Bevæg byen: Med børn, unge og seniorer

"Move the City - With Children, Adolescence and Seniors" focuses on how, by changing or improving the city's space, we can promote physical activity, social gathering or healthier lifestyles of people based on the local community. The knowledge presented in the anthology is based on an interdisciplinary research collaboration conducted from 2016 to 2020 by three higher education institutions in Denmark. To this end, a new, multidisciplinary network was established under the name Activity- and health-enhancing Physical Environments Network (APEN).

The anthology presents parts of the results of the collaboration. It is hoped that it can inspire others in Denmark to include all age groups in planning and possibly. design and construction of residential and institutional outdoor areas. The goal is to help bridge the gap between the various professionals, researchers and practitioners who are each interested in how urban communities and neighborhoods can be more developed into meaningful "places" that reduce social, mental and spatial inequality.

The target groups for the publication are thus architects, planners, Danish municipalities, professionals, social housing associations, researchers, architecture and university students, primary school classes and last but not least, the interested, curious and eager citizen.
