The Municipality of Vejle was the first municipality in Denmark to form a policy for architecture. A policy, which is still used when developing the architecture of the city. Vejle also has a city architect, whose function is to secure that the architectural quality and aesthetics are of the highest standards in all projects created.
These initiatives together with a fundamental and year-long ambition and focus on architectural quality are an important part of the way the city and municipality are built Development of the city and the architecture must be connected with the challenges which need to be dealt with in the municipality - growth in population, historical traces, nature and climate changes -. The Municipality of Vejle is ambitious in creating synergy between those elements in order to create a better place to live.
