Connecting New York with Danish Cleantech
Solutions and Expertise

Approach: Co-creation is part of our DNA 

BLOXHUB is the innovation partner for this open call. BLOXHUB is a Copenhagen based Nordic Hub for sustainable urbanization. BLOXHUB members include 350 companies, science institutions, organizations and public bodies – all working with architecture, design, construction and tech. These are the pioneers who will be co-creation solutions with you.

Aim: Why are we doing this

Circular solutions in the built and urban environment is still an emerging movement, and we want to showcase how to take this forward. It is only by actually ‘doing’ we can prove how circularity can have both environmental and economic benefits. Through foundation sponsored programs, we are able to put action behind our intentions and offer this opportunity to match Nordic ideas with a visionary New York actor.

About the Challenge

The objective is to create this pocket of the Industrial Business Zone (IBZ) into a viable and vibrant neighborhood hub for the LIC community. Using light as a means of connectivity, 12th Street will be an “always on” neighborhood oasis with safety, function and enjoyment at its foundation. With strategic implementation of smart lighting systems, that bring people together, the Campus at 12th Street is primed to be an iconic destination for LIC and across the five boroughs. The challenge has been submitted by Long Island City Partnerships, International Nighttime Design Initiative and VOREA.

We task the Challenge respondents to propose two Living Lab themes within their pitch: a showcase for best practice public lighting – beyond the street pole-luminaire typical and to facilitate community-based placemaking research (refer to last section: Research and Resources).
