Formål Kommune- og Regionsorienteringen er et supplement til Status Letbane, der er den kvartalsvise afrapportering om letbaneprojektet til bestyrelsen i og ejerne af Hovedstadens Letbane samt til staten som tilskudsmyndighed. Kommune- og Regionsorienteringen er udarbejdet med henblik at give letbanekommunerne og regionen et billede af, hvordan letbaneprojektet kommer til at påvirke deres omgivelser i den nærmeste fremtid. 1.2. Opbygning og indhold Kommune- og Regionsorienteringen er bygget op på følgende måde. Først præsenteres en samlet oversigt over de projektaktiviteter, der forventeligt finder sted i løbet af det næste halve år i letbanekommunerne. Oversigten forsøger i videst muligt omfang at belyse alle projektaktiviteter, der finder sted i løbet af de næste seks måneder. Det kunne fx være ledningsomlægninger, forberedende arbejder eller anlægsarbejder. I oversigten vil man ydermere kunne se, i hvilken letbanekommune projektaktiviteten finder sted, samt hvor lang tid projektaktiviteten forventes at vare. Slutteligt vil man i oversigten over projektaktiviteter kunne se, hvorvidt den pågældende aktivitet er beskrevet yderligere i det efterfølgende kapitel.

Tryk: Cool Gray A/S Kom og vær med – sæt dit aftryk på Furesø Kommune I år er det 10 år siden, de to kommuner Farum og Værløse blev sammenlagt til Furesø Kommune. 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.

  • The Influence of Political Structures and Local Community Engagement on Placemaking in Train Stations a Case Study of Glostrup M
    The influence of political structures and local community engagement on placemaking in train stations A case study of Glostrup Multifunctional Station Sustainable Cities Thesis Aalborg University of Copenhagen Mohammad Ghannam Study No. 2094407 Date: October 2th, 2019 Abstract Traditionally the development of a train station focuses on transportation manners for commuters. The challenge in modern train stations is the quality of the public space, which adds value to citizens through sustainable measures. It is crucial to strengthen participation for better development of train stations. There is a lack of involvement, and throughout the thesis, it is demonstrated that the argument is two- folded. The first one is local, about local development, inclusion, and achieving locally sustainable objectives. The other is about the system level. In order to handle the urbanization, new ways of governing are fundamental to achieve an optimal train station that comprehends all aspects of the transportation system. In a paradigm of transport where time-travel is at the center, there is not enough focus on the quality of the trip as a whole for people. The quality of the space is affected by the existing infrastructure that puts some limitations on the recreation of the place. Other challenging aspects of urban spaces, at the stations, are better transport modes, energy-efficiency, pollution reduction and policy framework. The focus on train stations is relevant for the development of sustainable cities since it offers quality of life, efficient connectivity, optimal and innovative use of public spaces and reduction of human footprint. The purpose of this thesis is to explore the influence of the political structure and the local community concerning strengthening placemaking in train stations.
