Sustainable urban development
Welcome to Copenhagen: one of the world’s most sustainable cities
In Copenhagen, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword – it's a way of life. At the forefront of this movement is the DGNB system, a comprehensive assessment of building sustainability. This system evaluates buildings and construction projects based on a set of criteria designed to promote environmental, economic, and social well-being.
​

In Copenhagen, addressing sea level rise has become a key focus of sustainable urban development. As climate change intensifies, cities worldwide are grappling with the challenge of managing rising water levels and the threat of flooding. It's imperative to devise robust and sustainable solutions that can adapt to these changing conditions while mitigating the risk of damage and loss.
​
At the forefront of this effort is the DGNB system, a comprehensive assessment tool for building sustainability. It evaluates projects based on environmental, economic, and social factors, offering a holistic perspective on construction practices. ArkiTours specializes in study tours of DGNB-certified projects in the Copenhagen region, providing participants with insights into innovative approaches to climate adaptation.
