Capital Region of Denmark
Capital Region of Denmark, Administrative region in eastern Denmark
The Capital Region encompasses Copenhagen and 28 other municipalities, spanning from the metropolitan area to northern Zealand and the island of Bornholm.
The establishment of the Capital Region in 2007 resulted from a national reform that consolidated 271 municipalities into 98 and replaced 13 counties with 5 regions.
Each municipality within the Capital Region maintains its own cultural centers, libraries, and educational institutions, contributing to Denmark's intellectual development.
The regional council manages healthcare services through a network of hospitals, including Rigshospitalet, and coordinates public transportation across all municipalities.
The region generates 40.6 percent of Denmark's GDP and maintains the Øresund Bridge connection to Sweden, facilitating international commerce and travel.
