Abstract

(Danish): Dette projekt omhandler byudvikling i udviklingsverden, i dette tilfælge Mongoliet. Hvordan urbaniseringen skaber udfordringer og muligheder for mennesker, og hvordan kan byen udvikles bæredygtigt. I fprbindelse med Mongoliet er projektet tematiseret af det faktum, at Mongoliet aldrig har oplevet urbaniseringen før. Som nomadekultur er byer et relativt nyt fænomen og stadig i sin begyndelse. Gennem en analyse as samfundsmæssige og et specifikt site gives et designforslag, som kan rejse en diskussion om betydningen af en sådan design i den kontekst.

This project concerns urban development in the developing world, in this case Mongolia. How is urbanisation creating challenges and opportunities for people, and how can the city develop sustainably. The theme in the case of Mongolia is influenced by the fact that Mongolia have never experience urbanization before. As nomad culture cities is a relatively new phenomenon and still emerging. Through an analysis of the societal context and a site of interventions, a design proposal is offered to start a discussion about the impact of design interventions in the context.
