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

  • Contingency, Debate, and Pop- up 'Hygge' at Valby Pavilion
    Contingency, debate, and pop- up ‘hygge’ at Valby Pavilion: Situating temporary public urban settings in design critique Anne Margrethe Wagner Assistant professor, Architect MAA University of Copenhagen Division of Landscape Architecture and Planning/IGN Copenhagen, Denmark Abstract Public spaces emerge through a diverse field of practices and events that combine to make space and create meaning. In today’s design and planning practice, temporary interventions play an increasing role in the creation and rethinking of public space ‘on the go’. In such transitional interventions, ‘the project’ is both physically and symbolically created through entangled actions of design with somewhat non-designed and informal practices and DIY aesthetics, as well as various narratives and modes of communication. Temporary public spaces thereby challenge established ways of evaluating and critiquing spatial settings as determined design solutions or ‘classic’ architectural works—in terms of what they do and how they can be qualitatively understood as part of contemporary place-making approaches. This article forms a critique of the project Valby Pavilion, a temporary space in Valby (Copenhagen, Denmark) that serves as a test setup for the future use of its highly contested site. Through a juxtaposition of selected theoretical perspectives from art and architectural criticism to relational site thinking and performance studies, the discussion of the project elaborates upon which aspects require detailed attention when performing a critique of temporary urban public spaces. The article concludes that critical examination of a number of issues (intentionality and origin, the role of spatial adaptions, appropriation, events and situated public debate, dominant planning paradigms, and the characteristic aesthetics of the informal) helps to fruitfully locate public settings initiated under the ‘temporary project’ label within design and architectural critique.

    Assessing Traffic and Air Quality in Central Copenhagen Submitted to: Professors Melissa Belz and Zhikun Hou Worcester Polytechnic Institute Mrs. Marietta Bonnet Miljøpunkt Indre By Interactive Qualifying Project (IQP) Final Report Denmark ‘15 Sakshi Khurana, Lisa Mendez, Florentia Nicole Ong, Caleb Stepanian May 1, 2015 Source: http://kk.sites.itera.dk/apps/kk_pub2/pdf/1205_zA7aIS8D1d.pdf This report represents the work of WPI undergraduate students submitted to the faculty as evidence of completion of a degree requirement. WPI routinely publishes these reports on its website without editorial or peer review. For more information about the projects program at WPI, please see http://www.wpi.edu/academics/ugradstudies/project- learning.html Abstract Sponsored by Miljøpunkt Indre By, we assessed the traffic congestion and air quality in the city center of Copenhagen, Denmark. We conducted surveys with locals, interviewed experts, and conducted direct observations of the area. After analysis of the data, we evaluated the feasibility of a tunnel, explored possible alternative solutions, and offered recommendations for alleviating congestion and reducing air pollution. We found that while a tunnel would reduce air and noise pollution, it may not be effective in reducing traffic volume. Instead, we recommend discouraging car use and promoting public transportation by incorporating a light rail system, reducing lanes, implementing a park and ride system, and improving bicycle infrastructure. i Acknowledgements We would like to thank Professors Hou, Belz and Taylor for guiding us through this process. We would also like to thank our sponsors Marietta Bonnet, Dorte Heiss and Kjeld Larsen from Miljøpunkt Indre By for warmly welcoming us to Copenhagen and being our mentors.

Sustainable Innovation 2014 will take place on the 3rd and 4th November 2014 at KADK, Copenhagen, Denmark.

Cities play a key role in the Green Economy but are often ‘hot beds’ of environmental & social problems as a result of dense populations. However, cities are well placed to act as catalysts for the development of new sustainable solutions to transport, water, food, energy, waste & lifestyle problems due to their public purchasing power & the existence & proximity of key role players in the innovation system. Model implementation of innovative solutions are starting to surface in a number of leading smart, sustainable cities e.g. Stockholm, New York, San Francisco & Copenhagen with significant investment from industry leaders e.g.
