On the outskirts of Copenhagen lies Br\u00f8ndby Garden City, also known as Circle City, characterized by the 284 allotments divided into 12 rotundas.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In 1964, Br\u00f8ndby municipality decided to reserve areas for allotment gardens. The garden architect Erik Mygind from the University of Copenhagen realized his idea of creating two garden areas in rotundas with hedges sloping inwards. The idea is based on the concept of Rundlingsd\u00f6rfer, where people met at the well in the center of the village and exchanged news. The hedges fall from 180 to 80 cm towards the middle, otherwise the plants in the center will not receive enough light. Streets with parking spaces lead into the center of these rotundas, from where access to the gardens takes place. Both rotunda areas are divided into 284 allotment gardens, which are located on the pie-like plots of the twelve rotundas. Each rotunda contains 24 plots, each with a garden house with a maximum size of 50 m\u00b2 – equipped with electricity, toilet and water supply – of around 400 m\u00b2 in size. Only those who live within a radius of 20 kilometers can become an owner. In later years, these original gardens were expanded in a traditional manner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
