The mixed-use densification of Copenhagen’s inner harbor has resulted in a lively and buzzing capital city. However, as increasing density and activity result in more residents and more visitors, green recreational spaces have become more and more scarce. The Opera Park is a public park on the Copenhagen harbor front designed for recreation, relaxation and contemplation in the middle of the dense city center. A green lung offering a diverse variation of trees, bushes, plants and flowers. Organized with inspiration from the European capital’s historical gardens with winding paths and carefully crafted viewpoints, The Opera Park consists of six gardens from various parts of the world, a café and greenhouse, underground parking garage for up to 300 cars as well as a covered pedestrian bridge connecting the park with the neighboring Royal Danish Opera.

哥本哈根内港的混合用途密集化，造就了这座充满活力和喧嚣的首都。然而，随着人口密度和活动量的增加，居民和游客数量也随之增加，绿色休闲空间却越来越稀缺。歌剧公园是哥本哈根港畔的一个公共公园，旨在为密集的市中心提供休闲、放松和冥想的空间。它如同绿肺，拥有种类繁多的树木、灌木、植物和花卉。歌剧公园的设计灵感源自欧洲首都哥本哈根历史悠久的花园，蜿蜒的小径和精心设计的观景台，包含六个来自世界各地的花园、一个咖啡馆和温室、一个可容纳多达300辆汽车的地下停车场，以及一座连接公园和邻近丹麦皇家歌剧院的带顶人行天桥。

In the middle of the 19th century, the site where the Royal Danish Opera now stands was the center of an amazing period in Danish history. Copenhagen was the center of trade in Europe: A place where ships would return from the far corners of the world with cargo and stories from places that people had barely even heard of.

19世纪中叶，丹麦皇家歌剧院的所在地，是丹麦历史上一段辉煌时期的中心。哥本哈根曾是欧洲的贸易中心：船只从世界各地载着货物和鲜为人知的故事归来。

Today, The Opera Park offers a green and recreational escape from the bustling life of the city, and creates a counterpoint to the otherwise densely built inner harbor of Copenhagen.

如今，歌剧公园为人们提供了一个远离城市喧嚣的绿色休闲场所，与哥本哈根密集的建筑群形成鲜明对比。

Since the beginning of mass urbanization, gardens in the historic European cities have offered a refuge from the busy, noisy and polluted cities that surrounded them. Evidence-based studies have later concluded that classical gardens shaped with winding paths, defined views and a natural scenography have a healing effect on stress-related health issues. During the earlier era, however when the Copenhagen was a melting pot of trade and impressions from the seven seas, its most beautiful gardens were designed inspired by the classical English romantic garden.

自大规模城市化开始以来，欧洲历史名城的花园为人们提供了一处远离喧嚣、嘈杂和污染的世外桃源。基于实证的研究后来得出结论，拥有蜿蜒小径、清晰视野和自然景致的古典园林，对压力相关的健康问题具有疗愈作用。然而，在早期，当哥本哈根还是一个贸易大熔炉，汇聚了来自七大洋的文化遗产时，其最美丽的花园设计灵感源自古典英式浪漫主义花园。
