All Things Urban

arki_lab is an urban design and research firm based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

We have an extensive expertise in integrating citizen involvement in the design process, and our work is defined by a strong focus on democratic processes. We want to challenge the traditional urban planning processes and ensure that the development of our cities occurs as a collective effort. We are convinced that good cities are diverse and democratic cities which support, facilitate and nurture the community.

Are you enthusiastic about designing cities with people? arki_lab is looking for new interns who can be part of our interdisciplinary team for a minimum of 30-37 hours per week, where they get a feel of what hands-on work is about. We offer a fun and creative work environment, and the opportunity to experience many aspects of working in a small, fast-paced office in the heart of Copenhagen.

  stakeholders.

  citizen engagement and sustainable urban design.
