Informal Coexistence and Amenities for All: Democratic Urban Spaces in the Nordic Countries

Publications: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingBook chapterCommunication

Abstract

The Nordic welfare state is quite central to the discussion of architecture and urban space. The spaces of the city must manifest the welfare state's vision of creating settings for the activities of free, equal human beings. But how does the development of Nordic collective space look when it is challenged by globalization and individualization?
