One goal is to ensure that the residents of disadvantaged areas use public schools, day-care facilities, after-school institutions and leisure and youth clubs to the same extent as residents in other parts of Copenhagen. Another is to improve employment levels to the Copenhagen average, while a third is to ensure that disadvantaged areas are just as safe to live in and visit as other parts of the city. 4 POLICY FOR DISADVANTAGED AREAS POLICY FOR DISADVANTAGED AREAS 5 Initiatives designed to give dis- advantaged areas a lift • Preferential treatment • Focus on core operations • One municipality – also locally • Stronger and more binding relations with the public housing sector and citizens in general • Development plans for the six disadvantaged areas The policy in brief – focus on the things that work locally With the policy for disadvantaged areas of Co- One of the city's greatest strengths is its diversity the efforts made in the disadvantaged areas.

  • Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg University Hospital and Hitachi
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg University Hospital and Hitachi Agree to Begin Studies Targeting Joint Development of IT Driven Solutions to Increase Efficiency of Hospital Management Tokyo, Japan, (November 5, 2014) --- Bispebjerg and Frederiksberg University Hospital and Hitachi, Ltd. (TSE:6501, “Hitachi”) today announced that they have reached an agreement to undertake studies targeting joint development of solutions for increasing the efficiency of hospital management using IT. As part of efforts to become a carbon neutral nation, the Kingdom of Denmark (“Denmark”) is promoting activities with ambitious goals in a variety of fields, including the environment, energy and transport. In the healthcare field, since 2013, it has been promoting the “Super Hospital” concept*1, which involves the establishment of cutting-edge medical facilities in 16 locations throughout the country. Based on this Super Hospital concept, New Hospital and Mental Health Bispebjerg is scheduled to become the largest Super Hospital in Copenhagen by 2025, and is promoting activities aimed at reducing medical costs and increasing the level of medical services. *1 Super Hospital concept: A national project being promoted by the Danish government. The concept involves the aggregation of functions at 16 large-scale hospitals nationwide and the construction of a structure for the use of those functions across a broad geographical area. The goal of the concept is to further increase the efficiency and quality of advanced medical services, and to facilitate access to those services. Hitachi established the Hitachi Global Center for Innovative Analytics in April 2013 to act as a driving force behind the expansion of business in big data application fields by combining the resources of Hitachi Group’s laboratories and business divisions.

Journal of Political Ecology, 27(1), 612-634. https://doi.org/10.2458/v27i1.23749 Download date: 30. sep.. 2021 Cultivating urban conviviality: urban farming in the shadows of Copenhagen's neoliberalisms Rebecca L. Rutt1 University of Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract In this article I explore how the possibilities for commoning and conviviality through small-scale urban farming initiatives intertwine with neoliberal trends. I do this by recounting the trajectory of a small rooftop garden in the city of Copenhagen, Denmark. Drawing on ethnographic research in and around this garden, I show how such communal, anti-capitalist, eco-social endeavors are thoroughly entangled in the city's neoliberal turn over recent decades. Various manifestations of neoliberalism, ranging from formalization processes to austerity pressures, articulate with convivial urban farming initiatives in contradictory and recursive relationships that both nurture and endanger these local initiatives. I describe for example how formalization engenders legitimacy but also homogenization and how green initiatives are celebrated while undermined
