Copenhagen is what it has always been, except today it now offers so much more. The city is still a cosy, intimate and peaceful city where traces of the past centuries are still visible in its buildings, squares and streets. But Copenhagen has also become an international, hectic and dynamic city with a rich cultural, commercial and educational environment.

Copenhagen is Denmark's only major city and also the country's capital, with the parliament, government, and monarchy all situated in the hearth of the city. Copenhagen is also the centre of an extensive metropolian area and the Øresund Region, with a population and workforce transcending local, regional and national boundaries.

All these contrasts serve to make Copenhagen a dynamic and living city.

	From marsh to metropolis
	New life in old buildings
	The Port - back at the heart of the city
	Building for the future with respect for the past
	Growth and cultural prosperity
	Bottom-up democracy and citizen involvement
