The City of Copenhagen is spearheading CULTIGEN, a Europe-funded initiative poised to reshape sustainable tourism by integrating innovative digital solutions and inclusive governance models. Running from December 2024 to May 2028 with a budget of 35 million DKK, CULTIGEN addresses the critical balance between tourism growth and local community quality of life through tools like the Urban Listening Tool, neighborhood interventions, and citizen engagement blueprints. This project is crucial for ensuring that more EU cities can emulate its successes, thereby fostering urban cooperation and policy improvement across the continent.
