| Abstract: |
From small footpaths to large ocean spans, bridges connect people, reduce travel time, and generate economic opportunity. Successful mobility solutions strengthen social cohesion and provide a strong sense of place to local communities. Today’s infrastructure must deliver an ever- increasing list of ESG outcomes. Within complex infrastructure value chains, architects can collaborate with engineering partners to prioritize social sustainability and centre the human user within the design process. Dissing+Weitling presents three bridges across a spectrum of functions to demonstrate how design can be a key driver of social impact and sustainability outcomes. Together, the Great Belt Bridge, Køge Nord Station, and Copenhagen Bicycle Snake present a case for bridge design as social value drivers through landmark placemaking, improvement of urban life, and universal design. |
