From The Podcast Archive: Should We Make Cities for Insects?

The episode asks how designing with (and for) insects challenges aesthetic norms, maintenance culture, and anthropocentric planning.

May 19, 2026

Today at Halmtorvet 27, we’re hosting an event exploring how other species can become part of the political community.

So what better time to dive into the podcast archive for an episode on how to create cities where insects can actually thrive?

Among many other fascinating insights, you’ll learn how Copenhagen’s biggest electronic music festival - and its guests - help create ideal living conditions for the city’s insect populations.

On the episode you can meet:

Studio Coquille: Marion de Lingua de St Blanquat and Frederik Mads Svendsen. The architects behind The Habitable Skin, along with TERROIR, in collaboration with Lasse Carlsen and MYCO

Hjalte Calberg Ro-Poulsen: Biologist/entomologist/melittologist who conducts research, provides consultancy, and teaches about land and urban management based on the needs of wild bees and other insects at Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management, University of Copenhagen.

Urban infrastructure does merely mean roads, pipes, and buildings. Soil, water flows, trees, and fungi are infrastructure too.
