Studio Copenhagen - Nordic Edge

How do Nordic cities cope with the new normal after COVID-19? The BLOXHUB stage in Copenhagen will explore how the health crisis will impact our efforts to build smart, resilient cities: What are the perspectives and trends for our urban development? Can we empower our citizens through digitization? What can the latest research on health in buildings tell us? And finally, how do we best activate public-private partnerships to develop the healthy city solutions we need?
