In collaboration with #Novo Nordisk, “Lead Acengy, #Brains and a lot of others stakeholders ICM’s Associate Professor Karl-Heinz Pogner organized a #LivingCityLab at The Peoples’ Meeting (Folkemødet 2015) #FM15 on Bornholm. The lab has set #HealthyCityHealth on the agenda. The goal was as simple as to start a network for the development of the vision for a ' livable ' city.

"Come and work as CityZens", the participants were invited to join in an encouraging and, at the same time, also a bit challenging in the official program for the People’s Meeting. Many CityZens took the invitation up and worked solution-oriented with challenges to “design” a healthy and joyful citylife. The #HealthyCityHealth -lab was the first of its kind of a long line of so-called #LivingCityLabs to come up. The aim is to start a network to develop the vision of a livable city, where both tourists, the CityZens and city dwellers love to be, live and work. Next stop, by the way: Athens as #CulturalCityCulture…

The first #LivingCityLab took heavily advantage of one of the big strength of the People’s Meeting, namely that (the) people meet across political, social or educational borders – and talk, debate, and create together. At the lab leaders, managers, and administrators from both the public and private sectors as well as urban planners, architects, politicians, cyclists, pedestrians and polar swimmers – in short, urban dwellers and connoisseurs with needs, desires ideas for a healthy city. Instead of holding long debates, performed by politicians talking to (not with) each other, CityZens and other stakeholders in a socially, environmentally, physically and mentally, healthy and sustainable  city worked with specific (self-chosen challenges) in order to find concrete solutions - with the whole city as a laboratory. “Perhaps this was the most democratic contribution of Copenhagen Business School for society, business … and CityZens”, as Karl-Heinz Pogner said.
