  • Socioeconomic Impacts of Offshore Wind Executive Presentation Second Draft
    Socioeconomic impacts of offshore wind Executive presentation Second draft th June 26 , 2020 Quantifying Business Impact on Society 1 Socioeconomic impacts of offshore wind Study background and objective In 2018, Denmark signed a new energy agreement for three new offshore wind farms with a total capacity of at least 2.4 GW corresponding to all Danish households' total electricity consumption. In addition, in June of 2020, the Danish Government announced a new ambition to establish two energy islands in Denmark contributing with at least 5 GW offshore wind by 2030. While the role of offshore wind in climate change mitigation and energy security is well understood, there has been less efforts to study the socio-economic impacts from the expansion of offshore wind in terms of economic value-added and jobs, particularly locally. As governments like the Danish are planning substantial expansions of offshore wind over the coming decade, they increasingly want to know what costs and benefits to expect from such investments. The objective of this study is to help answer this question. First, through establishment of a full-scale cradle-to-grave model of a modern offshore wind farm in Europe, the study provides a reference model for estimating the socio-economic impacts of a 1GW offshore wind farm. Using Denmark as the example, the study lays out the detailed investment costs and the likely distribution of economic value-added and jobs, both in Denmark and abroad. Secondly, by taking an ethnographic approach the study explores how offshore wind investments resonate through local ports and supply chains involved in the installation and O&M of an offshore wind.

  • THE BICYCLE RING in AARHUS, DENMARK: a Case Study of Maintaining People Friendly Environments While Managing Cycling Growth
    THE BICYCLE RING IN AARHUS, DENMARK: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Urban Planning & Management | Master Thesis | Aalborg University | June 2017 Estella Johanna Hollander & Matilda Kristina Porsö Title: The Bicycle Ring in Aarhus, Denmark: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Study: M.Sc. in UrBan Planning and Management, School of Architecture, Design and Planning, AalBorg University Project period: FeBruary to June 2017 Authors: Estella Johanna Hollander and Matilda Kristina Porsö Supervisor: Gunvor RiBer Larsen Pages: 111 pages Appendices: 29 pages (A-E) i Abstract This research project seeks to analyze the relationship Between cycling and people friendly environments, specifically focusing on the growth in cycling numbers and the associated challenges. To exemplify this relationship, this research project uses a case study of the Bicycle Ring (Cykelringen) in Aarhus, Denmark. Four corners around the Bicycle Ring, with different characteristics in the Built environment, are explored further. In cities with a growing population, such as Aarhus, moBility is an important focus because the amount of travel will increase, putting a higher pressure on the existing infrastructure. In Aarhus, cycling is used as a tool to facilitate the future demand of travel and to overcome the negative externalities associated with car travel. The outcome of improved mobility and accessibility is seen as complementary to a good city life in puBlic spaces. Therefore, it is argued that cycling is a tool to facilitate people friendly environments. Recently, the City of Aarhus has implemented cycle streets around the Bicycle Ring as a solution to improve the conditions around the ring.

    Our view from City Tower A sustainable and grandiose building overlooking Aarhus. Welcome to the top of City Tower, which is Aarhus’s tallest and most prominent commercial building with a fantastic view. The construction of the building was completed in the summer of 2014. In August 2014, our 130 Aarhus employees moved into the premises totalling 4,500 m2 and occupying the 14th, 15th, 16th and 22nd floors of the building. City Tower spans a total of 34,000 m2 divided on 25 floors – the two bottom floors housing the cellar and the under- ground parking area.

This paper will look at the factual Ragnar and the fictionalized character as presented to the general viewing public. Ragnar Lothbrok is getting a lot of air time recently. He and the other characters from the History Channel series The Vikings are on Tee shirts, posters, books, and websites. The jewelry from the series is selling quickly on the web and the actors that portray the characters are in high demand at conventions and other venues. The series is fun but as all historic series creates a history that is not necessarily accurate.

  • Borgmestergården – 100 År I Den Gamle By
    Borgmestergården – 100 år i Den Gamle By Af Niels Meyer og Mathilde Schødt Veland I 100-året for Borgmestergårdens åbning i Den Gamle By kaster nye bygningsarkæologiske undersøgelser lys over gårdens histo- rie, hvor dele af bindingsværket kan dateres til middelalderen. Hovedresultaterne sammenfattes her af bygningsarkæolog, cand. mag. Mathilde Schødt Veland, som står bag undersøgelsen, samt bygingschef, arkitekt maa. Niels Meyer. Borgmestergården kender de fleste som en af de store køb- mandsgårde i Den Gamle By, men bygningen er meget mere end det – det er selve begyndelsen på Den Gamle By. Peter Holm havde stor succes med “Den Gamle Borg- mestergaard” på Landsudstillingen i 1909, og det gav ham rygstød til i 1914 at flytte hele huset en gang mere, til hvor det står i dag, og hvor det nu i 100 år har formidlet dansk boligkultur fra renæssancen til midten af 1800-tallet. Men det at flytte huse og rekonstruere historiske helheder var ab- solut ikke anerkendt i datidens museumskredse. Både Natio- nalmuseets direktør, Sophus Müller og formanden for Aarhus Museum, Konsul Frederik Ollendorff var imod projektet. Borgmestergården er bygget om Ollendorff udtalte faktisk, at det eneste bevaringsværdige flere gange.

Sophus som den var i renæssancen. Müller kaldte svalegangen en imitation, fordi brædderne, han stod på, ikke var fra 1597. Heldigvis var der andre, der så potentialet og gav støtte til Holms projekt. Derved lykkedes det at bevare et enestå- ende eksemplar af renæssancens store bygårde fra Aarhus.
