Project description

Name der Fallstudie
Dogme 2000

Description of context
Dogme 2000 has not been directly influenced of initiated by national or international regulation. Dogme 2000 is based on former local (municipal) policies and initiatives on sustainability, which have often been based on individual projects; the aim of Dogme is to make sustainability an ongoing policy. The participating municipalities have very different contexts (political, cultural, environmental, economic), which requires an openness in the Dogme concept.

Description of project - background
Dogme 2000 is a Danish network on sustainable urban development, established in 2000, having at the moment five members: The municipalities of Albertslund, Copenhagen, Ballerup, Herning and Fredericia. Dogme 2000 emerged from the municipality of Albertslund, who has in the last decades gained a reputation as a leading green municipality in Denmark, through a number of organizational innovations and environmental initiatives. The municipality conceptualised and initiated the Dogme-2000. The other members were included through existing political networks and contacts. In choosing potential members, municipalities with a green profile had a highest priority, but also it was aimed to broaden the network, in terms of the municipals location (geography), size and political colour.

Description of project - objectives/aims
The objectives of Dogme is formulated in 3 Dogmas:
1. All human impacts on the environment must be measured
2. A plan for environmental improvements has to be prepared
3. The Dogme 2000 must be embedded locally

This only concerns the environmental aspects of sustainability. As an urban sustainable policy, Dogme in principle covers all sectors.

Description of project - time interval and stages
Dogme was initiated in 2000, and is ongoing

Description of project - financing
The participating municipalities are financing Dogme themselves (payment depends on size the municipality)

Description of project - other sectors involved
In principle, all sectors are involved (energy, waste, water/sewage, green/blue, building and planning)
