Gellerup


 

Gellerup is a large area of concrete flats built in the 1960s in Aarhus, Denmark. It was originally built to house all the workers in Aarhus, and was not meant to last more than 30 years. But the need for housing in Aarhus, explains why it is still here today, more than four decades after it was built.
