Copenhagen

Copenhagen faces growing affordability challenges, particularly for young people and middle-income households. Social housing waiting times can exceed 10 years. The city is building aggressively in new development areas like Nordhavn and Ørestad, but demand continues to outstrip supply.

Copenhagen has a dynamic housing market with prices among the highest in Scandinavia. The city has a well-developed social housing sector (almene boliger) at about 20% and a significant cooperative housing sector (andelsboliger) at about 8%. Private rental is growing.
