In addition, the municipality will transform parts of the old industrial area at the harbor into an attractive area for commercial domiciles, at the same time as Havnetorvet is made attractive to the city's citizens when it comes to outdoor activities and café life.

The billion-dollar project is progressing slowly. The project emphasizes to such an extent that Esbjerg is a place that is moving a lot at the moment. Part of the vision is to create an environment that connects both the city center and the port area more closely. Thus, the nature experiences that the North Sea provides can be further utilized to create the framework for the city's citizens.
