Henning Larsen has launched an initiative in Esbjerg, Denmark, to rethink urban spaces with a focus on teenage girls. In collaboration with various organizations and supported by significant funding, the project responds to the oft-overlooked needs of this demographic in urban planning. Aimed at exploring how co-creation can yield more inclusive environments, it builds on research from the Urban Minded framework. The initiative aims to actively involve teenage girls in designing public spaces, addressing their mental well-being and fostering a sense of belonging as cities evolve.
"Urban spaces significantly impact well-being, yet they frequently do not reflect the needs of teenage girls. This project ensures their experiences and perspectives shape the outcome, prioritizing their needs in a meaningful way."
The project aims to address the unique challenges faced by teenage girls by involving them in the design process of public spaces, thereby enhancing inclusivity.
