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.
