Abstract

Amager Bakke (CopenHill) is an example of a modern architectural solution for a technical facility serving the city. Thanks to its additional recreational and educational functions (ski slope, climbing wall, green terraces, etc.), it constitutes a significant element of the urban fabric, enhancing its attractiveness. Accessibility studies of the facility demonstrated its good integration with the city’s public transport system (20/30 points). A strength is its good accessibility thanks to a network of bicycle paths (within 10 minutes of the city center), which is crucial to Copenhagen’s mobility plans. A weakness, however, is the lack of efficient multimodality due to the lack of a nearby metro station, which is problematic in such an intensively revitalized area as the district where Amager Bakke is located. From a circular economy perspective, CopenHill is the final element of waste neutralization coupled with energy recovery, which raises questions about the environmental sustainability of the incineration process and the need for its technical support in the absence of waste.
