Spaces and Measures between Welfare State and Security State
This project investigates the emergence and transformation of spatial measures of the Danish welfare system placing renewed attention on physical security, over social security. Focusing on selected public spaces in Copenhagen, the research explores emerging spatialities responding to the threat of terror in the past two decades, as well as the logics of the planning practices and actors producing them. These developments are situated in relation to ongoing transformations of public space and its contribution toward conceptions of welfare in Denmark since 1970.
