[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50px”][vc_column_text]My team and I have worked for several years to create public places where marginalised, exposed people can stay in positive co-existence with other groups – so-called bright design. At the same time, we are seeing more and more people making urban space design to keep these people away. So-called dark, strategic, homeless-hostile design. But how widespread is it actually in Copenhagen? Where is it and who has set it up?<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I want to use the walk to visit places in Copenhagen with dark or bright design intended to keep homeless people and other vulnerable people away or invite them in, respectively. Together with my team, we will map and photograph it and describe its context.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We start the tour by being shown around by Sami, a former homeless, from Gadens Stemmer (Voices of the Street), who for several years have stayed in Vesterbro as a socially exposed drug user. Along the way, we will invite homeless people, other vulnerable people as well as citizens we meet along the way to join us on smaller stretches and let them show their way to places they know that are either friendly and inclusive or represent dark design.<\/p>\n
