    Brøndby Garden City, Located Just Outside Copenhagen, Denmark

    Aerial view of unique circular housing communities showcasing innovative architecture in Denmark, a country like no other.

    While visiting the beautiful capital city of Copenhagen in Denmark, I encountered what seems like an alien civilization. To my surprise, these are just small piece of what called, "Colony Gardens", literally a garden space that Danish citizens can rent to grow produces & vegetables. Space is extremely limited if you're living the main city so this is the perfect way to have your own gardens & get back to nature! Owners are allowed to live there between April-October to take care of their gardens (can't grow anything in the winter).

    What a unique way of contributing to a better planet. Way to go Danes.
