Copenhagen IPA: [k?øb??n?h????n, k?øb?m??h????n]) is the capital of Denmark. It is situated on the Zealand and Amager Islands and is separated from Malmö, Sweden by the Øresund.
With the completion of the transnational Oresund Bridge in 2000, Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö are connected by a car/rail link and are in the process of integrating their labour markets, resulting in the number of commuters from both sides growing annually.
In 2007, the magazine Monocle listed Copenhagen second in their Top 20 Most Livable Cities Chart[1]. In addition, it has also been classified as a GaWC Cultural World City, while it is 3rd in Western Europe in the rivalry over regional headquarters and distribution centres, only surpassed by London and Paris. [2]
The original designation for the city, from which the contemporary Danish name is derived, was Køpmannæhafn, "merchants' harbour". The English name for the city is derived from its Low German name, Kopenhagen. The element hafnium is named after the city's Latin name, Hafnia[3].
