Städte am Meer

Copenhagen is 'the little one' among Europe's capitals. The former fishing village on the Öresund has grown into a metropolis with vision in recent decades. No other city is preparing its green future as consistently as Copenhagen. Copenhageners live progress and creativity in a relaxed and unagitated way. The documentary paints a multi-faceted picture of the Danish capital, which translates as 'merchant's port'. Since the 1950s, Copenhagen's city planners have had quality of life in mind and have tried to push the car out of the city centre. Today, Denmark's capital is one thing above all: a bicycle city. Of almost 600,000 inhabitants, almost every second Copenhagener rides to work by bike.
