Buddinge Case Study ACKNOWLEDGMENTS First of all, I deeply value Professor Francisco Piqueiro, the advisor of this dissertation, for the passion to his work and the enlightened way he transfers it to his students. Also, since the very first Hydraulics class, for having a resolute role in my specialization and for the knowledge transmitted and support he gave me, not only in my last phase as a student but throughout my academic career. I sincerely appreciate all the trust he put in me and in my dissertation, even being 3000km away. To Christian Nyerup Nielsen, Head of Department of the Urban Water Management and Climate Change Adaptation of Rambøll Head Office, in Copenhagen, for making real my wish of going abroad and especially to this company to study in a real engineering project environment and to write my master thesis on it. To everyone in the Urban Water Management and Climate Change Adaptation Department at Rambøll, for the warm welcome and for the sympathy shared in the last months in the office, from the Hej to the Vi ses i morgen. A special thanks to Trine Stausgaard Munk who helped me throughout all the process of exchange semester and to Andreas Oliver Henriques, for always being there to help me in my project. Having this opportunity was a milestone in my academic and personal life. Being in a so challenging company environment made me feel like a real future engineer. To Erasmus+ Exchange Program for giving me the opportunity to go abroad again because once is not enough. To all my good friends, that I do not need to mention by name, for the fun, the good and bad moments and for all the unforgettable memories we share. To everyone I met while being abroad that made my two stays in Denmark one of the best choices I could ever make during my academic career. To José Calejo, my good old friend with whom I had the privilege of sharing our last semester as FEUP students in the land of the Vikings, Denmark. For being my biggest and warmest supporter in the accomplishment of my dissertation, for all the adventures, all the memories and travels around the world in our short weekends. A heartfelt thanks for everything. Finally, to the ones whom I owe everything, the ones that made it possible to be where I am, the ones that support me no matter what and encourage me to follow my dreams: my family. To my mother Ana Madalena and my father, Manuel João, without whom nothing of this would be possible and for understanding my deep desire of being in Denmark even if it that meant being 3000km away from them. To my elder sister, Ana, for being a master in packing, for everything she teaches me every day and for all the advices she gives me all the time.

III Comparison between a sustainable and a traditional drainage solution with Mike Urban. Buddinge Case Study IV Comparison between a sustainable and a traditional drainage solution with Mike Urban. Buddinge Case Study ABSTRACT Flooding due to extreme rain events in urban environments is a major problem and a growing concern. When drainage water systems stops responding to rain events demands and taking in account that the reduction of the natural retention capacity is decreasing every day, flooding is inevitable. Consequences can be highly severe for people, buildings and environment, therefore new solutions for flooding consequences mitigation must be studied and applied. Buddinge is an area located in the municipality of Gladsaxe, northwest from Copenhagen, the capital of Denmark, affected in the past few years by severe problems due to floods at low points of the town. This lead to an engineering project aimed to mitigate the situation in sustainable terms. This thesis approach the Buddinge storm water systems project as a case study for the evaluation of the new drainage solutions. The area was modeled with Mike Urban software and some solutions were analysed and compared in order to smooth the peak discharge flow and to mitigate the existing flooding consequences. The results showed that the implementation of sustainable solutions, such as green roads, cloudburst roads, central delay lands and LIDA’s, connected with the traditional urban drainage solution improved the drainage system of Buddinge, smoothing the peak discharge flow and contributing for a greener and bluer city. With the proposed final solution, Buddinge Train Station, one of the most critical areas will not be flooded. KEY WORDS: Urban drainage, Mike Urban, modelling, flooding, drainage solutions, sustainability V Comparison between a sustainable and a traditional drainage solution with Mike Urban. Buddinge Case Study VI Comparison between a sustainable and a traditional drainage solution with Mike Urban. Buddinge Case Study RESUMÉ Oversvømmelser forårsaget af ekstrem nedbør i de urbane områder er et stort og voksende problem. I takt med at eksisterende afløbssystemerne ikke kan håndtere de kraftige regnhændelser, og at den naturlige kapacitet i byområder generelt reduceres, er oversvømmelser uundgåelige. Konsekvenserne for mennesker, bygninger og miljøet kan være alvorlige. Nye løsninger for skybrudshåndtering bør derfor blive studeret og anvendt.

Vi vil være en attraktiv, grøn bosætningskommune, og vi har netop rundet de 42.000 indbyggere. En landsdækkende undersøgelse har i foråret 2017 vist, at Furesø er den kommune i landet, flest borgere vil anbefale andre at flytte til. Vi har altså grund til at forvente, at vi bliver flere i de kom- mende år. Nye borgere giver mulighed for at udvikle kommunen og dens tilbud. Men i Furesø vil vi ikke have vækst for vækstens skyld – vi vil have bæredygtig vækst i dialog med borgere og virksomheder. Bæredygtig vækst handler om at bevare og beskytte de kultur- og naturværdier, vi har, samtidig med at vi udvikler med omtanke. I Furesø har vi nogle af hovedstadsområdets flotteste natur- områder. Dem skal vi bevare og beskytte, så også kommende generationer kan få glæde af dem. Samtidig skal vi give mulighed for at benytte dem, så flere får adgang til naturen, samtidig med, at landbrug og fødevareerhverv kan drives og trives.

We were not entirely sure what we had started. We knew that we had given half of the museum’s exhibition area to children for almost a year, so they could experience free play and a new interpretation of the legendary The Model of 1968. But we had not dared to hope that the children would embrace The Model so wholeheartedly, bringing it to life and transforming it from a play- ground into an artwork, from an exhibition into a place. At ARKEN we have a strong focus on participation, people at play, and the role of the museum in society.

    NORDIC AMBIENT ASSISTED LIVING Welfare technologies for active and independent living at home Colophon Nordic Ambient Assisted Living – a stronghold of the Nordic health and care sector Nordic Welfare Solutions is one of six flagship projects under the Nordic Prime Ministers' joint initiative, Nordic Solutions to Global Challenges, coordinated by the Nordic Council of Ministers. Nordic Welfare Solutions is managed by Nordic Innovation and has the goal of increasing exports through Nordic cooperation, branding and storytelling. The aim is to create a critical mass, strengthen Nordic networks and improve market access for Nordic companies. This white paper introduces a selection of Nordic solutions for Ambient Assisted Living. These are technologies and welfare services developed in the Nordic Region, which enable the elderly to lead an independent life in their own home for a longer duration. It is one of three white papers derived from an analysis of the Strongholds of the Nor- dic Health Tech Ecosystem, published by Nordic Innovation in 2018. This white paper is based on input from more than 70 interviewees working within health and care provi- sion, research and technology development in the Nordic Region.

Baggrund og formål Passagerpulsen har i august og september 2019 fokus på stationer. Herunder blandt an- det passagerernes oplevelse af tryghed på stationerne. Dette notat indeholder en opgørelse over passagerernes tilfredshed med trygheden på tog- og metrostationer. Dataindsamlingen har fundet sted i forbindelse med dataindsam- lingen til Passagerpulsens Nationale Passager Tilfredshedsundersøgelser (NPT) i perio- den januar 2016 til og med september 2018. Notatet skal ses i sammenhæng med Passagerpulsens to øvrige udgivelser i september 2019: Passagerernes oplevelse af tryghed på togstationer1 Utryghed på stationer2 Notatet kan for eksempel anvendes til at identificere de stationer, hvor relativt flest passa- gerer føler sig trygge eller utrygge med henblik på at fokusere en eventuel indsats der, hvor behovet er størst. Vi skal i den forbindelse gøre opmærksom på, at oplevelsen af utryghed kan skyldes forskellige forhold fra sted til sted. For eksempel de andre personer, der færdes det pågældende sted eller de fysiske forhold på stedet.
