The Lab is based at the Faculty of Humanities, which is a part of the University of Copenhagen. The main focus of Urban Culture Lab is to bring together scholars of urban culture, cities, livability and urbanity.^[1]^[2] The Lab is headed by associate professor Henrik Reeh.^[3]^[4]

Activities

Since its formation, Urban Culture Lab has conducted a number of public seminars showcasing current studies in Urban Culture within the Faculty of Humanities.^[5] Researchers affiliated with the Lab has also made public appearances as experts within the field of urban culture and livability - examples of such appearances include radio shows^[6] and videos.^[7]

During Euroscience Open Forum 2014 in Copenhagen (ESOF2014)^[8] Urban Culture Lab contributed with a number of panels and sessions focusing on themes such as urbanity and livability.^[9]^[10] In relation to Copenhagen being named the world's most liveable city by Monocle in 2014^[11] Urban Culture Lab arranged a cross-disciplinary scientific panel at ESOF2014 in order to discuss livability as a concept.^[9] The Lab also conducted a project during the conference named Sense of Cycling (Sense of Cycling). The project examined a diversity of bicycling practices and perceptions by inviting a number of participants to conduct fieldwork within the city of Copenhagen. The key findings were presented at a public seminar during ESOF2014.^[12]^[13]

Urban Culture Lab is also part of the interdisciplinary and international master programme 4Cities.^[14] The programme is a UNICA Euromaster with a focus on urban studies and is organised as a collaboration between 6 European universities.^[15] Students enrolled in the programme spend a semester in four different cities,^[16] and Urban Culture Lab's chairman Henrik Reeh and affiliated researcher and professor Martin Zerlang are responsible for the University of Copenhagen's part in this programme.^[17]

Urban Culture Lab is run by a steering committee with representatives from eight departments at the Faculty of Humanities and the deanery: Associate professor Henrik Reeh is the chairman of this committee.^[3] The Lab also has a number of affiliated researchers conducting research in a number of different areas related to urban culture.^[18]
