Denmark: Is the man-made island of Lynetteholm damaging the Baltic Sea? – Politics

Of

Kai Strittmatter, Copenhagen

Lynetteholm. When then Prime Minister Lars Løkke Rasmussen presented his bold plan to the Danes in the Hall of Mirrors at Christiansborg Palace in October 2018, he pronounced the name almost reverently. Lynetteholm: a new island, man-made. Raised from the sea thanks to the energy of Danish politicians. Protection and soon home for the citizens of Copenhagen. A bulwark against the storm surges of the future, apartments and jobs for 35,000 citizens, when construction ends in 2070, then also a subway connection.
