Superkilen celebrates diversity in Copenhagen

Spaces See all

In the Nørrebro area just north of Copenhagen's city centre a new park is situated and it is called Superkilen. The park comprises three areas, The Red Square, The Black Market and The Green Park.

The park aims to support the diversity of local inhabitants by using globally-found objects which symbolise the home countries of those who live in the area.

The hope is that Superkilen can revitalize the area by giving it a global identity and unifying the inhabitants.
