Urban Development

New settlements are emerging on the periphery of cities or replacing end-of-life business areas. In some places, brand new cities are built on green field sites. We create the foundation for development by combining expertise in urban planning with a wide range of skills in construction, infrastructure, environment and sustainability. The areas we work in include land development, to prepare undeveloped sites for building.

The transformation of Musikhusparken

The transformation of Musikhusparken in Aarhus will create an attractive green area in the middle of the city that connects cultural institutions and improves the city’s traffic connections.
In collaboration with Schønherr, Habitats and the artist Morten Stræde, Artelia contributes to creating a meeting point for the city’s guests. The project will, among other things, include the ARoS Gardens, a new ice rink, playground and the artwork ‘Vandkunsten’.
Traffic and rainwater management are essential parts of the project, which is expected to be completed during 2025.

Development plan for Stejlepladsen

The development plan for the 5.2 hectare area is precisely based on the site’s self-grown diversity.

Services  Artelia has taken part in project development of the area from competition to district plan. Among these, we have carried out a sustainability assessment aiming for the development to achieve DGNB Gold. Alternative energy strategies are highlighted and a proposal for the establishment of a seawater heat exchanger is incorporated.
Furthermore, Artelia has carried out wind simulations, daylighting calculations, noise calculations and given recommendations on fire conditions and on building technical principles for modular construction in wood/CLT.

Esbjerg Beach

By Esbjerg beach a new urban space with a marina will, in the future, become the centre of maritime leisure activities. In addition to the marina, rowing and kayaking facilities, bathing facilities, clubhouses, a habour school, urban areas and excursion spots are being build.

The vision is furthermore, that Esbjerg Beach will have a high-profile business area where new office buildings can lay in close contact with the sea and the marina.
