With the aim of creating sustainable solutions, ‘Smart Aarhus’ is an initiative developed in order to create sustainable urban innovation and growth; a model based on involving stakeholders through partnerships. The city is a pioneer of smart city technologies such as using cutting-edge sensor technology to tackle peak traffic and reduce fuel consumption. The experiments and the ‘Smart City’-solutions are carried out by the Aarhus City Lab, which connects citizens behaviour with digital measurements, and by using data it makes the city more citizen-friendly. The primary focuses are mobility, parking, waste, digital art & culture, events, exhibitions, interactive installations, incentives for exercise and much more. This innovative approach earned the municipality of Aarhus a prize of 10.000 EUR in 2018 as ‘Runner-up’ at The European Capital of Innovation (iCapital) Awards, an annual European Union recognition prize awarded to the European cities that best promote innovation.More about “Smart Aarhus” at: https://smartaarhuseu.aarhus.dk/about-smart-aarhus/
