Under the forest canopy: a new Copenhagen
Forest thinking as an approach to redeveloping socio-spatial structure of Copenhagen
The current state of cities and the challenges have prompted us to reconsider the way we perceive nature and its relationship with urban environments. Anthropogenic impacts, particularly climate change, have highlighted the urgent need to transform how we design and understand living environments in urban areas.
As humans have acted as custodians of the world, we must also take responsibility for addressing the consequences of our actions. Through rapid urbanisation, we have created built environments that increasingly affect human well-being and contribute to various social and environmental challenges.
In case of Copenhagen, Denmark, planning strategies and patterns of urban development have had a significant influence on the current socio-spatial conditions of the Green wedges in Greater Copenhagen region. This thesis focuses on Copenhagen’s urban development, examining the Finger Plan's green wedges and its relationship with the welfare system, technocratic governance, and urbansiation. Through this investigation, the research seeks to understand how these interconnected factors have shaped the region’s urban landscape and contemporary challenges.
The research identifies several key challenges within the green wedges of the Finger Plan in the Greater Copenhagen region, which serve as the primary test site for this project. These challenges include the dichotomy between forest/nature and urban/culture, the issues regarding socio-spatial inequity, and the landscape quality.
By addressing these challenges, the project aims to revive the relationship between human and nature through a speculative design approach, Urban forestry is employed as a tool to explore new ways of creating, using, and managing the green wedge’s landscape of the region. The research is conducted through a Research-by-Design methodology.
The project is informed by three theoretical frameworks. These theories provide the conceptual foundation for exploring and addressing the identified challenges.
The design investigation is carried out across three spatial scales. At the territorial scale, encompassing the Copenhagen region, the project addresses broader regional challenges and opportunities. At the regional scale, focusing on the Vallensbæk Green Wedge in Greater Copenhagen, the project examines the relationships between urban development and forest expansion. Finally, at the local scale, in Avedøre, the project explores speculative design interventions that test new methods of growing, using, and managing forested green wedges.
At the local scale, the project further investigates how spatial quality can be enhanced and how new forms of shared responsibility can be developed to manage forests at a large scale. Through these explorations, the project seeks to propose alternative approaches for fostering stronger connections between people, nature, and the urban landscape.
