CULTIGEN COPENHAGEN - EUI INNOVATION ACTION
My Knowledge Outputs
After having assisted the City of Copenhagen and its Partners throughout the design and preparation of CULTIGEN in 2023, since December 2024 I support the project as EUI IA-Expert.
As one of Europe’s fastest growing metropolitan destinations, the City of Copenhagen faces a pressing need to manage tourism flows sustainably and prevent over-tourism. In response, they launched CULTIGEN, creating a community-driven, data-centric governance model to balance local and visitor interests. A participatory photo-voice app combines quantitative and qualitative data and generates insights on urban experiences. Supported by local ambassadors, CULTIGEN promotes tourism dispersion, enhancing the cultural appeal of non-central neighbourhoods and boosting local economies. Overall, the aim is to foster sustainable, inclusive balanced tourism.
