Map of the Conference venue

The interest in the urban space and life has become stronger in the last few years. The extent of events in the streets and open spaces of the cities is increasing. The acknowledgement of the importance of good urban spaces has improved, and the number of urban spaces projects is huge. But who actually uses the urban spaces, which urban spaces are used? And how do they use them? What characterizes the good urban space? And how and by who is it evaluated? How is a better co-operation between urban space researchers, decision makers and users established? Is it the right urban spaces which receive investments? How can research optimize the basis for decisions?

At the conference "Urban Life and Urban Space Qualities - New Knowledge, Methods and Knowledge Needs", researchers, practitioners and decision makers both from Denmark and other counties present and discuss thoughts and ideas about urban spaces. The conference provides an insight in the current stage of urban space research and practices right now. What are the challenges and opportunities? Join us in the discussion and exploration of the diversity of the urban spaces, see the urban spaces from different angles, and try the latest GPS technology which is being used to uncover the patterns of movements through the different parts of the city.
