Concrete Hills Conceal Bicycle Racks in Copenhagen Public Plaza

Karen Blixens Plads in Copenhagen is an undulating plaza with sheltered parking for over 2,000 bicycles designed by Danish architecture firm COBE.

The 20,000-square-metre public park is situated between the University of Copenhagen and Amager Common, an area of wetlands, fields and lakes just outside of the city.Named for noted 19th-century Danish author Karen Blixen, the square is one of the largest in the city.

In total Karen Blixens Plads provides parking for more than 2,000 bicycles for the university’s students and staff.Alongside Amsterdam, the Danish capital is considered one of the most bike-friendly cities in the world, with more than 40 per cent of its population commuting to work on bicycles.
