About us

Making Ørestad Syd feel like home.

From strangers to neighbors — we are building the community we want to live in.

Our story

Nabo to Nabo started with a simple observation between friends: we live in a beautiful place, but we miss the spontaneous connections that turn a housing block into a real neighborhood.

Instead of waiting for someone else to create that culture, we decided to do it ourselves. We exist to turn good ideas into local action — a long-table dinner, a pop-up concert or a creative workshop.

We create excuses for you to meet the people living right next door.

What we do

From strangers
to neighbors.

We believe a neighborhood feels like home when you know the people around you. So we turn local ideas into reality — and create excuses for you to meet the people living right next door.

Community dinners

There is no better way to break the ice than breaking bread. We host regular dinners where the food is good and the company is even better.

Local support

Your idea, made real

Have an idea for the neighborhood? We help facilitate and support local initiatives to make them a reality.

Our mission

We believe everyone deserves to feel a sense of belonging where they live. By strengthening social ties and celebrating the diversity of our residents, we bridge the gap between just “living here” and truly “being at home.”

Who it’s for

Everything we do is for the people who live in Ørestad Syd. Some events suit families with young children, others adults or curious seniors — together they serve the whole neighborhood and reflect its diversity.

How it began

The idea was sparked by conversations between friends about what Ørestad Syd could be — city life, culture, local gathering spots. Having joined events by like-minded neighbors, we saw that a community-driven organization could bring people together and build the everyday culture that makes a place feel like home.
