From Yellow Cornfields to Green Megawatts

Planning Challenges in connection with Solar Energy

Denmark is facing a green energy revolution that will radically change our use of land. It is one of the biggest planning challenges in recent times and it is urgent to find space for efficient and renewable energy facilities. But if Denmark is to become a beautiful, green power plant, we must find new and smarter ways to manage our land. Cause smart land management and happy coexistence with new energy-producing landscapes require other considerations than just space, profitability, and low operating costs.

Based on selected cases workshop participants will work on formulating an overall vision and a series of ideas and instructions based on two different tracks:

• The planning track: How can overall energy planning for a municipality look like? What aesthetic and landscape considerations, legal bindings and other considerations must and can form the basis of long-term and robust physical planning?
• The partnership track: What common vision and what common goals can be set? Which partnerships must be entered that enable an alternative placement of future solar parks?

The workshop is organized by BLOXHUB in collaboration with Schønherr Landscape Architects as a facilitated process with the participation of a wide circle of public and private stakeholders to ensure that the ideas are developed in the intersection between the greatest possible interdisciplinary and different interests.

As a participant, you will actively participate in group exercises and discussions, work with specific cases and get inspiration from selected speakers.
