In Malmö, the third largest city in Sweden, the famous Twisting Torso skyscraper, the tallest tower in Scandinavia and the second tallest tower in Europe, is a symbol of a new destination for a group of northern ports that until recently had been deserted and now look to the future. .
Built in front of Copenhagen on the shore of the Oresand Strait, the 190-meter-tall, 54-storey building in 2005 is built on 27,000 square meters in the new residential area that covers the harbor, which once stretched across the entire west of the city.
"I am the daughter of a fisherman and I come from the city," Louise Lundberg, an environmental activist, told African journalists on a trip to Scandinavia under the UNFCCC COP-22 conference on climate change. A long and arduous structure carried out by Malmö since the nineties of the last century after the closure of many industrial units. "
Malmö, with a population of 350,000, 30 per cent of whom are foreign nationals, and whose ports were exported from cars and textile products, has been renewed with a new, non-compromising approach to environmental protection, Lundberg said, pointing fingers to the excellent dam and basins. Clean, shaded streets, rainwater harvesting channels and innumerable green terraces called rooftops.
"This region, where the standard of living is higher than the rest of Malmö, will henceforth have its own energy and waste collection system, and organic parts are used to produce biogas and burn the rest for heating and electricity production," she said.
The region, which is equipped with a renewable energy system, can provide 6,200 MW of heating per year, 3000 MW of air conditioning and 6300 MW of electricity. Residents prefer to use bicycles when they do not park their cars elsewhere, Roofs "on 1,400 square meters of solar panels, which meet 15 per cent of the heating needs.
The same commitment and the same application on the other side of the Strait of Oresund, where there is bridge is one of the first in the world that connects, over about 8 kilometers, through two railways and four car routes, Malmö, Copenhagen.
Here, during the 30-minute crossing of the Baltic Sea by train, along a natural stretch of land, the impressive wind farm of Lilligrude, equipped with 48 turbines on a 7-kilometer (110-megawatt) surface, forms the world's largest wind farm.
In this series, the Danish capital, which aspires to become carbon dioxide-free by 2025, is working on the completion of the Nordhoven Ecological and Harbor Project.
The 3.5 million square meter project is expected to house 40,000 people and provide many job opportunities, according to the most innovative urban standards in terms of sustainability.
Ten years after its launch in northern Copenhagen, the project highlights its features and offers the opportunity to see new brand buildings, skyscrapers, parking lots, bicycles, gardens, many relaxation areas, shopping spaces and sea-side crossings.
"For us, the idea is to make Nordhafen alive surrounded by water on three sides, a small island area where green enclaves, parks, sidewalks, entertainment and sports spaces, shopping and water-related shopping centers are the first and last points for the population," said one attendant.
In order to preserve the memory of the water, the old warehouses and others, the property of the fishermen has been renewed and others have been rebuilt using the same old materials, while the cruise station completes the scene.
"We have a population of 1.2 million to meet the housing needs of 80,000 people by the year 2025," said Ever Hoi Nielsen, the information officer of Stat of Green, a public-private partnership ground. Cent.
When the curtain falls on Malmö and a twinkle emerges from afar, the torch-stricken Danish capital, as if it is restoring respect to its neighbor, takes on the strange cordage of Liligrund.
The effects, discovered in 1960, dating back to 9000 BC, do not show that since this glacial period, the two shores were not closer together?
