The “Timeline” project in Køge Nord explores applied archaeology as a tool for community engagement and co-creation. It connects past and present by involving local citizens in the archaeological process. This approach aligns with my focus on creating environments that foster engagement and connections across time, linking cultural heritage with contemporary urban life.
