Copenhagen's Contribution to Open Data DK

Copenhagen has published open data since 2013, first via its own data.kk.dk portal (established by the city's Technology and Environment Administration), later folded into the shared, dozens-of-municipalities opendata.dk/Open Data DK platform. The city now lists 216 datasets — traffic counts, street trees, urban fixtures, 3D city models — mostly CC BY 4.0 licensed, managed by Copenhagen Solutions Lab.
