Youngsters just want to TikTok all day.. Until you show them rooftop playgrounds like this one in Ørestad, Copenhagen. In the course, Strategies for Urban Livability that I teach at DIS, we use the city as our classroom to experience the city. That’s how you immerse yourself in urban concepts!

Der har været en del snak om et deadline program som berører emnet om mælk og jeg kan forstå at det danske rige står og falder på skolemælksordningen. I øvrigt er programmet nok det bedste argument i nyere tid for at tilføje flere penge til folkeskolen. Særligt i de helt små årgange. #dkpol

The status quo is radical Reducing car space in cities is often framed as “extreme”, as if today’s streets are neutral or fair What’s radical is giving so much public space to cars, based on a failed ideal of “unlimited freedom” that creates unfreedom for everyone else That is #spatialinjustice

When breakfast with a view turns into an anthropological study of mobility behavior at the Place de la République in #Paris. The city is an excellent urban lab for exploring how a contemporary biking (r)evolution takes place in front of your eyes. A please to dive in on a week long study tour.

Our new book København 2.0 – A New Path for the Capital explores how Copenhagen can rethink urban development in an era of climate crisis, housing pressure, and limited resources. By New Urban Voices. 34 proposals for a new direction for the city. More info soon. An English version is coming!

Time to cure the #imaginationcrisis

Copenhagen bicycle culture - Where even the sewer cleaner makes sure that bikes go uninterrupted. Low friction solution - Keep on biking!

1/3 A 2026 study examined shopkeepers’ views on reallocating street space away from cars. Key finding: retailers often overestimate how many customers arrive by car and underestimate walking, cycling, and public transport (car users are simply more visible). www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

A new study finds broad public support for reallocating street space to cycling. Highest support for replacing car lanes, not pedestrian space. The main barrier is not public opposition. It is the continued prioritization of cars in how space is allocated. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...?

It’s not radical to take space away from cars and give it back to people. Honestly, it’s common sense! Accepting the status quo is what’s truly radical.

What if just 10% of car trips in Europe shifted to cycling and walking? €15 billion saved every year. Cleaner air, less congestion, fewer crashes, lower CO₂, better health. Paris shifted 12–13 percentage points away from cars in under a decade. Cycling now outnumbers cars trips in the city center!

The backalleys of Copenhagen. I tend to walk in when a gate is open (and it usually is because we live in a high-trust low-crime society). I always encourage my urban planning students to get lost in the city. The hidden gems often tell amazing stories. Just imagine the life in here 100 yrs ago!

Copenhagen is changing the green wave - from cars to bikes 🚲🚦 15 major streets will now give cyclists coordinated green lights, reducing stops and improving flow. A small but important shift in who the city is designed for. Read more: www.nordicpath.dk/copenhagen-i...

We often frame mobility as a question of individual choice. But in reality, mobility is largely determined by the system people are placed within. Infrastructure, distance, safety, and urban form shape behavior long before individual preference enters the picture. If we build it, they will come.
