Urban Talks: Mette Skjold, SLA
Why do we need nature in cities?
How can parks and urban forests help address problems in cities, rather than serving only as decoration? One source of inspiration is the planned 30-hectare Nordør park in the Copenhagen district of Nordhavn. The design studio SLA, which focuses on nature, is designing Nordør on land that has been part of an industrial port for over a hundred years and served as a storage area for construction soil. This history has created a distinctive, uneven terrain that has allowed for the emergence of spontaneous natural habitats over time. The project is based on the environment that has naturally developed here, and it is also designed to capture more CO₂ than it produces.
A presentation by Mette Skjold, senior partner, architect, and CEO of SLA, will show how knowledge about environmental challenges can be turned into concrete actions. Instead of delaying progress with further analyses, the studio advocates for the immediate implementation of real nature-based solutions.
The event is held in collaboration with CCEA MOBA.
