addresses
the development of attractive and activating public spaces in the city. Using 50 Danish and international
examples, the book describes how physical activity and sports activities can be integrated in the development
and design of Danish urban spaces. The book also outlines how the activating urban space can provide inhabitants with new opportunities for fitting sports activities into a busy week.
By way of the examples, the author illustrates how the use of creative design and simple measures can transform a space in the city into an attractive and active urban space capable of accommodating a wide range of
physical and mental activities.
A good space in the city can accommodate a wide range of activities and can be adapted to various activities,
events, users and weather conditions. The 50 examples in Activating Architecture and Urban Planning show
how the good urban space can be achieved and integrated in urban planning.
