We must retain our strong cycling culture and pass it on to our children so they can get the same pleasure of moving through traf- fic on a bicycle. Unfortunately, we cycle less today than we did previously. It is quite normal for Danes to get behind the wheel of the car, even for short trips. It is com- fortable and convenient in our busy daily lives. If we are to succeed in en- couraging more people to use their bicycles, therefore, we must make it more attractive and thus easier to cycle to work, school and on leisure trips. We can achieve this by, for example, creating better cycle paths, fewer stops, secure bicycle parking spaces and new cycling facilities. In the government, we are working for a green transition and we want to promote cycling, because cycling is an inexpensive, healthy and clean form of transport. The state has never before done as much in this regard as we are doing at present.

  • From Idea to Lasting Impact
    FROM IDEA TO LASTING IMPACT – The city of Aarhus’ involvement in the Capital of Culture project 2005-18 2017_A4_omslag_1218.indd 1 01/12/2018 21.20 2 Preface When the possibility of applying for the title as European Capital of Culture 2017 came up back in 2006, most people felt that this was too good a chance for Aarhus to pass up. In 2007, Aarhus City Council decided to apply for the title, allocating the responsibility for the application work to the City of Aarhus’ Department of Culture. The work went on until the title was won in August 2012. The Aarhus 2017 Foundation was set up to execute the Capital of Culture project, but the Dept. of Culture continued to service the Foundation until this was manned with its own staff from June 2013. Throughout the completion phase and until today, the City of Aarhus has been engaged intensely in the project, committed to paving the way for its success. Up until the end of 2018, 58 cities have held the title of European Capital of Culture. However, it is no secret that the benefit reaped by the host cities has varied greatly. Many factors have contributed to this, but in our view, it has often been a problem that the city government has not involved itself sufficiently after winning the title. Many consider Aarhus 2017 an example of a successful Capital of Culture project that has been of great significance to both Aarhus and the entire region in a wide range of areas. This will be illustrated by the evaluation report prepared by Aarhus University, which will be published in December 2018.

  • Strengthening Public Service Production, Administrative Problemsolving, and Political Leadership Through Co-Creation?
    Strengthening public service production, administrative problemsolving, and political leadership through co-creation? Tina Øllgaard Bentzen, Eva Sørensen and Jacob Torfing 1. Introduction: from administrative to political co-creation? This paper seeks to enhance our understanding of how local municipalities can benefit from their strategic commitment to co-creation. We are particularly interested in whether the use of co-creation is limited to resource mobilization in the field of public service production and administrative problemsolving, or whether it is also used as a tool for improving policy development and strengthening local political leadership, defined as the identification of problems that calls for collective action and the design and implementation of solutions (Tucker, 1995). Answering this pertinent question enables us to assess whether local municipalities fully exploit the potential of their gravitational shift from being legal authorities and efficient service providers towards becoming platforms and arenas for the co-creation of public value outcomes. After years of budget cuts, rationalization campaigns, and attempts to outsource public service production to private contractors, local governments display a growing interest in mobilizing societal resources by co- producing and co-creating public solutions with users, citizens, civil society organizations and other relevant actors. In many countries, local municipalities are caught in a cross-fire between the citizens’ rising expectations to public services and the scarce public resources. At the same time, the professional and political ambitions to solve complex societal problems such as climate change, social inequality in health, and gang-related crime seem to rise in tandem with the recognition that the power to solve these problems is distributed among a large array of public and private actors (Bryson and Crosby, 2005).

  • Green Procurement and Green Products Generate Growth
    BUSINESS GREEN PROCUREMENT CASES GREEN PROCUREMENT AND GREEN PRODUCTS GENERATE GROWTH The Environmental Protection Agency has assessed the economic and envi- ronmental effects of green public procurement as experienced by the mar- ket. The assessment is based on seven business cases. And the conclusion is clear: Green public procurement creates value for suppliers and the suppliers by enhancing marketing potential, innovation, sales, and export, and helps create new jobs. Moreover, green procurement can be a good economical choice for the procurer, as well as have a positive impact on the environment, health, and work environment.

The cases show that when public procurers prioritise GREEN PROCUREMENT green procurement, the effects reach beyond the specific purchase.
