The theme for the 1st UROLab was ‘Gellerup, youth and out- door spaces’. Focusing on the ongoing upgrading of the Gellerup Park on the western outskirts of Aarhus (the largest urban upgrad- ing project in Denmark), the aim of the 1st UROLab was for the participants to collectively discuss the contested status of the area’s urban youth in rela- tion to the use of outdoor spaces and, on this basis, consider new ways of har- nessing the Gellerup Park’s potentials for developing a more integrative urban environment. This report describes the 1st URO Lab from its in- ception and planning to the actual realization. It outlines main findings and suggests ways of refin- ing our understanding of urban orders. 5 Gellerup & urban youth 6 Built between 1968-1972, the The youth’s use of the outdoor Gellerup Park on the western spaces between the area’s outskirts of Aarhus, Denmark, high-rise blocks is considered was imagined as an ideal as particularly problematic city and home to the grow- or even criminal by a wide ing middle-class in Aarhus; majority of stakeholders, such a modern environment for as the Aarhus Municipality, the modern citizens.

The data were collected through a questionnaire, conducted in the largest marginalized high-rise community in Denmark, Gellerup, which is about to undergo an extensive community renewal plan. The study showed that residents in Gellerup had access to bonding and bridging social capital inside and outside Gellerup. Nevertheless, the character of the social capital varied considerably depending on age, geographical origin and years lived in Gellerup. Young residents and people who had lived for many years in Gellerup had more social capital than their counterparts. Furthermore, residents from Arab countries had more bonding relations inside Gellerup, while residents from Northern Europe had more bonding relations outside Gellerup. Keywords: Social capital, marginalized communities, Denmark, bonding social capital, bridging social capital Journal of Social Inclusion, 5(1), 2014 Journal of Social Inclusion, 5(1), 2014 Introduction During the 1960s and 1970s, communities of large-scale high-rise housing estates were built in many countries to meet the after-war housing shortage.

    0. Abstract Urban Regeneration is a major planning endeavor in Denmark, with over 500 million Danish kroner invested annually. Issues in Gellerupparken and Toveshøj in the western part of Aarhus is tried dealt with in a large urban regeneration effort. As a cornerstone in the change-making is a municipal office project in the making by Aarhus Municipality, which seeks to involve residents in the area by providing a publically accessible ground floor. With the use of a range of theories concerning the role of citizens and democracy within urban planning, as well as sociology of technology, this thesis seeks to answer to which degree the municipal building can facilitate a meeting between residents in the area, municipal employees and visitors. Interviews with the municipality uncovered that local residents where not invited in the design of the building. Furthermore, the building is designed to have an Aarhus Identity, not a local identity, and the project can be interpreted as contributing to a gentrification of Gellerupparken and Toveshøj, which is suspected by groups of local residents. The building provides office spaces for 1000 employees and is likely to draw visitors. However it is theorized that it is built with the aim of attracting new businesses and gaining legitimization with the overall citizens in Aarhus, and not the locals, where the locals are the least taken into concern in the design of the building. This is a possible hindrance for the residents to use the building, and therefore for the meeting to take place. However, the municipal office building is designed with a degree of flexibility, and a discursive configuration is able to take place, where negative developments can be atoned for to some degree, and the building can gain local ownership and attract local residents.

I de udsatte boligområder i Århus er lidt over en tredjedel af beboerne børn og unge under 18 år, mens det kun gælder for hver femte beboer i Århus som helhed. Med de mange børn og unge er der behov for et godt fritidsliv med mange forskellige aktivitetstilbud. Spørgsmålet er imidlertid, hvordan fritidslivet i de udsatte boligområder ser ud. På baggrund af en undersøgelse af omfanget og brugen af kommunale og foreningsbaserede fritidstilbud til børn og unge i Viby Syd, Bispehaven, Herredsvang og Gellerup/Toveshøj, konkluderer denne rapport, at fritidslivet i de udsatte boligområder har nogle mangler. Overordnet set tegner undersøgelsen et billede af, at de eksisterende tilbud i områderne kun opfanger en mindre del af børnene og de unge. Med et svagt foreningsliv i områderne og en række barrierer for brug af eksterne foreningstilbud er fritidslivet i områderne i høj grad knyttet op på de kommunale fritids‐ og ungdomsklubber.

  • Dear Muslims in the City of Aarhus the Residential Ghetto Policy Targets You - and It (Awaits) Behind the Fight Against Social Problems (Translated)
    بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم Dear Muslims in the City of Aarhus The Residential Ghetto Policy Targets You - and it (Awaits) Behind the Fight Against Social Problems (Translated) It is not new for the Danish government to pursue a policy of discrimination against Muslims; successive governments launched what they called the war of values against Islam, and the Parliament has enacted many laws directed against Muslims at various levels. This has happened over the past twenty years. In the same vein, the integration policy has been applied, and it is in fact an assimilation policy that has been integrated with the security policy. As for non-Western immigrants and their descendants; meaning Muslims in their political definition, they are the ones who pose a security and cultural threat, and they are the burden in economic terms! With the city of Aarhus as an advanced model for the Danish government, housing policy has become part of this campaign. With the launch of the “ghetto” campaign in 2018, it was emphasized that the criterion used for considering a neighborhood as a "ghetto" is to be a concentration area for residents of non-Western backgrounds. This criterion is a stigma for the residents, and opens the door wide for initiatives based on discrimination that have disastrous consequences for human lives. One such consequence is the forced eviction of residents, as well as obliging parents to send their young children to kindergartens. The ghetto plan was launched as part of the so-called war of values, in conjunction with the launch of a hostile discourse in which terms such as parallel society and "holes in the map of Denmark" were used, where Danish values had no sovereignty.
