1 CONTEXTUALIZING 2 FOCUSING
Phase 1 . Contextualising - Taking one step back
The first phase has a backwards perspective ; it is about getting the bigger picture , ‘ sensing ’ what is going on . The task is to let the daily work rest , and reflect upon the messy realities of mobility planning . It is about why things in mobility planning are the way they are , and how they came to be . It is also about looking into other cases where something special has been achieved and understanding what has favoured the emergence of those experiments . This can concern both special single experiments , or more overarching living laboratory approaches in other cities . The single tasks are interwoven with evaluating what all of this implies for Nordhavnen .
Phase 2 . Focusing - Getting first common ground for a living laboratory
In this next phase the goal is to arrive at a first yet profound understanding of where pivotal points for operating a living laboratory in Nordhavnen might be located . This includes to carry the results from phase 1 together and try to identify connections and relations between them . Performing this exercise is a first step of moving from being reactive ( e . g . “ the problem of congestion in Copenhagen is still increasing , we have to increase the road capacity ”) to proactive and anticipative ( e . g . “ congestion is a current phenomenon , which might weakened due to trend XY by itself ”). It also includes the sharing of these understandings , in order to level the ground for the strategy to be carried commonly . The outcome of this phase is a first initial understanding what a living laboratory in Nordhavnen could look like .
