Vejle (Denmark): marina islands for entertainment and leisure

To sustainably create an attractive waterfront, it’s essential to prioritise innovative architectural designs that harmonise with natural elements, such as those seen in the Fjordenhus project in Vejle Harbour. Collaborating with landscape architects and incorporating environmentally friendly materials, like glazed brickwork that interacts with weather and light reflections, can enhance the aesthetic appeal while minimising ecological impact. Additionally, integrating mixed-use spaces, such as restaurants, cafés, and office buildings, fosters a dynamic relationship between urban areas and waterfronts, promoting community engagement and economic vitality.

This good practice also includes objective 8.3 (Developing public spaces and recreational or cultural amenities in City Port interface zones to create an appealing new area) of the AIVP’s 2030 Agenda.
