Copenhagen Light Rail is a retake on the planned rail for Copenhagen in 2035. The project shows how the rail can be integrated into car-free streets, enhance the aesthetic qualities of local areas, and make the interior feel inclusive for all passengers. The individual carriages can be turned into mobile healthcare clinics or pop-up shops that are parked at the rail stops. A new type of social and cultural infrastructure that can circulate experiences and goods from each district for a more equal accessible Copenhagen. The train is designed in a modular system, with a local urban look and local manufacturing style. Replacing the need for foreign readymade solutions with something that suits the city and small-scale production. The interior offers seats for singles or couples. A collective bench of flip-up seats makes the entire train into a flex area where bicycles, groups, and wheelchairs can sit like anyone else.
