Albertslund Kommune

About Albertslund Kommune

Albertslund is Denmark's greenest municipality, well-located just west of Copenhagen. Over 60% of the municipality is covered by forest and green areas, and since 1992, the municipality has led the way in the environmental and climate sector. Albertslund was founded with good family life in mind and populated by young people moving out of Copenhagen in the 1960s. They sought light, air, and better welfare. And they found it – and worked together to create a very special town for children and families. It has been that way ever since... There are more kilometers of cycle paths than roads. There is an animal farm, a swimming lake, and a Viking village. There is music and theater. Children can try their talent in one of the over 300 clubs, at the Music School, or the Art School. There are over 150 playgrounds. A large forest, canals, two "mountains," and art where you least expect it. There are tunnels, bridges, and connections between the low houses and the green parks, between villages and residential areas, between curious children and active seniors, between play and learning. There is a children's festival week, festivals, and role-playing games in the green. In Albertslund, we reach for the future and create it together with others. We collaborate with the companies, citizens, and institutions that are wise and curious about what we are working on. We are not enough on our own. Therefore, we invite others into the town's development. We have always done so. Albertslund is a laboratory for urban development, where new solutions are developed and tested with a focus on energy efficiency – for the benefit of the individual citizen, the local environment, and the global climate... All of this makes Albertslund, in more than one sense, a modern and sustainable city and part of the Copenhagen metropolis, where it is pleasant to live and exist. Approximately 28,000 citizens are the living images that help create the good energy. There is an S-train right at the doorstep and a super cycle path between Albertslund and Vesterport in the heart of Copenhagen. Welcome to Albertslund - the sustainable city for children, the green, and communities.
