Key points in the Øresund perspective

• The Øresund integration is decreasing after a growth period from 2000 – 2008 - the financial crises has stoped the integration. Danes are moving back to Copenhagen. • The fixed link has up till today created positive value within the region: 7,6 billion Euro - mostly due to labor comuting across the sound.

• Growing population in the region and the main cities – Copehagen and Malmø• possibilities for a more integrated labor marked• need for more housing on both sides• need for better infrastructure connecting the core cities

Growth in population

By 2025 there will be ca. 4 mio. Inhabitants in the Copenhagen – Malmo region
