Aktivitets-TestZonen

Aktivitets-TestZonen was a temporary urban development project taking place in an old 38000 m2 railway area of Copenhagen from 2008-2010. The project had a budget of 536000 € and was situated within the government of Copenhagen.

The purpose was 2 sided in that it both needed to satisfy the immediate local needs for a green, recreational area with a supply of activities within culture, sport and environmental realms. Furthermore, a parallel process of making a permanent park in the area was using our project as a testing grounds towards physical planning, civic participation, communication etc.

I worked here as development and coordination consultant throughout the whole project period in charge of all daily leadership and coordination including budget handling, physical planning, communication, activity planning and coordination, funds administration, cooperation with local institutions, citizen organizations and many other tasks.
