Abstract
Hyppige skybrud i København har tydeliggjort behovet for at gentænke håndteringen af regnvand fra lukkede ledningssystemer til mere åbne, integrerede løsninger, hvor byrum og borgerinddragelse spiller en central rolle. Dette speciale undersøger, hvilke gevinster og barrierer planlæggere møder, når de forsøger at integrere placemaking i skybrudshåndtering, og hvordan både praksis og system kan understøtte en mere effektiv integration. Undersøgelsen tager udgangspunkt i et casestudie af Tåsinge Plads i Skt. Kjelds Klimakvarter i København og anvender kvalitative interviews og storytelling som metode til at belyse social kapital, lokal forankring og oplevet stedstilknytning. Resultaterne peger på væsentlige fordele ved inddragelse af placemaking: adgang til lokal viden, styrket lokalt ejerskab og ansvar samt lettere accept af projekter i nabolaget. Samtidig fremhæves udfordringer som tidskrævende borgerprocesser, vanskeligheder ved at overbevise om places multifunktionalitet, omfattende bureaukrati i offentlig‑privat samarbejde og divergerende forståelser af placemaking mellem planlæggere og borgere. Specialet anbefaler bl.a. at give adaptive fagfolk større procesansvar og at sikre gennem lovgivning, at vandforsyning og -håndtering forbliver offentlige opgaver, for at nedbryde barrierer og styrke koblingen mellem klimatilpasning og levende byrum.
Frequent cloudburst events in Copenhagen have highlighted the need to shift stormwater management from closed underground systems to more open, integrated solutions where public spaces and citizen involvement are central. This thesis investigates the benefits and barriers planners encounter when integrating placemaking into stormwater management, and how practice and governance can support more effective integration. The study uses a case study of Tåsinge Plads in the Skt. Kjelds Climate Neighborhood (Klimakvarter) in Copenhagen, applying qualitative interviews and storytelling to assess social capital, local anchoring, and sense of place. Findings point to key advantages of placemaking: access to local knowledge, strengthened local ownership and responsibility, and smoother community acceptance. At the same time, challenges include time‑consuming participation processes, difficulties convincing residents of a place’s multifunctional purpose, extensive bureaucracy in public‑private collaboration, and differing understandings of placemaking between planners and citizens. The thesis recommends, among other measures, giving adaptive experts greater responsibility for the planning process and pursuing legislation that ensures water provision and management remain public tasks, thereby reducing barriers and better linking climate adaptation with vibrant public places.
