Many urban spaces in the world are so unique and leave us speechless.
With the help of satellites and aerial photography, we can see their beauty and realize how carefully buildings are laid out in the areas. One of such captivating sights is Brøndby Haveby or Brøndby Garden City. Located just outside Copenhagen, Denmark, this ‘garden city’ is a place of many community gardens that are known for their unique circular arrangement.
The houses situated in Brøndby Haveby have large yards that provide a retreat from the noisy and densely populated city and you can also enjoy the hobby of growing plants and crops.
The idea of ‘garden city’ was approved in 1964 when the municipality of Brøndby agreed to dedicated space for allotments, thus the mesmerizing circles started to pop up in the area.
The idea behind these circles is to increase social interaction among those who rent the gardens.
The gardens were made by photographers such as Henry Do who stumbled upon this captivating area.
Look at the pictures!

Here is what some people are saying, or should I say ‘criticizing’, about this community.point 197 | point 199 | 1
“Neat Looking…but it would be terrible on grocery day or moving day.”
“No garages. And who mows the grass outside the circles?”
“I’d prefer the road on the outside of the circle so my neighbors and I could interact more. “
“This is not real houses, its a “garden house” for people who live in flats to have a place to garden.”
“Visually appealing, but very poor use of space, you could fit way more buildings if you went square and still have room for parks.”
“It is cool looking, but it also has a sort of Stepford Wife feel to it… check for very large bean pods… “
