Technology and Environment seeks a Subject Coordinator/Mobility Planner for Roads and Public Spaces

The Department of Roads and Public Spaces (formerly Mobility) is seeking a planner who is passionate about connecting citizens' wishes and the council's visions for roads, paths and public spaces with concrete solution proposals

The mobility agenda occupies a great deal of political attention and for the individual Aarhus resident. There are therefore many wishes for the future of mobility and which considerations the design of our roads, paths and public spaces must be able to handle. Realising the green agenda, better accessibility on the overall road network, peaceful residential areas and many other topics are just some of the agendas that Roads and Public Spaces handles.
