Architecture for the city.
Copenhagen has been officially designated as the UNESCO-UIA World Capital of Architecture for 2023.
“The city designated as World Capital of Architecture will become a global forum for discussion on the pressing challenges of our world, through the prisms of culture, heritage, urban planning and architecture. Through this initiative, UNESCO and the UIA are joining forces to develop urban solutions for the benefit of future generations through culture.”
Copenhagen will use the title World Capital of Architecture to discuss and celebrate the city’s architectural past and future, highlighting innovative solutions for resilience, livability, and sustainability.
A short drive outside central Copenhagen is the Protestant ‘Grundtvig’s Church,’ a monumental Gothic-style church built in the 1920s and ’30s. To this day, it remains a unique example of expressionist architecture.
