This thesis is written at the Urban Design department
of the faculty for Architecture & Design at Aalborg
University, Denmark. The project is focusing on how
urban planning and cityscape design can affekt
the citizens to become more physically active. The
design-part of the project takes base in the small
village Svenstrup near Aalborg. The village is
consisting mainly of single-family houses and the
size and structure is very common in Denmark. This
city is chosen as it represents exactly the way the
main population of Denmark lives. Most work on the
topic “activating cityscapes” is focusing on larger
cities. With this thesis we wish to give our proposal
for a design that activates the residents of smaller
villages.
The first part of the thesis consists of two chapters:
THEME and CASE.
The THEME chapter gives a theoretic understanding
for physical activities and exercises in the cityscape.
This knowledge gives a common framework to work
with during the rest of the project. The CASE chapter
contains a presentation and in-depth place-analysis
of the village Svenstrup. This maps the village’s
challenges and potentials in relation to wellness,
exercise and physical movement for its residents.
Second part of the thesis consist of another two
chapters: CONCEPT and DESIGN.
CONCEPT is based on a range of parameters
deducted from the first part of the thesis. These
parameters are combined into a “movement-design”
in the 1:15000 scale. DESIGN describes specific parts
of the movement-design further with plans, sections
and diagrams in the two scales 1:1000 and 1:200.
