We are very happy to have been chosen to develop the vision plan for Haraldsgadekvarteret and create design concepts for Lersø Parkallé and Sifs Plads in collaboration with Artelia Denmark.

Last week, we joined Københavns Kommune and local working groups on a walk through the neighbourhood, where residents and stakeholders shared valuable insights and aspirations for the area. EFFEKT partner Tina Lund Højgaard expressed her enthusiasm for taking a holistic approach to the neighbourhood:

"This neighborhood is alive with contrasts and diversity—a place where past and present intersect to create a unique sense of identity. Its broad, partially desolate streets present a challenge but also hold tremendous potential. They can transform into green, light-filled urban spaces that celebrate the community’s vibrant activities and connections."

She highlighted the importance of collaboration and aligning ongoing projects with future ones to unlock the neighbourhood’s full potential. Building on tools like EFFEKT’s development compass for Frederiksberg Hospital, we aim to foster open-source knowledge sharing and establish a benchmark for future large-scale urban transformations.

EFFEKT’s Head of Landscape, Virginie Le Goffic, shared her vision for enhancing urban nature in the area:

"With Lersø Parkallé and Sifs Plads, we have a unique opportunity to craft a new recreational link between Fælledparken and Utterslev Mose—a dynamic green corridor that serves as a lively meeting spot for both Haraldsgadekvarteret and all of Copenhagen.”
