Context

Copenhagen Solutions Lab, running since 2014, is the City of Copenhagen's unit for testing and implementing data-driven urban solutions, partnering with universities and companies including Google, DTU and Cisco on air quality, energy and smart-city network projects.

Activities

The Lab ran the Copenhagen Air View project with Google (the first of its kind in Europe), an Energy Mapping and District Heating digitalisation pilot, and 'Thrive Zones' experiments that separated citizens from traffic to reduce local pollution exposure.

Results

Copenhagen Connecting won the World Smart City Award in 2014; a pilot in the Amager neighbourhood reduced air pollution by up to 13%; a 2018 survey found 66% of Copenhageners rated clean air as important or crucial to the city's attractiveness.
