A free, data-driven audio walk developed with the University of Copenhagen, exploring the 'invisible' technology and sensors that shape the city's health and sustainability.

The Copenhagen Datawalk is a unique, educational audio tour that reveals the hidden data infrastructure of the city. Developed in collaboration with the University of Copenhagen’s School of Global Health, the tour focuses on how “smart city” technology—from traffic sensors to water quality monitors—is used to improve urban living. It’s a fascinating look at the intersection of technology, urban planning, and public health.

The tour consists of eight stops, each featuring an audio story (also available as text) and an interactive quiz. You’ll learn about how pedestrian flow is tracked on Dronning Louises Bro, how environmental zones monitor vehicle emissions, and how real-time data predicts harbor water safety. The experience is flexible, allowing you to visit the stops in any order, though starting at the bridge is recommended.

As a free tour, it’s highly accessible, but it does have some technical limitations. Unlike many other StoryHunt tours, it requires a continuous internet connection and does not support offline downloads. It’s best suited for those interested in technology, sustainability, or the future of urban design who don’t mind using their mobile data while walking.
