Sustainable Copenhagen
– Urbanistic problem-solving the fun way
How did Copenhagen turn bankruptcy and industrial down-turn into a driver for creative urban solutions?
And why would anyone put a ski slope on top of a power plant?
With a rapidly growing urbanisation and climate changes, there are many challenges to be faced in urban development. Copenhagen seems to have found the formula for eye-opening and multiple agenda solutions with a socially inclusive, yet playful approach. The notion of the good life goes beyond luxury and puts people first.
In this session, we show and discuss unique urban projects in Copenhagen, that focus on creating a city for the many, where sustainable solutions and a good life is possible for all.
The session includes an interactive elaborate Q&A with your two speakers.
Your session hosts are:
Alice Lempel Søndergaard
Alice has a degree in philosophy and modern culture and has worked with communication within urban planning at a strategic level.
She has a profound interest in how our built environment and city planning are influencing everyday life in the city.
Asser Munch
Asser is an architect by trade and an architecture guide in Copenhagen.
He has a background as a teacher at the School of Architecture in Aarhus, and later as a building architect on smaller, very diverse projects.
Since 2020 Asser is studying construction engineering at the DTU (Technical University of Denmark).
You can read more on his blog: copenhagenarchitecture.dk.
Occasionally, on busy days, we make use of freelance architect guides, who are also professionals from the building and planning industry.
