Copenhagen wants to build 9 artificial islands to house 'the European Silicon Valley.' Take a look at the plan.

The project's title, Holmene, fittingly translates to "the islets."

When finished, the islets will have enough office space for 380 companies, most of which will come from the tech industry.

Around 10.5 miles of land will be added to the coastline, bringing the estimated construction costs to around $480 million.

Not all islands will be built at once. To prepare for any financial setbacks, the architect wants to split the project into pieces as opposed to building one massive site.

The design includes small reefs that are off-limits to humans, creating a refuge for nature and wildlife.

If the project is approved, construction could begin by 2022. All nine islets are set to be finished by 2040.
