Task #2
Howdy,
I'd like to start this blog off with some interesting articles of the real estate market in Denmark. Real estate can be a lot of things - residential, industrial etc. Denmark has been widely recognized for it's position in architecture especially with regards to public buildings as well as innovative measures in public transportation. Let me give you an example of he latter and will return to the public buildings soon.
Automobile rides in Copenhagen is very expensive. The Danish government excise a 180% car-tax resulting in some of the most expensive cars in the world (e.g. a small Smart-car can be as much as $20.000). Also, pricy gas gives incentive for many people to ride their bicycles regularly. This has driven the council of Copenhagen to invest in a 35 million kroner ($7 mill) elevated bicycle lane for bikers to commute swiftly through Copenhagen. This article is in Danish (http://politiken.dk/indland/ECE2327966/et-aar-forsinket-endelig-faar-koebenhavnerne-cykelslangen/) but I will highlight the main points here:
The bicycle lane is called the Snake Bridge from the orange looked lane and the way it's curling through the canals in inner Copenhagen. The bridge has been on it's way for several years and is the first of it's kind in the world expected to help 10.000 travelers commute to inner Copenhagen every day.
I really like how the Danish government facilitate the use of environmental friendly transportation in a different but still esthetic way. I believe Denmark has many types of interesting pieces of real estate but this one stands out to me the most because it's not only beautiful real estate but it's useful at the same time.
