The Technical and Environmental Administration

The Technical and Environmental Administration carries out the tasks for which the Technical and Environmental Committee is responsible. The mayor of the Technical and Environmental Administration is the head of the Administration, whereas the board of directors handles the day-to-day management.

The essential tasks of the Administration are authorities processing within the environmental and the roads and traffic field, district planning, urban renewal and processing of building projects. In addition, the Administration handles the cleaning and maintenance of the roads and parks of Copenhagen as well as parking control.
The City’s cemeteries also belong under the Technical and Environmental Administration.

Our vision is that Copenhagen should have the world’s best city environment and a unique urban life, and our values focus on trust, openness and a comprehensive view. We are a unitary administration which aims at incorporating an integrated approach to our tasks, and each and everyone of us makes a difference in an open and trusting atmosphere.
