Case Study

Copenhagen prioritizes pedestrian access through streets like Stroget. Stroget is a 3,500 foot long pedestrian street located in the city center. In 1962, Stroget converted most of its main shopping streets to pedestrian-only spaces. It features open squares for entertainment and dining, and the buildings provide wind protection for comfortable walking. Stroget brings together people from diverse backgrounds in a relaxing environment featuring historical architecture. Copenhagen also emphasizes bicycling, with half of central city workers biking in summer and 70% also biking in winter, despite rain or ice.

Many unique qualities allow Stroget to be a pedestrianized center.


What makes the street unique to the human eye are the open,
stopping squares for formal and informal entertainments and
restaurants or coffee shops, along with food stalls and attractions.

Also, the street physically provides comfort and protection since the
natural anatomy and configuration of buildings act as wind barriers.
One of the best things about Stroget is that the street is made for
everyone and is for all types of crowds.

It brings people from diverse backgrounds, cultures and
