Intra-urban industrial restructuring in the city of Copenhagen: workplaces and employment changes in metro- and non-metro-served areas, 2002-2012

ABSTRACT

This study analyses intra-urban locational restructuring in the City of Copenhagen ten years after the opening of the Copenhagen Metro in 2002. The locations and growth dynamics of workplaces and employment are examined by examining changes in entry and exit, growth and decline, and relocation in and out of both metro- and non-metro-served areas of the city. As a result, this study demonstrates the strong spatial restructuring that has taken place in the city of Copenhagen by covering multi-dimensional processes, including sectoral shifts, renewal and relocation.
