In 2023, the highest levels of quality of life in Denmark was found in small towns with less than 10,000 inhabitants. Quality of life levels in Denmark decreased from 2018 to 2023, which must be seen in relation with the COVID-19 pandemic and the rising inflation rates.

The island Zealand is Denmark's largest, with a size of 7,031 square kilometers. The country's Capital Copenhagen is located on the island. In fact, much of Denmark consists of islands, and bridges connect many of them with each other. Moreover, the is a bridge connecting Copenhagen, Denmark to Malmö, Sweden, over the Öresund strait. Denmark's second largest island is the North Jutlandic Island. Jutland is ultimately a peninsula, but its northern part is cut off by a fjord that runs straight through the peninsula. The third largest city in the country, Odense, is located on the third largest island, Funen.

In 2022, the highest number of reported criminal offences was registered in Denmark's largest cities. The highest number was reported in the Capital Copenhagen, with nearly 87,000 cases. By comparison, Aarhus, the city with the second highest number of reported crimes, only had 32,000, followed by Odense at 17,000. Meanwhile, the municipality of around 40,000 reported crimes in 2022 was unknown. The number of reported criminal offences in Denmark generally correlates with the size of the cities.

In 2018, more than 25 percent of the respondents based in the Capital Region of Denmark found that cheaper accommodation would improve their local area. For this group of respondents, cleaner air was also on the list of things that would improve their surroundings. For the respondents bases in rural and smaller cities, a broader range of shopping opportunities was mentioned as something that would make their local area more attractive.

The significant amount of secondary materials stocked in products, buildings, and infrastructures has directed increasing attention to urban mining and circular economy. Circular economy strategies and activities in the construction industry are, however, often hindered by a lack of detailed knowledge on the type, amount, and distribution of secondary materials in the urban built environment. In this study, we developed such an urban resource cadaster through an integration of the geo-localized, bottom-up material stock analysis with primary data on building material intensity coefficients for a case of Odense, the third largest city in Denmark that is undergoing major construction works. We quantified the total amount and spatial (including vertical) distribution of 46 construction materials stocked in buildings (residential and nonresidential), roads, and pipe networks (wastewater, water supply, and natural gas). In total, 66.7 megatons (or 329 tons per capita) of construction materials are stocked in Odense, in which aboveground stock only makes up for a third of the weight but hosts a wide variety of materials. This urban resource cadaster at high resolution can inform a variety of stakeholders along the value chain of the construction industry to better plan for construction materials and component recovery and smart waste management.

The share of urban population in Denmark saw no significant changes in 2023 in comparison to the previous year 2022 and remained at around 88.5 percent. Still, the share reached its highest value in the observed period in 2023. The urban population refers to the share of the total population living in urban centers. Each country has their own definition of what constitutes an urban center (based on population size, area, or space between dwellings, among others), therefore international comparisons may be inconsistent.Find more key insights for the share of urban population in countries like Finland and Sweden.

Reaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement not only requires ambitious goals from national governments, but also the active participation of local municipalities. It is in cities where climate actions need to be implemented to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reach international and national climate goals. While the importance of cities and their participation in networks has been well-researched, studies have systematically neglected the committed individual agents in small and medium-sized cities and overlooked the importance of national networks. To address these research gaps, this article looks at how local climate managers use their municipality's membership in national networks to increase action and implementation. This article is based on 12 semi-structured interviews with seven municipal representatives and five representatives of two national city networks, and four informal discussions. Through comparative content analysis, it was identified that the main functions derived from network participation are direct exchanges between the climate managers, mobilization of others in the municipality, accounting of greenhouse gas emissions, and project support. These functions helped overcome key limitations that the actors often faced within the municipality related to a lack of legal competences, administrative resources and internal support for climate work and financial resources. This has implications for city networks which have been focusing on larger cities and not including smaller cities who have less capacity and who can benefit the most from the functions provided by them.

This statistic shows the result of a survey on the main reasons why foreign culture tourists travel to Copenhagen, Aarhus, Odense and Aalborg in Denmark in 2017.

The same share of foreign culture tourists (81 percent) go there for local attractions as well as the Danish culture itself as their main travel reasons.
