Abstract
Kalundborg is expanding as educational and industrial hub, yet it faces challenges related to urban cohesion, social wellbeing, and student retention. This thesis aims understand the causes of these issues and investigate how Green-Blue Infrastructure (GBI) can be strategically implemented to improve spatial connections and social vibrancy, supporting the city’s evolving development opportunities. The study employs a mixed-methods approach that combines GIS analysis with citizen participation and placemaking principles to identify gaps and opportunities for GBI interventions. Findings show that small-scale GBI interventions can be strategically integrated in central Kalundborg’s existing infrastructure to improve spatial and social connections for its students, and achieving higher multifunctionality potential if developed with the surrounding urban context in mind.
