Copenhagen Solutions in Oslo: Copenhagen’s 2025 CO2-neutral goal at the architecture triennale
Exhibition
Sep 24 - Oct 15, 2013
Shown in connection with the Oslo Architecture Triennale in 2013, Copenhagen Solutions opened with a panel debate at DogA on how cities can drive sustainable development across social, economic and environmental goals.
The partnership between the City of Copenhagen, the Danish Architecture Center and Realdania, shows a wide range of initiatives and projects which are helping to transform Copenhagen. The exhibition presented Copenhagen’s target of becoming the world’s first CO2neutral capital by 2025.
The capital is already well on its way to its target. The projects are evidence of this, and include: the revitalisation of former industrial areas and the development of new urban districts with innovative architecture, sustainable heating, and a well-integrated transport system.
By demonstrating sustainable solutions in Copenhagen, the exhibition served as inspiration for other cities.
Debate: Cities as drivers for sustainable development
The exhibition opened with a public debate September 24 17:00 at DogA. The debate addressed cities as drivers for sustainable development. Has sustainability been reduced to a convenient tool in the global competition between cities or is there a sincere wish to create sustainable cities for the common good? What can Norway and Denmark learn from each other, and what really matters when it comes to social, economic and environmental sustainable development?
