Abstract

This master’s thesis explores how urban development can be informed by user involvement in the context of Hobro’s harbourfront. The goal is to create urban spaces that are not only resilient and functional but also rooted in local identity. The thesis is divided into two reports. The first outlines the theoretical framework, methodology, analysis, conclusion, and reflection. The second presents the design outcome: a strategic development plan for the harbourfront, a detailed design proposal for a selected area, and recommendations for future user involvement. Through user engagement, site analysis, and iterative design, the thesis proposes a development strategy that integrates adaptive coastal infrastructure with cultural and recreational spaces, emphasizing the value of inclusive planning and community engagement.
