Opportunity Spaces Aarhus

CHALLENGE

Citizens in Aarhus identified that there was a need for more nature in the city and that public spaces were often underused.

SOLUTION

We developed a participatory mapping project for identifying opportunity spaces that could do more for citizens. This was used as a pedagogic tool with Masters’ students and the results were developed in a co-design workshop.

IMPACT

Students reported that the project had opened their eyes to the amount of underused public space and its potential to meet the needs of citizens.
