DESCRIPTION:Few animals are as notorious as the rat. Yet it was not until
  the second half of the 19th century that the rat was firmly identified a
 s a threat to public health and an enemy of society. This was prompted by
  new scientific insights and the emergence of modern cities.\n\nThroughou
 t the 20th century\, rat control became more systematic and efficient as 
 the welfare state developed. But the rat was not so easily eradicated. Th
 e city’s dense buildings\, infrastructure and quantities of readily acc
 essible rubbish created ideal living conditions for an animal that is vir
 tually omnivorous\, an accomplished climber and swimmer\, and equipped wi
 th teeth so sharp that it can gnaw through anything softer than glass and
  metal.\n\nIn this talk\, Mikkel Høghøj\, curator at Danmarks Tekniske 
 Museum\, tells the story of how the rat helped shape modern Copenhagen\, 
 how rat control emerged as a welfare policy\, how Copenhagen has served a
 s a rat habitat\, and how the rat has influenced Copenhageners’ expecta
 tions of health\, hygiene and the role of nature in the city.\n\nIllustra
 tion: Posters from Landsudvalget for Rottebekæmpelse\, 1950 and 1968\, R
 igsarkivet.
