About

Copenhagen is an exemplary city. Exemplary in its successes. But also in the downsides that are starting to show. From a city which was in the early 1990s on the brink of bankruptcy, it has with neoliberal means undergone a tremendous transformation and is today coined as one of the best and most livable cities in the world. But the gains are increasingly outnumbered by noticeable losses. Today, social and economic divides between the haves and the have nots haunt both city and countryside, and more and more people are starting to ask whether the run-down city of the past was actually preferable.

Hans Christian Post Hans Christian Post (*1971) has since 2014 worked as a film maker. He holds a master’s degree and PhD in Modern Culture from the University of Copenhagen, and lives in Berlin and Copenhagen.

Special project

SAF: Summer Architecture Festival

The program’s seven films are stories of metropolises and small towns, architectural landmarks, and the people who reshaped cities and pioneered revolutionary ideas in design, construction, and urban planning. From the personal struggles and forgotten legacy of Eileen Gray to the quiet mastery of Renzo Piano, from Oslo’s vibrant dialogue between city and art to a critical look at Copenhagen’s ideals – these are stories of architecture told through human lives. →
