The workshop will discuss the necessity to skip traditional urban planning, urban design and architecture. Examples from all over the world show that a mixture of public planning and capitalism creates urban deserts. We have to rethink how to create living cities.
Simple rules that enable groups of people to form their own communities and living spaces should be formulated.
To build your own home as part of a community should be considered as important as having sex or cooking your own food. How do we make space for this in a modern city?
How would a society based on accessibility instead of ownership work?
The workshop will consist of discussions and a collective process that results in the construction of an actual habitat in the city-space of Copenhagen.
