By 2050, nearly 70% of the world’s population will live in cities, putting immense pressure on infrastructure, mobility, and resources. How can cities stay liveable, sustainable, and innovative under such growth?
Copenhagen and Malmö offer powerful answers:
- Denmark recycles over 45% of municipal waste, with the remainder often converted into energy.
- Malmö’s Western Harbour (Västra Hamnen) produces 100% of its energy from renewable sources, integrating solar, wind, and district heating.
- Both cities are global leaders in district heating systems, which already supply more than 60% of households in Denmark with efficient, low-carbon energy.
The International Certificate in Management and Innovation for Urban Infrastructure and Smart Cities, brings executives to the heart of these transformations. With a mix of expert sessions and technical visits, participants will experience first-hand how Nordic cities are building resilient, green, and people-centered urban systems.
