The Copenhagen Landscape Lectures is a public lecture series for everyone who is interested in how we shape our physical environment, across cities and landscapes, education and practice.


Restoring Nature, Rebuilding Community:
Reflections on 40 Years of Action Research

Public lecture by Anne Whiston Spirn, Professor of Landscape Architecture at MIT

Monday 16 September 2024, 17:00-18:30, Bülowsvej 17, Frederiksberg C, Festauditoriet

What would it mean for a city to be ecologically robust and socially just? What would such a place be like? Through what means might such a vision be accomplished? And how might change be created and sustained? These are not questions to be explored in the abstract. They call for action research, for testing ideas in practice, engaging with real people, in actual places, to make discoveries from which principles can be drawn.
