Show Me The Budget: The Invisible City

Show Me The Budget - Den usynlige by // The invisible city

The city stands on an invisible carpet — thick, fuzzy, expensive, and unseen. A carpet that creeps under every house, every park, every neighborhood. This carpet comprises all power structures, conventions, and money that actually shape the city.

We tend to think of the city as a physical space — but increasingly, it is shaped by forces beyond the physical: the market, building codes, contract models, investment strategies, pension funds, tendering rules, land plot sizes.

We dedicate an evening to discussing everything that truly shapes the city — the invisible city. On stage, leading urban researchers, planners, and artists will share insights and concrete alternatives.

Speakers: Gunhild Askehave (Architect, Phd, researcher) & Christoffer Worm (Urban Anthropologist) & Lauge Floris/Atelier for Byers Rum (architects, urbanists, utopists)

Moderator: Anne-Laura Hedegaard

DA:

Byen hviler på et usynligt tæppe — tykt, fnugget, dyrt og uset. Et tæppe, der snor sig ind under hvert hus, hver park, hvert kvarter. Dette tæppe består af alle de magtstrukturer, konventioner og penge, der i virkeligheden former byen.

Vi har en tendens til at tænke på byen som et fysisk rum — men i stigende grad formes den af kræfter, der ligger uden for det fysiske: markedet, bygningsreglementer, kontraktmodeller, investeringsstrategier, pensionsfonde, udbudsregler, grundstørrelser.

Vi dedikerer en aften til alt det, der i virkeligheden former byen — den usynlige by. På scenen vil førende byforskere, planlæggere og kunstnere dele indsigter og konkrete alternativer.
