Forestry Beyond Copenhagen

Copenhagen is a city that places a great deal of value on their green space. There is only so much room for natural green space within the city. Copenhagen is a small city and it does not take much time at all to reach an area where there is nothing at all but the beauty of the environment of the responsible authorities were very conscious of this when planning the expansion of Copenhagen.

The forest beyond the city and beyond the suburbs of Copenhagen is gorgeous. It is full of abundant plant life and indigenous wildlife although the flora outweighs the presence of Denmark’s fauna. I don’t view the preservation of these natural spaces as allowing the forest to take over the space left out of the urbanization plan do however  view it as a way to allow nature the chance to thrive and grow as it would have if there had been no human influences standing in its way.

If you take into account the five finger plan that illustrates Copenhagen’s desired future expansion, it is easy to see that there is so much valuable land in such close proximity to the city because that was what Copenhagers wanted and not just an accident. Every aspect of Danish green space has been extremely well planned and its execution extremely thoughtful and sympathetic to the Danish landscape. The integrity of the Danish landscape held more importance in the development of the five finger plan than the industrialization and convenience of Copenhagen’s urban expansion.
