We're getting a new island (blue) in Copenhagen and the government is ambitious, it'll be done in 2070.

Shame, all the existing artificial islands look pretty dreadful. And Copenhagen's cityscape will now be completely obscured from the sea.

The metro excavations and other build sites, they'll expand the island gradually until it's finished in 2070.

Probably, but the rich don't want to live west of Copenhagen, the other rich already living with a water view are going to be upset though. :hmm:

We know in Quebec you roll around the gentle green hills on your rolls of cheese, but in other parts of the world metros are needed.

Next year our 2nd line will open. :w00t: (The new island will get the 4th line.)

That is going to be very confusing for Copenhagen metro commuters. Better have a team of counsellors at the ready when the new line opens, just in case.

The entire rail map is getting a bit more complex these days.

I expect all European cities to have built endless metro in the 20th century.

We do, but that doesn't stop us from keep building more. Drill baby drill.
