Course subject:
Principles for the interdisciplinary analysis of modern urbanity will be developed and tested in case-studies addressing the differentiated spatial and socio-cultural reality of a metropolitan region such as Copenhagen around 2000. Special emphasis will be put on issues of urban architecture and public spaces within the tradition of Danish Modern. A number of professional and academic approaches to the present development of the urban field will be illustrated during this course which will take place on the spot – i. e. in selected areas of the Copenhagen metropolitan region representing ‘Historical Copenhagen*, ‘Modernist Copenhagen’, ‘Suburban Copenhagen’ and ‘Regional Copenhagen’ - including Southern Sweden (Malmö, Scania).
