Responsibility
Travbyen will support the coming residents in taking joint responsibility for the climate, for nature and for each other. The development of the area will prioritise nature and biodiversity and work to lower the carbon footprint in construction and create the framework for a more climate-friendly lifestyle.
More responsible constructions
Travbyen's buildings will be constructed using materials that have a low climate impact compared to current industry standards. It can be natural materials or recycled materials. The houses must be of good quality, so that the buildings last a long time and can be used for different things over time.
With Travbyen, we would like to help raise the bar for how climate-friendly you can build. We will carry out experimental constructions that push to the limit of how low a carbon footprint can be achieved.
A more responsible everyday life
In Travbyen, it should be easy and fun to make more sustainable choices in everyday life. We prioritize pedestrians and cyclists over cars in the city's streets, and we support sharing schemes that make it easy to swap, borrow, and share common areas, guest rooms, toys, and much more.
We hope Travbyen becomes a place where people can learn about sustainable development and climate impact throughout the entire development process and once the district is completed.
Nature and biodiversity
In Travbyen, nature and people shall be able to thrive in balance. In the green heart in the middle of the area, there will be space for nature to unfold and by letting nature grow on roofs, facades and between houses, the natural biodiversity will be strengthened.
The neighborhood could also have space for kitchen gardens and small animal farms, which the residents can share, and in the wild green heart you may go on adventures, get lost or spend the night in a shelter.
