Description
Aarhus Municipality, in partnership with the Alexandra Institute, Aarhus University and Central Denmark Regional Authority, will carry out a large-scale initiative called “Smart Aarhus”. Based on collaboration between citizens, public sector and the private operators, the initiative aims to transform the city into an open digital platform which will support re-use of government data, citizen engagement, co-creation, and public-private co-operation. The initiative will be allowed to evolve through an ongoing and open process in which all businesses, citizens and NGOs are invited to take part. The “Smart Aarhus” initiative will also contribute to making Denmark an international pioneer of openness, democracy, and innovation by participating in knowledge sharing and the exchange of case studies.
