Christiania, freedom rules!
















Christiania, also known as Freetown Christiania, but most commonly known amongst its inhabitants and visitors as "fristaden" or simply "staden", is a partially self-governing neighbourhood of about 850 residents in the centre of Copenhagen. Christiania has established semi-legal status as an independent community.
Christiania's Mission Statement: "The objective of Christiania is to create a self-governing society whereby each and every individual holds themselves responsible over the wellbeing of the entire community. Our society is to be economically self-sustaining and, as such, our aspiration is to be steadfast in our conviction that psychological and physical destitution can be averted." The result of this is something I had never seen before, If Pippi Langkous would have made children this is where they would have lived, respect and freedom for the individual , a creative atmosphere and a relief in comparison with the upcoming Vinex neigboorhoods
