    Developing Rural Mobility A CASE STUDY OF ALSELV By Mia Lodberg Vibe-Hansen, 20191883 MSc4 Mobilities & Urban studies Group: Ma4-urb19 Submitted 26.05.2021 Developing Rural Mobility A CASE STUDY OF ALSLEV BY MIA LODBERG VIBE-HANSEN SUBMITTED 26.05.2021 _________________________________________________ Student: Mia Lodberg Vibe-Hansen, 20191883 _________________________________________________ Supervisor: Claus Lassen 1 I Abstract Today there is an imbalance between the cities and the rural areas in Denmark. Many of the municipalities placed in rural Denmark are struggling with an increasing opt-out of their cities, which affects many areas within the municipality. The challenges of shrinking cities in rural areas are often seen in a generalizing and overall perspective, making it difficult to see the potentials within the individual city. Approached by a cross disciplinary mobilities perspective that is included in the new mobilities paradigm (Urry 2000), this project aims to explore the city of Alslev in Varde Municipality, in relation to the challenges of shrinking cities in rural Denmark. To see, if by adding a mobilities perspective, could unfold the city in a new perspective, which could give rise to new potentials and extend the knowledge upon which urban planners explore a city, and hopefully bring something new to the discussion of developing the rural areas within the municipality. By analysing the rural mobilities of Alslev, it will be studied how Alslev performs as a ‘place’ to identify what are the strengths of Alslev, and what could have potential for improvement. With a focus on everyday life, the citizens of Alslev’s everyday activities are used as a focal point for the mobilities perspective.
