Idræt og byplanlægning - med København som case
Sport and urban planning – with Copenhagen as case study This article deals with the field of sport and urban planning in large cities, with special focus on the municipality of Copenhagen from 1988-2003. In the first place a situation marked by decline is shown to have existed in the field of sport in Copenhagen over recent years (especially in the central section of the city). This provides the opportunity to pose the question of primary concern: How can sport, city life and urban planning be conceived in relation to future guidelines on the politics of sport and on urban planning in a large city such as Copenhagen? The task here is to recommend a way out of decline through an analysis of the area of “sport and urban planning”. Looked at more specifically, in an attempt to break with possibly restrictive thinking patterns, questions have to asked as to the reasoning behind existing politics on this area. What forms of authoritative and legitimate rationalization (and what conditions of power) have been dominating the politics of sport in Copenhagen from 1988- 2003? And how should future guidelines be formulated in order to make sport a more integral part of the city? On this matter a hypothesis is put forward here that sport in a municipal context is subject to a dominant planning norm, which is devoted to an idea of “obligational fellowship”, and that this norm can be restrictive in regard to new thinking on how to make sport a more integral part of the city
Vores by - mellem vækst og velfærd. Om de (re)kreative planlægningstanker bag Carlsbergbyen
Artiklen har til formål at kaste et kritisk blik på byplanlægningstanker, bl.a. med udgangspunkt i Carlsbergbyen. Disse tanker analyseres i forhold til aktuelle samfundsidealer, og det diskuteres, om de er ulighedsskabende set i et velfærdsperspektiv. The article »Our City – between economic growth and social welfare« deals with physical recreational activity in regard to urban planning. A specific planning site in Copenhagen, »Carlsbergbyen« in Valby is picked out to exemplify contemporary dominating thoughts of planning. In the early planning process, »Carlsbergbyen « was called »Our City« referring to the Carlsberg slogan: »Our Beer«. But seen from a critical perspective it can also refer to »Our City« in contrast to »Their City« – and »Our City« in this matter is the city for The Creative Class. A city that facilitates flexible and multifunctional urban spaces, and that is in particular when it comes to recreational activity. The question asked here is what the social consequences are if contemporary urban planning is dominated by The Creative Class. The question is what mechanisms of social exclusion are at stake? To answer this question the article talks about new paradigms of urban planning, new ways of social distinction and in particular new tendencies of physical recreational activities. The aim of the article is to present a critical perspective that focuses on mechanisms of social exclusion, and hereby call for thoughts of reflection when it comes to the ease with which a term like »Our City« seems to be used in the planning process of »Carlsbergbyen«
