Christiania, Copenhagen’s hippie oasis, wants to rebuild without its illegal hashish market

The now-aging hippies who took over a derelict naval base in Copenhagen more than 50 years ago and turned it into a freewheeling community known as Christiania want to boot out criminals who control the community's lucrative market for hashish by ripping up the cobblestoned street where it openly changes hands.

And after more than four decades of locking horns with authorities, they were given control over their homes in 2011, when the state sold the 84-acre enclave for 125.4 million kroner to a foundation owned by its inhabitants. Currently, nearly 800 adults and about 200 children live there, according to Prag, with up to 25% of the residents above the age of 60. The following year, it was decided to erect public housing for up to 300 people. Construction is expected to start in 2027.
