On “Future Cities” this month, Richard Quest (pictured) ventures on two wheels for a whistle-stop tour of Copenhagen’s sustainable efforts, from roller coasters powered by wind to the city’s cycle- friendly streets and carbon-neutral hotels. Copenhagen is already topping the global charts for liveability and sustainability, and phase two seems to be underway. They’re so good at making the city liveable that ‘Copenhagenisation’ has become a celebrated style of urban planning. Now the city is working towards becoming the world’s first carbon neutral capital by 2025, a goal demanding a new, fully comprehensive approach to sustainable solutions. HRH Crown Prince Frederik invites Richard into his home, for an inside glimpse at his own efforts to modernise the palace, filling it with modern and sustainable furnishings.
