Last year in August, we spent several days in Denmark to prepare the 2015 conference and fell in love with Southern Denmark and Odense. We enjoyed the cordial, Hans Klein professional interactions with locals and the gracious hospitality of the Danish people. Transfer from Copenhagen International Airport to the conference Hotel in Odense S is very convenient, fast, through beautiful countryside across the new 18km long Great Belt Fixed Link which is one of the largest bridges in the world. The link replaced the ferry service that had been the primary means of crossing the Great Belt. You will find helpful 'Facts on Denmark' by visiting the Tourism website visitdenmark.com.

  • Why Mass Media Matter to Planning Research: the Case of Megaprojects†
    WHY MASS MEDIA MATTER TO PLANNING RESEARCH: THE CASE OF MEGAPROJECTS† By Bent Flyvbjerg, University of Oxford Full reference: Bent Flyvbjerg, "Why Mass Media Matter to Planning Research: The Case of Megaprojects," Journal of Planning Education and Research, vol. 32, no. 2, June 2012, pp. 169-81. DOI: 10.1177/0739456X12441950 Link to published paper: http://jpe.sagepub.com/content/early/2012/04/11/0739456X12441950 ABSTRACT This article asks how planning scholarship may effectively gain impact in planning practice through media exposure. In liberal democracies the public sphere is dominated by mass media. Therefore, working with such media is a prerequisite for effective public impact of planning research. Using the example of megaproject planning, it is illustrated how so-called "phronetic planning research," which explicitly incorporates in its methodology active and strategic collaboration with media, may be helpful in generating change in planning practice via the public sphere. Main lessons learned are: (1) Working with mass media is an extremely cost-effective way to increase the impact of planning scholarship on practice; (2) Recent developments in information technology and social media have made impact via mass media even more effective; (3) Research on "tension points," i.e., points of potential conflict, are particularly interesting to media and the public, and are especially likely to generate change in practice; and (4) Tension points bite back; planning researchers should be prepared for, but not afraid of, this. KEYWORDS: Mass media, planning research, planning, media exposure, public deliberation, megaprojects, tension points, phronesis. † The author wishes to thank the editor of JPER and three anonymous reviewers for their highly useful comments on an earlier version of the article.

Byen er et gigantisk supermarked, der er fyldt med smilende servitricer med afblegede tænder og iført lidt for korte nederdele, der står parat til at tage imod dig med gratis cocktails, hvis du lader dig guide ind i lokalernes mørke gamblinggrotter, hvor der ikke skiltes med udgange. Er man først kommer derind, så bliver man der. Her kan alle behov opfyldes, så længe det er cool cash, der anvendes som kommunikationsmiddel. Dette er i sandhed et kulturstudie værdigt. Jeg er i byen for at medvirke i den 25. kongres arrangeret af den amerikansk ledede brancheforening, IHRSA, som står for International Health, Racquet & Sportsclub Association.

The intention is to propose a set of policy options to enhance the contribution of these infrastructures to economic and social development at home and abroad in the years to come. The Project follows on from the work undertaken in the OECD’s Infrastructure to 2030 Report and focuses on gateways, hubs and corridors which were not encompassed in the earlier report. The objectives include identifying projections and scenarios to 2015 / 2030 / 2050, opportunities and challenges facing gateways and hubs, assessing future infrastructure needs and financing models, drawing conclusions and identifying policy options for improved gateway and corridor infrastructure in future. The Project Description includes five work modules that outline the scope and content of the work in more detail. The Steering Group and OECD International Futures Programme team are managing the project, which is being undertaken in consultation with the OECD / International Transport Forum and Joint Transport Research Centre and with the participation of OECD in-house and external experts as appropriate.

Corsi May, 2014 ABSTRACT This dissertation advances the study of the cultural integration of Denmark with continental Europe in the Middle Ages. By approaching the question with a view to the longue durée, it argues that Danish aristocratic culture had been heavily influenced by trends on the Continent since at least the Roman Iron Age, so that when Denmark adopted European courtly culture, it did so simultaneously to its development in the rest of Europe. Because elite culture as it manifested itself in the Middle Ages was an amalgamation of that of Ancient Rome and the Germanic tribes, its origins in Denmark is sought in the interactions between the Danish territory and the Roman Empire.
