Do you remember the city where the United Nations Climate Change Conference was held in 2009? It was Copenhagen and the conference was known as the Copenhagen Summit. Copenhagen is the capital and most populous city of Den-mark. Located on the islands of Zealand and Amager, the city lies at the southern end of the Sound, a strait that forms the Danish-Swedish border. The city’s centre is Radhuspladsen, otherwise known as the City Hail Square. The earliest historical records show that there was urban life in Copenhagen from the 12th century onwards. When Hitler occupied Denmark in the 1940s, Copenhagen was affected severely. However, after the war, the city has been rebuilt. Today, Copenhagen is one of the most modern cities in the world.
Amager Strandpark, a long artificial island was built in 2005 in the city. Copenhagen’s economy is largely dependent on services and commerce. Another major contributor to the city’s economy is tourism. There are a large number of parks, gardens and zoos in Copenhagen. The historic centre of the city, Indre By, the new Copenhagen Concert hall and the Danish national art gallery are some of the tourist attractions of the city.
