‘Sustaining Publics’ is part of the Urban Living Lab within the Green Solutions Centre at Copenhagen University. This project is rooted in the exploration of Nordhavn, aiming to explore the relationship between public spaces, human behaviour, and sustainability through a blend of qualitative research, including ethnography and experimental visual methodologies. By focusing on this area, the initiative seeks to offer urban designers insights, data and tools which help create safer, more inclusive, and sustainable urban environments. This is crucial for shaping cities that prioritise ecological and social sustainability and can promote responsible behaviours and inclusivity -particularly considering those at marginalised intersections.
Over a year, "Sustaining Publics" will engage a diverse group of participants to understand and document the dynamics of urban life, public behaviour and city spaces. Through this human-centred approach, "Sustaining Publics" not only seeks to enhance the livability of Nordhavn but also serves as a vital blueprint for informed decision-making in urban design, paving the way for more inclusive and sustainable cities worldwide.
