New plan
- Copenhagen’s Superkilen park, a prominent attraction in Nørrebro, received no funding in the city’s budget agreement for next year.
- The park has featured in travel guides and is among the first sights some visitors encounter after arriving at Copenhagen Airport.
- The lack of money leaves the worn-down park without the repairs highlighted in the headline.
Superkilen, the award-winning urban park in Copenhagen’s Nørrebro district, has become a familiar image of the Danish capital for visitors arriving at the city’s airport.
The park appears in travel guides and draws tourists to Nørrebro. But its condition has deteriorated, and the city now faces a problem: Copenhagen’s political parties included no money for Superkilen in the budget agreement reached on Thursday for next year.
The headline quotes the reaction, “We are disappointed,” as the park remains without funding to address the damage.
