Used by the military as a training grounds and shooting range from the 1700s up until the 1950s, it became a garbage dump afterwards, an old tradition on Amager, which Copenhageners like to joke about (lorteøen - shit island). In spite of this history, today Amagerfælled presents as a rare example of relatively untouched nature in Copenhagen, ironically situated to a large part on artificially reclaimed land.

Both bridges (Cykelslangen and Bryggebroen) together were the first of the new harbor crossings that are built exclusively for cyclists.

Enghavepark was built in the late 1920s on the site of former allotment gardens. Laid out in the neoclassical style, it features a bandstand, a playground and fields for various sports.

The historic meatpacking district Kødbyen was planned by the city in order to create more sanitary and healthier conditions for the meat business in a rapidly growing city.

-
Israel’s SquareIsraels Plads with the adjacent Torvehallerne is today a meeting point for CPH foodies. There has been a farmer’s market here since the strict no building policy of the walled city ended in the 1890s until the 1950s. Then the entire area became a huge parking lot.
-
OerstedsparkenØrsteds Park is an early example of reuse: Once part of the city’s defenses outside the walls, the area was transformed into a park after the city wall was demolished, retaining parts of the former moat as a lake inside the park with dramatic hills and crooked paths.
