Copenhagen opened its own data portal in 2013 — before it and dozens of other Danish municipalities pooled their data into the shared opendata.dk platform. It still lists 216 datasets today, mostly CC BY 4.0.

Copenhagen has published open data since 2013, first via its own data.kk.dk portal (established by the city's Technology and Environment Administration), later folded into the shared, dozens-of-municipalities opendata.dk/Open Data DK platform. The city now lists 216 datasets — traffic counts, street trees, urban fixtures, 3D city models — mostly CC BY 4.0 licensed, managed by Copenhagen Solutions Lab.
