Over the next three to four decades, current harbor (Nyhavna) activities are due to be relocated in stages, leaving new and central areas open for development. Strandveikaia is the important first step in a gradual transformation of the harbor into a contemporary neighborhood where living, working, culture, leisure and education can perfectly coexist. In our strategic plan we emphasize the role of the individual initiatives and ideas in this area. For any cohesive and sustainable development it is necessary that these initiatives are able to connect with and find their ‘natural habitat’ within the framework. Our proposal illustrates the potential of the area as a whole, extrapolating the cohesive effects of current initiatives in the harbor, but is not per definition showing the desired end result.
