Re-imagining Urban Futures

The future of urbanity demands innovative approaches to understanding and shaping the cities we live in. The Urban Solutions to Green Transitions Living Lab has dedicated its first years to researching exactly this. Now, its findings come to life in Reimagining Urban Futures, a two-part visual exhibition that invites you to explore approaches to urban sustainability.  

The exhibition, drawn from the pilot projects “Planning for People, Place and Planet” and “Sustaining Publics”, presents insights and methodologies that bridge research with real-world urban challenges. 

Exploring Urban Nature and Public Space 

With Nordhavn as the focal point, the exhibition is divided into two distinct themes: 

Meaningful Nature investigates how citizens interact with urban nature and highlights the importance of designing solutions that integrate ecosystems within the built environment. 

Calls from the Public takes an ethnographic approach. Through a set of portraits, this exhibition invites reflection on our city experiences and how they can inform actionable design parameters for a more inclusive cityscape. 

Both projects engage in futuring—a method of visually and conceptually reimagining better urban futures and green transitions. Through multidisciplinary collaboration and citizen engagement, the exhibition highlights the role of lived experiences in shaping sustainable cities.
