Climate Adaption Kokkedal is a large-scale urban project with the goal of climate-proofing, renovating and improving the neighborhood, which had issues with frequent flooding and social unrest—characterized by crime, insecurity, and conflict zones scattered throughout the area. The 69-ha area in Kokkedal borders the Usserød River and consequently suffered severe flooding in recent years. The area encompasses a school, a daycare, a nursing home, an undeveloped floodplain area, and many apartment buildings including two large, subsidized housing complexes. The project's purpose was twofold: to store floodwater and increase the surface delay of rainwater - while improving urban life.
