Hi, I’m Mira, and I offer guided tours and professional excursions for sustainability delegations focusing on sustainable architecture, sustainable urban planning, and community building in Copenhagen’s newest urban neighborhoods such as Nordhavn (Northern Harbour), Ørestad, Carlsberg City, Sydhavn (Southern Harbour), Grønttorvet, Paper Island and more.

Together with my team we love to introduce visitors to the emerging neighborhoods on the city’s edge, where vibrant communities and circular living are taking shape.

Together, we explore questions around:

• Sustainable and regenerative urban living

• Recycled architecture and circular building practices

• Urban life, social infrastructure, and the human scale

• Copenhagen's green transition and “The Copenhagen Model”

The tours are always interactive and based on open dialogue. We enjoy discussing urban development with participants — whether you're an architect, real estater, developer, policymaker, or an architecture enthusiast and we have done so with more than 400 delegations.

🏙️ Local Knowledge Meets Professional Insight

In our research and tours, we speak with residents and first movers about their daily experiences in new neighborhoods. What works, what doesn’t, and what makes a place feel like home?

For larger groups or multiple bookings, I collaborate with a network of skilled local guides within the expertise on the built environment in Copenhagen — ensuring a seamless and engaging experience.

👥 Who Joins the Tours?

Most of our guests come from the construction and planning industry from all over the world:

• Architecture companies

• Urban planners, developers and ingenieurs

• Real estate professionals and investors

• Municipal delegations and sustainability experts

• Universities and highschools

We also warmly welcome private groups and architecture tourists looking for a more personal and curated experience of Copenhagen’s built environment.

🌍 Multilingual Tours

We guide fluently in Danish, English, and German.
French guests are very welcome too — feel free to ask in French, and we’ll respond in our best charming blend of French and English 😉

🎓 About MIRA M Cordsen

I hold a master’s degree from Roskilde University in Art History, Experience Design, and Danish Linguistics, with a focus on how site-specific cultural events can support urban development.
In 2012, I founded Experience Copenhagen – Architecture Tours, and since then I’ve guided hundreds of groups through Copenhagen’s most exciting urban transformations.

🏡 Urban Living in Ørestad

I live in Ørestad, one of the city’s most ambitious new districts — surrounded by architecture, nature, and pioneering energy. I’m also a mom of a curious 8-year-old, a dog lover and an entrepreneur. When I’m not guiding, my daughters and I enjoy the city’s performance scene and swimming in the harbor.

🌱 Rooftop Farming Project – “Asgers Have”

I'm currently co-developing Asgers Have, a 3,500 m² rooftop farm on top of a parking garage in Ørestad. The space will include:

• Urban farming and permaculture

• Learning facilities for school classes

• Green public areas for the local community

• A model for sustainable, food-producing architecture in the city
