Light rail on Frederikssundsvej
Frederikssundsvej, Denmark

Gottlieb Paludan Architects has carried out a feasibility study for Metroselskabet in connection with a new light rail on Frederikssundsvej. The feasibility study includes input for alignments and bridges as well as visualizations of urban spaces.

Increased pressure on traffic creates a need for new traffic solutions. The City of Copenhagen wants a new metro from Refshaleøen to Brønshøj via the main line. This solution is expensive, so other alternatives are being sought. Gottlieb Paludan has carried out a feasibility study for a light rail between Nørrebro and Gladsaxe via Frederikssundvej.

Visualizations and urban impact

The feasibility study includes studies of different alignments, bridges and a number of visualizations that show how the light rail will affect the surrounding urban spaces and describes at selected locations the interventions that are necessary in connection with the construction of the light rail. In addition, a proposal for the interior of the light rail cars is shown and described. Gottlieb Paludan has had special responsibility for the preparation of visualizations of the future scenarios based on dialogue with the City of Copenhagen and Metroselskabet The feasibility study will form the basis for further political processing.

Everyone should be able to move through our shared public spaces and buildings in a safe and dignified way. In complex environments such as stations, terminals, and other public transport hubs, universal design is not just a feature – it’s a fundamental design principle that ensures equal access and high functionality for all, regardless of physical or cognitive ability.

Udforsk

Our cities and landscapes must accommodate a wide range of functions, interests, and concerns – from urban development and infrastructure to nature conservation and climate adaptation. This places high demands on the prioritization, planning, and siting of new developments and structures. Urban and landscape analyses provide a comprehensive overview of physical, regulatory, and contextual conditions and form a critical basis for decision-making in the early project stages.
