“The “Finger Plan” from 1947 was a pioneering attempt to locate the urban development of Copenhagen along five radials or “fingers” which connected the centre of the city with five older market towns in the region. The vision was that green wedges or corridors should dominate the space between the fingers which was characterised by transport and urban structures. The green corridors had a double function; they were partly to function as the lungs of Copenhagen and partly to function as green recreational spaces for the people living in the compact city districts of Copenhagen (Ferdinansen, 2002, p. 80-83).”
