varierende bredder, hvor regnvandet i gården opsamles og bruges til vaskemaskiner og toiletskyl i boligerne.

Gårdhaven bliver indrettet med forskellige zoner. Tæt på de enkelte ejendomme, vil der være mere private nærområder og andre steder i gården vil der være områder, der inviterer til større fællesskaber.

Den fælles gårdhave og fortovshaverne forventes at stå færdige i foråret 2022.

Plan drawing

Management of rainwater

The target is for 100% of all the rainwater on the plots of land in the block to be disconnected from the sewer system. This can be done in the following three ways:

  • Collection and re-use of rainwater from the courtyard for toilet flushing and from the roof for washing laundry.
  • Collection, evaluation and delaying in a ‘stream’ in the courtyard.
  • Absorption and percolation in beds and ‘green’ pavements.

 

LAR og LUR

Regnvand opsamling og brug

Strengths: 100% disconnection of rainwater from the sewer system will reduce the load imposed on the system in heavy and torrential rain. By re-using the water for toilet flushing and for washing laundry, great savings can be made in water, to the residents’ financial benefit and to the benefit of Copenhagen’s limited drinking water resources.

 

Weaknesses: Additional introduction of pipes for the rainwater
