We're onto the next phase of developing the structure and masterplan for Refshale?en!
As Copenhagen’s Refshale?en district evolves into a dynamic cultural hub, a critical question arises: How can we propel development without compromising the area's distinctive creative spirit?
In response to this challenge, we embarked on a journey into the realm of big data to shape a new urban design methodology.
Our proposal celebrates the district’s character, uniting urban nature and local communities, by unlocking the potential of big data and AI technology to inform and qualify the design drivers for developing the district without losing its creative edge.
Collaborating with Aalborg Universitet and Ramboll Management Consulting on the Ideas Competition for Refshale?en, we gathered evidence from various sources, including big data, geo-social insights, biodiversity metrics, existing building stock, and calculations derived from our Urban Decarb tool.
Our rich and multifaceted dataset included 35,000 Instagram posts posted on Refshale?en between 2012 and 2023, over 300,000 Facebook posts, 150,000 events in Copenhagen, and engagement from 600,000 unique, anonymous Facebook users.
Through this analysis, our Urban Impact team have identified a range of new design drivers to shape the future development of Refshale?en.
