Amager Beachpark

This guide to Amager Beachpark traces a century of Copenhagen trucking in fresh sand each autumn only to watch the sea swallow it again, and the moment planners abandoned that fight for something new. It follows the landscape architects and engineers who built an entirely artificial island offshore between 2004 and 2005, and the trick behind where they chose to place it. Listen with the sheltered lagoon in view, between the old shore and the new island.
