A colorful new urban park has been completed in Denmark. The kilometer long park is located just north of Copenhagen city center. The press release describes the area as "one of the most ethnically diverse and socially challenged neighborhoods in Denmark."
The park is separated in to three areas. A large sporting green, a black and white themed square for playing chess or having lunch, and a stunning red orange zone for recreational or cultural activities. The park is populated by over a hundred cultural objects from around the world that reflect the diversity of the surrounding community. Beyond the integration of the cultural milieu surrounding the area the park is a stellar example of color usage in urban planning. The three spaces of the park are colored specifically for their intended usage. The sporting area is green for obvious reasons. But the other two spaces have intention and color psychology behind them.

In the black and white area there are sweeping lines painted on the ground reminiscent of traffic flow or topographical elevation patterns. This public space is designed to allow people to mix and mingle. Its a shared space in an area in need of lowering barriers. It is sparsely sprinkled with trees, benches, tables and includes a quirky childrens playground. There is an open spacious feel to the area and the neutral color palette allows the people to be the attraction.
The red orange space is filled with a high velocity patch work of color. From above the reds, oranges, and pinks seem to spill out over everything, catching buildings and bike paths and benches. It is a bright visual beacon surrounded by blues and grays. The color helps draw eyes toward the park and gives people an energy boost. A happy, creative, active space seems like just the thing this neighborhood needs. A park cannot fix all cultural disparities of course, but hopefully Superkilen will get residents interacting and more urban planners on the color train! It so beautiful we want one in San Francisco too!

This is my first time here. Great site, good reviews. In turn, I would like to recommend a good resource Real-Time Video Monitoring, Euristiq Approach . The task of the software team was to develop a cloud-based IoT solution that would optimize vehicle insurance policies. The project discovery phase showed more prospects for the client. With the data collected, the client could not only see the accidents or their precursors but implement preventive measures.
