Abstract

As part of the 2014 fall semester study programme,
Studio Design and Social Innovation, from
the Aarhus School of Architecture, collaborated
with DemokraCityTM 1 on a community initiative
project to revitalise TILST, a town located on the
outskirts of Aarhus, Denmark.
DemokraCityTM is a private consultancy focusing
on urban social initiatives and co-creation design
projects that encourage citizens‘ community involvement,
commitment, and collaboration.
Initiated by the Aarhus City Council, „NEW
ANGLES ON TILST“ aims at involving residents
and local stakeholders directly in the development
and planning of the neighbourhoods in close
interaction with municipal staff and architects.
Located approximately 10 km west of Aarhus, Tilst
is a suburban area with large city blocks and traditional
residential areas. The area has an unofficial
reputation as a dormitory town and is known to
have problems with misdemeanour crimes and
vandalism due to social class segregation.
