Denmark's biodiversity crisis demands ambitious solutions, warned Prof. Carsten Rahbek, cautioning against superficial green efforts. Perhaps the municipalities lack help to make significant green decisions, suggested Politician Rasmus Nordquist. However, the municipalities will be able to learn from green urban development projects, e.g. Kildedal. hoped city and sustainability manager Siv Raun Andersen. Mike Ameko Lippert, Strategy Director at SLA - an internationally renowned nature-based design studio in Copenhagen, talked about the importance of aesthetic nature sensitivity, while Professor at the University of Copenhagen Helle Tegner Anker discussed the law regarding nature and cities. The hall was full of listeners when Desire's partner DAC together with Desire recently invited to a dialogue meeting (Danish).

Nature in the city is no longer solely defined by a freshly mowed lawn, a flowerbed, or a plane tree on the street. Not anymore, at least. Emerging agendas, where climate and biodiversity take centre stage, are shifting our perception of nature, and this shift is already visible in the urban landscape. But if nature is to occupy more space and play a more significant role in the city, what can we do?

On the 16th of January 2024, DAC - Danish Architecture Center (Dansk Arkitektur Center) and Desire invited people to an inspiring dialogue (Danish)!
