The Battle of Amager Common

Research project under
Spaces of Danish Welfare
Researcher
Jesper Pagh

This project examines changing positions in urban politics and planning strategy in the City of Copenhagen in the periode 1989-2019. The point of departure is a case study of the processes behind the controversial and eventually not realised Ørestad Fælled Kvarter and the projects derived from this: Vejlandskvarteret and Stejlepladsen.

The focus is on the the formal and the actual planning practice and how this relates to changes in the political economy of the Danish welfare state in the period.
