On March 21, the Danish Ministry of Culture officially released the National Architecture Policy — a bold, future-facing framework that reimagines how we plan, build, and live in our cities. 🎉 💫 At the heart of this policy is a vision for a more sustainable, inclusive, and people-centered built environment — shaped over two years by a dedicated expert group. Gehl’s CEO and Founding Partner, Helle Søholt, served as the group’s spokesperson, playing a pivotal role in shaping its vision. 💡 Last week, the group handed over their white paper and recommendations to the Minister for Culture, Jakob Engel-Schmidt, at THORAVEJ 29, an architectural landmark in circular design. 🤝 This is just the beginning. The policy sets the foundation for coordinated national and local action, inspiring new approaches to planning, design, and collaboration across sectors. We’re proud to be part of this moment, and excited for what comes next. ✨ Read more about the National Architecture Policy here 👉 https://lnkd.in/d_QBFDUp Congratulations to the expert group for shaping this landmark policy 👏 🚀 Pil Thielst: Partner, Lundgaard & Tranberg Architects Ellen Braae: Professor of Landscape Architecture, University of Copenhagen Kent Martinussen: CEO, Danish Architecture Center Marie Stender: Senior Researcher, Aalborg University Ellen Højgaard Jensen: Former Director of The Danish Town Planning Institute and Lecturer at the Royal Danish Academy Lene Dammand Lund: Rector at the Royal Danish Academy Lars Autrup: CEO, Danish Association of Architects Anna Mette Exner: Owner of Anna Mette Exner Arkitektur Claus Sivager: City Architect, Frederiksberg Municipality Sigrid Dahlerup: Department Head, Ministry of Culture #architecturepolicy #urbandevelopment #sustainablecities #futureofcities #peoplecentereddesign
