TY - JOUR TI - Role of waterfront areas and pocket parks in shaping of housing environment on the example of the Nordhavnen Housing Estate in Copenhagen AU - Poklewski-Koziełł, Damian TI - Role of waterfront areas and pocket parks in shaping of housing environment on the example of the Nordhavnen Housing Estate in Copenhagen AB - The goal of the article is the presentation of one of the largest city expansion projects that are currently being executed in Scandinavia, known as Nordhavnen in Copenhagen. The article will familiarise readers with the basic conceptual assump­tions and design strategies that were adopted by the authors of its design, as well as the practical urban planning tools that correspond to them. The article will also explore how the implementation of the conceptual assumptions looks like in practice, with a specific emphasis on green areas—pocket parks and so-called edge zones—and those close to water—wa­terfronts. Basic data concerning various types of surface area in the context of their impact and role in creating the aforemen­tioned spaces were analysed.
