Exterior view · Visualisation: Henning Larsen
The masterplan on the south bank of the canal connects across former barriers. Its first phase is woven into a lively city fabric open to everyone, around the clock.
In the Valley the whole ground floor is a public street, with retail along the Innovation Alley from the central plaza to the underpass at Gate 17, active in the evenings and at weekends.
