Gellerup tells the story of one of the most ambitious and controversial urban development projects in Danish history. Following the development from the early plans for Gellerup, taking shape in the 1950s, right up to the present day, when the district has become a symbol of the housing challenges that followed in the wake of the planning of the time. Today, the district is undergoing a major transformation and a whole new narrative of Aarhus is taking shape. Gellerup can be used as a prism to understand Danish architectural and housing policy.
