We live in a world where the future is, as it always has been, uncertain. Complexity calls for new answers and this is where art and culture can deliver a blow to our conscience, encourage reflection over humanity’s relationship with nature, and provide inspiration for how we can live more sustainably. An art project that cleans the air in a park over Beijing can provoke a civil reaction demanding clean air and initiate political action. A plant wall can lead to a green movement within the city. Art and culture give us new eyes to see new opportunities.” - Aarhus 2017 6 Introduction Aarhus Sustainability Model Aarhus Sustainability Model Introduction 7 Aarhus 2017 Aarhus 2017 ASM version 2.0 Dear reader In this version, you can read into consideration.
