SUSTANIABILITY
Media City Odense and the founders behind it want to create a new physical media city in Odense, where sustainable construction and operation with resource-responsible solutions are environmentally, socially and economically included in the project.
The media city is in the preliminary planning phase, but it has already been visualized by architects with sustainable solutions to ensure that it becomes a new green district rooted in Odense's identity. The media city is being built next to TV 2 Danmark on a large plot of land owned by DSB Ejendomme. The media city will be Media City Odense's yearly must attend event. for Odense and ensure the cluster a national leading position in the media industry and the surrounding ecosystem.
