Comparative Analysis of Three Innovative Housing Models in Copenhagen for Social Mix
(2020) Bican, Nezih Burak
Copenhagen has been attracting residents both from abroad and other regions of Denmark, embracing a comprehensive development plan following an economic boom since the 1990s. Local decision-makers have been striving to transform the housing stock of the city in line with the evolving demographics of the city and consequent new demands of the urban society. At the same time, people are seeking cheaper and flexible alternatives of living; thus, social housing (almen bolig) emerges as an affordable option with reasonable qualities for Copenhagen residents. This study uses a comparative analysis to evaluate spatial approaches of three innovative social housing models developed by partnerships of some non-profit housing associations with Copenhagen municipality in 2015. Each model has a distinct motto; Generationernes Byhus (GBYH) builds up neighbourhood across generations; Boliger for Alle (BOFA) provides opportunity of transition across ownership types; and Almene Storbyboliger (ASBB) creates flexible/plastic system addressing demographical structure under change. Methodologically, the research is based on interviews with key stakeholders and in-depth analysis of visual and written documents. It provides a comparative analysis of the models, concentrating particularly on dwelling design approaches which address social mix and diversity. The paper concludes that although the social housing market is strictly controlled for socio-economic reasons, it still has the potential to support the evolution of the urban demography of Danish society thanks to embracement of innovative perspectives both by governmental authorities and forerunning housing associations.

A NEW METHODOLOGY FOR ANALYSIS OF SPATIAL INTERVENTIONS TOWARDS SUSTAINABILITY IN SOCIAL HOUSING REGENERATION - THE CASE OF GYLDENRISPARKEN IN COPENHAGEN (1)
(Middle East Technical Univ, 2020) Bican, Nezih Burak
Housing settlements have been regenerated in recent decades across the world, particularly those built in Europe for social purposes in the post-war period. As unique sets of problems accumulate in each case, interventions tend to address individual issues of different scales and localities. This study aims to contribute to housing research with a focus on the regenerative spatial interventions of urban design and architecture and their tangible reflection on sustainability. The research work, including related documentation reviews and interviews with critical stakeholders, examines in detail a regeneration case of social housing estate in Copenhagen - Gyldenrisparken - regarded as an international best practice. The estate was a settlement built in the 1960s, legally listed as 'ghetto' in the 2000s, and regenerated between 2004 and 2015 through an unprecedentedly collaborative project in Denmark. Exploring the regeneration of social housing through the concepts of liveability, place making, and sustainability, this study introduces a methodological tool which solidifies in form of a three-dimensional matrix accompanied by perspective illustrations in three scales. By this means, it registers and classifies each individual spatial intervention, discovers the relations among them and their intended goals, and builds up a new basis of knowledge for later regenerations. The tool developed bridges the theory of sustainability with the practice of regenerative design, while providing a basis of systematization and comparison for other cases aiming future implementations and decision-makers of different scales.
