What is New Urban Voices?
New Urban Voices is a non-profit association based in Copenhagen.
We are an open, cross-disciplinary platform for rethinking the future of cities and the built environment.
We believe that urban planning should serve the public good and the long-term sustainability of our planet. We emphasize that today’s social, economic, and environmental challenges require new perspectives and collaborative solutions.
Our stance is both critical and constructive: we challenge the status quo while building alternatives that benefit society as a whole.
GET INVOLVED
Open Meetings: We meet on the first Tuesday of every month to share updates, exchange ideas, and start new projects.

When: First Tuesday of every month
New Urban Voices is a collaborative network of dedicated professionals
Through working groups, public events, and collaborative projects, we give voice to new ideas, critical perspectives, and creative visions for urban change.
The purpose
The purpose of NEW URBAN VOICES is to provide a dynamic platform for professionals and activists within the areas of spatial planning and the built environment to form working groups and give voice to constructive visions towards change. We do that on a foundation of three pillars.
New - Our stance
We believe urban planning and the built environment should focus on long term sustainable changes which benefit the public good and quality of life for all inhabitants, human and otherwise, of our habitats. We acknowledge the wickedness of societal issues, and emphasize that the economic, social, and environmental issues of our society require new cross-disciplinary perspectives.
Our stance in NEW URBAN VOICES is one of constructive criticism. We aim to challenge the status quo by building on, and bringing new life to, critical perspectives regarding the economic, societal, and ecological consequences of current solutions.
Urban - Our world
Urban environments have a history of being at the forefront of discussions regarding economic, social and ecological justice. However, urban environments are heavily reliant on, and closely interconnected with, systems outside the city. Cities cannot exist, or be understood, in isolation of the local and global ressources, ecosystems, human communities, and interspecies relations which make our way of life possible.
Our world in NEW URBAN VOICES reaches beyond the built urban environment as a solitary entity as attention must also be brought to the urban-rural interconnectedness, global systemic issues and the spatiality of our planet’s resources.
Voices - Our methodology
The demand for change, whether local or systemic, comes in many shapes.
Our methodology in NEW URBAN VOICES is to be a constructive incubator for a variety of expressions, visions, and ideas regarding change in the built environment
Ranging from text-production such as opinion-pieces, research papers and manifesto, to events, performances, exhibitions, film and podcasts.
