69: How can technology tackle air pollution in Copenhagen? (guest: Rasmus Reeh)

Welcome to the newest episode of Urbcast, in which we discuss: how can technology tackle air pollution in Copenhagen?

Why should we talk about it?

Currently, 1 in 10 deaths in Copenhagen relates at least partially to air pollution mainly from traffic sources. It happens although over 60% of citizens bike. Is technology and initiatives like the Copenhagen Air View project our rescue?
