The countryside is more than nature and farming. Cultural diversity is as necessary for human kind as biodiversity is for nature. Mathilde Kirkegaard, an urban designer from Aalborg University, spoke of how she explored various ways to manage and safeguard cultural heritage in her PhD project. She conducted this through an experimentation in place-based, citizen-driven, and process-oriented development of Ebeltoft fishing harbour. Furthermore, Lea Holst Laursen, Associate Professor in Urban Design at Aalborg University, among others, has opened a debate on future directions for rural spatial development in Denmark.
