What you can’t do to bring neighbors together: Nerum’s calling card, Sorensen’s great suggestion.

Art is very significant in Denmark. Anderson, as well as the “Little Book of Happiness,” were both born in its wide areas.

Special consideration should be given to the architecture. A little region named Nerum, not far from the capital, has forty-odd oval-shaped parcels. Sorensen, who was influenced by modernism, intended to design something spectacular so that the geometric forms could be seen from above. Instead of an oval grid, a haphazard bunch of circles emerged, yet it had its own beauty.

Each patio is uniquely designed. Buyers were permitted to construct anything from a garden to a vegetable plot.

The bushes that embellish each entrance provide a touch of elegance to its design. The lack of highways, though, is the masterpiece’s greatest appeal.

When house owners come home from work, they leave their iron horses outside the neighborhood. As a result, they spend more time outside and socializing with their neighbors.
