Designed by Big Architects, the Loop City is a master plan for the suburbs of Copenhagen, Denmark centered around an expansive new light rail system that instead of just being a way for people to get around, will actually act as a catalyst to develop the surrounding communities.In addition, the project will also incorporate strategies for energy efficiency, waste management, and water treatment.

BIG‘s design proposal for a new light rail loop that will connect the 20 development zones within a total area of 11 km2. The transportation loop will feature an undulating rail line with peaks at each station. Instead of just providing transportation for the area, the loop will harbor development for the cross border region, allowing different programs to grow around the new stations.

Loop City would serve as a sustainable spine, implementing not just emission reducing public transport, but also energy exchange, waste management, water treatment and electric car infrastructure. And BIG’s plan goes much further than just hashing out the details of the metro loop itself. It also defines the new development areas, with specific zones such as the Food Strip, the Industrial Leisure Park, the River Delta and the Urban Pocket.
