Background
Planning in Denmark has been influenced by UK planning traditions. The original 1947 Plan for Copenhagen followed the Plans for London and Glasgow prepared by Sir Patrick Abercrombie in 1945 and 1946. The Copenhagen "Finger Plan" has influenced the planning of the CMR to the present day. The objectives now are to promote a more functional and better quality city with particular emphasis on public transport.
The CMR has 5 administrative units.
Københavns Amt (Copenhagen County Council) is both a municipal authority,
covering the central area, and a regional authority covering the whole
CMR.
The Copenhagen Finger Plan
The Finger Structure Plan provides for continued development around the railway stations of the S-train network where easy access can be sustained. The Finger Plan also provides for the continued protection of the green wedges between the fingers. Recreation opportunities will be expanded through woodland planting, improved access and the provision of facilities.
Planning at the national level in Denmark has placed emphasis on planning for the countryside, but there is a new focus on city and urban areas.
The inclusion of Sweden and Finland
in the EU has led to the possibility of strategic planning for the whole
Baltic area.
The Øresund link
An important component of this is the connection of Copenhagen and Malmo through the Øresund road and rail link. The Copenhagen/Malmo MR will have a population of 3 million, with 1.7m in the CMR.
Collector systems are being explored to allow the integration of S-train, regional and intercity train services in Denmark and Sweden. EU funding has been provided to enable cooperative development opportunities to be explored.
The "University Line" could allow
the closer integration of the Universities in Copenhagen and Lund (Sweden).
The Øresund link will also provide access to Copenhagen Airport
from Malmo.
The Copenhagen Mini Metro
A Mini Metro system is also being
developed to link Copenhagen city centre with the airport. The journey
time will be 15 minutes. The Mini Metro will also be integrated with the
S-train and national rail systems. The Mini Metro will also offer development
opportunities for the University, high tech industry, inward investment,
and new residential areas.
