Abstract
This master’s thesis explores how cities can bring food production closer to everyday urban life. It proposes turning a single-use parking structure in Aalborg into a multifunctional cultivation center. The aim is to regenerate an underused site so it becomes a local catalyst that supports city life. The project investigates how sustainable and innovative cultivation methods can be integrated into existing urban infrastructure to supply food within the city. It also examines how the center can host educational activities that build food literacy, helping residents understand where food comes from and how modern food systems are organized. By blending agriculture with the cityscape, the thesis outlines a practical and educational place that both produces food and invites people to reconnect with the systems that make food available in urban areas.
Denne kandidatafhandling undersøger, hvordan fødevareproduktion kan bringes tættere på byens hverdag. Den foreslår at omdanne et monofunktionelt parkeringsanlæg i Aalborg til et multifunktionelt dyrkningscenter. Målet er at give et underudnyttet sted nyt liv, så det bliver en lokal katalysator for bylivet. Projektet undersøger, hvordan bæredygtige og innovative dyrkningsmetoder kan integreres i eksisterende byinfrastruktur for at levere mad i byen. Det ser også på, hvordan centret kan rumme undervisningsaktiviteter, der styrker food literacy—altså viden om, hvor maden kommer fra, og hvordan moderne fødevaresystemer fungerer. Ved at kombinere landbrug og byrum skitserer afhandlingen et praktisk og lærende sted, der både producerer mad og inviterer borgere til at genopdage de systemer, der gør mad tilgængelig i urbane områder.
