Sustainability in construction<br />
and urban development<br />
The City of Copenhagen has developed<br />
tools and guidelines to help architects,<br />
advisors, planners and politicians<br />
assess sustainability in architecture<br />
and urban development. This includes<br />
guidelines for environmental concerns<br />
in construction (Miljø i byggeri og anlæg)<br />
and sustainability concerns (De 14 bæredygtighedshensyn).<br />
The latter is a set<br />
of tools for ensuring that sustainability<br />
is included at various levels in the local<br />
planning processes for all major new<br />
construction projects.<br />
Programming<br />
For every project, a programme should<br />
be drawn up that brings together the<br />
right resources and professionals. It is<br />
important to include a variety of professionals<br />
with relevant competences. In<br />
some cases it will also be relevant to<br />
include the citizens. In that connection<br />
it will be essential to use the City’s future<br />
strategy for citizen dialogue. Here,<br />
the citizens’ knowledge and contributions<br />
are considered key to developing<br />
projects, qualifying decisions and<br />
achieving ownership. We have good<br />
experiences with local committees or<br />
citizen groups acting as jury members<br />
in invited competitions and workshops.
