Listening to a Place from a Multispecies Perspective Through Aesthetic Practices in Herlev
摘要
This chapter describes the arts and urban development project “The Garden Caretaker”, an interdisciplinary project that connects artistic practice, architecture, citizen involvement, urban development, and the multispecies perspective. The project takes place in Herlev, on the outskirts of Copenhagen, Denmark. Through its activities, “The Garden Caretaker” fosters connections among humans, non-humans, and their shared local environment. The project serves as a demonstrator site for the NEB lighthouse Desire—Designing the irresistible circular society initiative, exploring how fields of aesthetics, urban planning and biodiversity contribute to a greener, more inclusive urban transition.
