Creative Footprint Copenhagen is a research project by VibeLab with the support of PennPraxis and the city of Copenhagen, focusing on creative spaces and communities to study the cultural value and impact of music and nightlife in the city.

Over the period from July to September 2024, the Creative Footprint team hosted a series of focus groups and in-depth interviews to better understand the prevailing issues, challenges, and opportunities for nightlife in the city. By inviting all of Copenhagen’s nightlife actors to participate and engage in discussion, the team produced a richly detailed spatial analysis of nightlife venues in the city against demographic and economic datasets, uncovering insights into how nightlife is embedded in Copenhagen’s urban fabric.
