Superkilen is the seven-hundred-and-fifty-metre linear park BIG, Topotek 1 and Superflex designed in 2012 as an explicit celebration of immigrant Copenhagen — over a hundred objects from sixty-plus countries, picked to represent the home countries of the surrounding neighbourhood's residents. A Moroccan fountain, a Russian octopus slide, a Thai boxing ring, neon signs from Qatar and Iran and Texas. The park is a celebration; it's also a piece of urban anthropology.
Three kilometres, ninety minutes if you read every object label. Nørrebro S-tog is the entry. Walk south down Mimersgade and Den Røde Plads — the red square — opens with rust-red asphalt, sports courts and a sound system. The middle is Sort Marked (the Black Market), darker and quieter, designed for casual gathering. The north is Den Grønne Park — picnic lawns, undulating ground, an actual park.
Walk into Mjølnerparken next, the 1980s housing complex behind the park. The neighbourhood's been on the regeneration list for years; new buildings and renovations are visible. Back to Nørrebro S-tog via Mimersgade — the spine of immigrant Nørrebro, where the park earns its claim.
