Shaping the Future of Sport Infrastructure: Sports Lab Copenhagen takes center stage at “Les équipements sportifs de demain” in Paris,

🔍 How can cities better design, repurpose, and activate sports facilities to meet the needs of tomorrow?

Proud to join this essential conversation at the invitation of the Ministère des Sports, de la Jeunesse et de la Vie associative (French Ministry of Sports, Youth and Social life) during the national event “Les équipements sportifs de demain” (Tomorrow's Sports Equipment) in Paris.

At Sports Lab Copenhagen, we shared how Denmark—and especially Copenhagen—has blended sport, urban design, and public health into daily life. Through bold architecture, smart public policy, and community engagement, the city has reimagined how, where, and why people move.

Some of the examples were:

🏔 CopenHill – A hybrid waste-to-energy plant and sports facility with a year-round ski slope, hiking trail, and Europe’s tallest outdoor climbing wall.

🤸 @Konditaget Lüders – A rooftop fitness park atop a parking garage, open to all, with sweeping harbour views.

🏟 Hafnia-Hallen – A flexible indoor sports hub for both elite athletes and grassroots communities—a catalyst of social life.

🏀 GAME – An NGO turning underused buildings into street sport hubs for youth and underserved groups.

🎨 🥊 👟 @Superkilen Park – A co-designed public space blending sport, art, and culture in one of Copenhagen’s most diverse neighbourhoods.

Merci to the Ministère des Sports, de la Jeunesse et de la Vie associative, to Pôle Ressources National Sport-Innovations (PRNSI), and to Agence nationale du Sport for the opportunity to exchange ideas, challenges, and solutions across borders. Cross-European dialogue like this is key to building more active, inclusive, and resilient cities. 🇩🇰🇫🇷
