CITY X is an urban laboratory where children create their visions of Copenhagen. In CITY X children and youth work in cross disciplinary projects, where the city of Copenhagen is discussed and developed at eye level.
CITY X is a competence center for the involvement of children and youth in urban development processes in Copenhagen. CITY X is contacted when an area of the city is to be developed. Students from the neighborhood schools are working here with the same problems that preoccupy the city’s politicians and planners.
CITY X considers the city as a multidisciplinary platform that can only be understood and developed by combining different professional perspectives. In CITY X pupils work with themes that cut across disciplinary boundaries and create new connections. Students discuss and build projects and solutions through models, collages and plans. The results are collected in an exhibition or a catalog, which will be presented to the municipality as inspiration for urban development.
