The new buildings placed around Karen Blixen Park at the Ørestad City.
 
Ørestad City
The new Ørestad areas on the isle of Amager was appointed to be the former city district in 1993 and the plan was to build and develop a mini metropolis outside of Copenhagen for 20,000 to 30,000 residences and expected 65,000 working in this part of town - when the Ørestad finally is established.
 
The Masterplan
In 1997 a master-plan for the new urban area was presented dividing the area into four districts. Since the turn of the millennium - a vast number of buildings have been built - including more than thousands of flats - buildings for educational use - hotels - shopping centers and mall - retail stores - the Ørestad College - the new IT University of Copenhagen and University of Copenhagen's Southern Campus covering the whole of Ørestad area. Many new buildings and architectural highlights are under construction together with the building of the Ørestad Business Center. The total area of Ørestad is 3.2 km² and about 600 metres wide and 5 km long. The four districts are - Ørestad Nord - Amager Fælled kvarteret - Ørestad City and Ørestad Syd.

DR-Town and the new Koncerthus (Concert Hall)
The headquarter of Danish National Broadcasting Corporation (DR) - Denmark’s Radio - is situated at the Ørestad areas – where all the employees were moved from the inner city of Copenhagen to their new premises. The innovative Koncerthus (Concert Hall) with its blue frontage is a new national and international concert venue for Denmark and for music loving concertgoers too.
