Abstract: The study addresses processes of urban formation and aestheticization with the point of departure in the self-organizing activist community in Copenhagen, "The Free Town of Christiania". The working hypothesis of the study is that an actualization of urban activist practices of representation will lead to a different conception of spatial development than the one presently dominating the field of urban planning.
