Maybe invade Sweden and take back Skåneland for more space.
I know these take forever to make and a whole lot of research, also i wanna say that I appreciate the time and effort that it takes to make these.
6:15 is it expected to be coming in on truck? Normally this type of transport is done by ships. That's how you build fake islands in general.
A large percentage of non-subscriber viewers means your channel is growing and being recommended! It is still a good thing to go for a call for action though to pump up those numbers, as that would attract sponsors
one of the main points of this projects is to have a place to deposit soil from building projects in copenhagen like the metro. the trucks could take the soil to an alternative site south of the city, but the trip would be about 4 times as long, so this reduces road mileage of soil carrying trucks
The ultimate truth is one, if the government want to build affordable housing, it could have done it very easily on the vast majority of space that exist in the suburbs around CPH. Instead they want to create an environmental disaster, more traffic and pollution in the city, a huge waste of public money and a half-assed water barrier, just for the prestige and to attract and cater to the “needs” of rich investors. Very big disappointing steps from DK.
Have they considered taking parts of the English Eastern Seaboard? I think they are currently without a Duke, so their defense might not be up to par.
feedback: those blue/grey maps are hard to read and know which is land and which is water. Also you skipped over them a little quickly
This is the most Nordic approach to a mega project ever. Plan something huge, argue and quarrel about it for a few years. Draw up a plan when the debate has passed and people have forgotten about it. Give it decades of construction. Quarrel passively. Redraw the plans because it's been so long that the first plans are pretty much of no use. Start doing some "basic groundworks". Before you know it, 20 years have passed, billions have been spent and without you really giving it too much of a thought, something that slightly resembles the original plan is there. You just had more important things to worry about, like shortening the work week from 35 hrs to 30 and fighting to make the local council put up free charging stations for your car outside every building.

Small correction: The 600,000 inhabitants are only correct if you only count the municipality with the name of 'Copenhagen'. Within this is the separate municipality of Frederiksberg with another 100,000+ inhabitants, and normally around 500,000 inhabitants in the immediately surrounding municipalities are included too, reaching a total of approx 1.2 mio. people in the urban area of Copenhagen (with more in the entire metropolitan area).
You're pomping out content like crazy, love the vids and it takes a lot of effort. Really appreciate it!
It's a 15% increase of of current truck traffic from soil already heading to Amager atm, only instead of being dumped at a temporary site this is being put to permanent use, the soil comes from construction in Copenhagen
I'm amazed that I haven't heard about this before you shared it in this video
This might be interesting to know too (for some). The world's largest island reclaimed from the sea is called Flevoland and is located in the Netherlands. The 1st/northern part (of the reclaimed province of Flevoland) was finished during WW2 in 1942 and is called Noordoostpolder and is 458km2. The middle (East Flevoland) and southern (South Flevoland) parts were finished in 1957 and 1968: about 1.000km2. In 1986 Flevoland became the 12th province of the Netherlands. The capital is Lelystad (pop: about 80.000), the largest city is Almere (pop: about 220.000). Almere was mainly built in order to solve (a part of) Amsterdam's housing problem (which - by the way - still exists today and is bigger than ever). You can find dozens of videos about the reclaiming of Flevoland from the sea on Youtube. Another big project of reclaiming land from the sea was in Rotterdam: they extended the area for the Rotterdam port by another 40km2 (Maasvlakte 1) and 20km2 (Maasvlakte 2). Rotterdam was the largest port in the world until 2004 and still is (by far) the largest port in Europe). Check out Youtube for Maasvlakte and you'll see how far into the sea the port of Rotterdam has increased.
The amount of effort that goes into these videos is outstanding. Super impressive and interesting as always
0:45 "quite very far into the future" Lmao medieval cathedral builders have entered the chat.
They do stuff like this in other cities like Århus. The population here is growing quickly, yet most of the new developments are really expensive which puts pressure on already high housing costs.
Your channel should be shown in college clases; the videos touch complex subjects in a thorough yet easy to follow way. Thank you.
I've discovered your channel recently and I really appreciate what are you doing. Not only well-researched and objective but also presented in an interesting way. Keep up the good work 👍
