Part 6/9:
Copenhagen’s commitment to smart city solutions is exemplified by initiatives like Copenhagen Solutions Lab, an incubator dedicated to developing and deploying innovative technologies. Its projects address issues such as air quality, waste management, and traffic congestion through data-driven approaches.
A key project, Street Lab, is a two-kilometer testing zone in downtown Copenhagen where new sustainability technologies are trialed under real-world conditions. For instance, sensors now measure air quality across streets, providing precise data to help identify pollution sources. The city is even experimenting with mounting sensors on Google Street View cars to monitor pollution levels across all neighborhoods.
