Kolding Municipality

Kolding Municipality is situated in the Triangle Area of Denmark, which is characterized as an area with much potential and growth. In order to meet all the possibilities the municipalitiy entails, a green and sustainable development is in focus. Kolding strives to be a pioneer municipality, as we were one of the first municipalities to initiate a strategic effort to reduce the consumption of electricity, water and heat in our own buildings. This kind of initiative is one we hope to keep, due to one of our leading positions within a sustainable city development.

Design is the future
Kolding Municipality’s vision is “We design life”, which means that we together as a municipality are designing opportunities for a better life through entrepreneurship, social development, education and knowledge. With 90.000 citizens Kolding Municipality wants to secure the best conditions for all, and through a holistic design approach implement sustainable initiatives. We are thereby working ambitiously and continuously to improve the path towards a sustainable future, which is ensured through different commitments and strategies.
