The document discusses Copenhagen's vision of becoming a smart city. It defines a smart city as one that thinks about how it works, adapts to challenges, learns, creates an attractive place to live and work, uses resources efficiently, controls infrastructure, works with private partners, and operates in a low carbon economy. Copenhagen aims to be a smart city by opening data, establishing smart city policies and plans, investing in urban development, and running smart city programs and projects in areas like growth, resources, mobility, and quality of life. It also wants to build a data marketplace and distribution system to improve decision making, partnerships, and coordinated development through data.
