With the vision of bringing the city’s social and biological life closer to the city center, the 150,000 m2 project will ensure a vibrant, climate-adapted, and safe urban environment for all. The project has a total budget of DKK 71 million and is part of Fredensborg Municipality’s 0.5 billion investment in the vision for the Future Nivå City Center — also including ‘Generationernes Hus.’

The nature of Nivå will be brought closer to the city center

SLA and NIRAS won the task with a strong vision of bringing the experience of Nivå’s nature into the city center and creating good opportunities for both urban life, retail, and wildlife.

“Our vision is to turn the worn-down city center into a safe and vibrant place with a strong social community and an attractive retail environment. To achieve this we will, among other initiatives, create an eventful, new city nature inspired by the clay pit ponds, the lush valleys, and the dynamic coastline that surrounds Nivå. With a new Nivå-inspired city nature, we can simultaneously future-proof the city center with nature-based climate adaptation and strengthen the local biodiversity,” says Mette Skjold, partner and CEO in SLA.
