Bevica Fonden has entered into a partnership with the Danish Association of Architects on the five-year national initiative “Architecture Policy in All Danish Municipalities”. The aim is to strengthen municipalities’ work with local architecture policies and increase knowledge of the significance of the built environment for sustainable urban development, well-being and community. At the same time, the partnership will help promote universal design as a tool for creating more inclusive buildings and urban spaces with dignified access for all.

Katrine Østergaard Bang is a consultant at the Danish Association of Architects and project manager for the project "“Architecture Policy in All Danish Municipalities”.
