Orestad was planned with the certainty that a solid backbone (the raised Metro) and an adjoining natural protected ecosystem (Amager Fælled) was enough to ensure success. The designers forgot that it is in the space between the housing blocks that an urban extension succeeds or fails. We cover this project which try to solve a posteriori and with a low budget the failings of the initial urban plan.

One of the strategies identified in the project is to use the debris produced by the excavations in the nearby construction sites to alter topography and provide the park with sheltered areas, belvederes and slopes.
