Brønshøj-Husum, Residential district in northwestern Copenhagen, Denmark
Brønshøj-Husum is a residential district in northwestern Copenhagen that encompasses two former villages connected by Frederikssundsvej as the main route through the area. The neighborhood contains a mix of housing types, from single-family homes to apartment blocks, along with parks and local shopping areas.
The area originated as two independent villages that became connected through Copenhagen's urban expansion in the 20th century. This growth transformed the landscape from rural settlements into a planned residential district.
The district retains the character of its origins as two separate villages that merged over time into a single residential area. You can sense this dual identity in how different neighborhoods maintain their own local centers and gathering spaces.
Multiple bus lines connect the neighborhood to central Copenhagen, and Husum railway station is the only S-train stop in the area. These transit points serve as the main hubs for reaching other parts of the city.
The district contains some of Denmark's first high-rise residential buildings at Bellahøj and the planned community of Tingbjerg with its experimental layout. These mid-century housing projects represent different approaches to modern residential design.
