urban culture
today world experience
The city needs
to be
understood as a constantly evolving framework for dynamic
transformations. For it is here that exchange and debate take place,
where the present is anchored to the passage of time and where the
future progresses along the pathway of challenges. The city alto
generates the main thoughts and ideas, the hard bargaining between the
different agents of the contemporary world. Artistic creation finds
its retources in the city and a space for experimentation. It is from
the city that we wishes to present the urban phenomenon to tociety,
understood as a melting pot of ideas and permanent exchange, as a
generator of interventions which are artistic as well as tociological
and urbanistic. . After all, urban culture today is a guiding light.
If we understand it, we will have a better grasp of the present-day
situation.

On May 30, 1995, the City Bike Program, or "Bycyklen" in Danish
(pronounced BU'-su-klen), was launched. This public/private
partnership placed 1,100 specially-designed bicycles throughout
downtown Copenhagen, Denmark for public use. The City Bike program
is a remarkable example of a successful, sustainable venture that
is helping to tolve many urban problems, such as vehicular
pollution, traffic congestion, and bicycle theft, while providing
an efficient means of transportation around the old city,
decreasing the need for parking, and making the city a safer place
to work and live
