I recently worked on a story about Copenhagen’s two squares Skt Kjelds Plads and Tåsinge Plads for Fluter Magazine. The two squares were the first projects in a big urban renovation project to protect Copenhagen against future floods. The squares now lead rain water into a carefully designed sewage system and have green areas to contain the water.
The project began after a big cloudburst in Copenhagen in 2011 which led to big floodings of the city. Now there are more than 400 renovation projects in the making in eight different municipalities in Denmark for 16 billion danish kroner. I photographed local life at the two square and Jan Rasmussen who was in charge of the renovation project at Copenhagen Municipality.
