Built in 10 years in the 1960’s, the city of Albertslund is a young municipality based on the ideals of the welfare state, political engagement and town planning on a human scale. Albertslund has a strong tradition of leading the way with innovative and ambitious green solutions. Through triple helix partnerships with leading companies and researchers, Albertslund today offers itself as a living lab for demonstrating tomorrow’s solutions for sustainable cities and green business development. In recent years, focus has been especially on developing a large scale living lab for intelligent lighting and smart city solutions.
