The Albertslund South neighbourhod

Facts

One of the '60s greatest hits

By Vibeke Andersson Møller (16 stories)

The Albertslund South neighbourhood was built between 1963 and 1968 by the architects Fællestegnestuen and became one of the decade’s greatest housing hits. Housing in the development is centred on the canal running through it. The main road follows the canal and is overlooked by three-storey housing blocks. Extending out from both sides of this main thoroughfare are developments of either one-storey atrium houses or two-storey terraced housing. A 1961 government directive mandated that the buildings were to be constructed of concrete modules. The area is peppered with childcare facilities, and a shopping centre was built at one end, close to the commuter rail station. Car and foot traffic were completely separated, as leading 1960s thinking dictated.
