context_page_description: Borups Allé is a major artery in the northwestern part of inner Copenhagen, Denmark. The 3.2 km long street runs from Jagtvej at Nuuks Plads in the southeast to Bellahøj in the northwest. Just before Hulgårdsvej, part of Ring 2, Borups Allé is joined by Bispeengbuen, an elevated road section that connects it to Åboulevard-Ågade and H. C. Andersens Boulevard in the city centre. The rest of Borups Allé is the first leg of the National Road 16, part of the Danish national road network. It continues as a six-lane road to Frederikssundsvej where it becomes Hareskovvej and later the Hillerød Motorway at Utterslev Mose.
context_section_description: Kay Fisker's Neoclassical Hornbækhus from 1923 is one of the finest examples of the large residential blocks that were built in Copenhagen in the 1920s. It is 200 metres long and 80 metres wide and contains 290 apartments. The building occupies the block bounded by Borups Allé (No. 5-23), Hornbækgade (No. 2-10), Skotterupgade No. 13-19) and Ågade (No. 116-134). It surrounds a greenspace designed by Gudmund Nyeland Brandt.
  Borups Plads (Borup's Square) is another Neoclassical apartment block, fronting a small public space on the corner with Lundtoftegade. It was designed by Alf Cock-Clausen for the City and completed in 1924.
   
  The Telephone House (No. 43) replaced the similarly named building in Nørregade as headquarters of KTAS (now TDC). The company still owns the building but is now headquartered in South Harbour. With its tower and location next to Bispeengbuen, the building is a visible landmark in the area.
   
  The Copenhagen Denmark Temple on Priorvej, the 118th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, fronts a small urban space on Borups Allé. Priorvej Chapel was originally built by the Latter-day Saints in 1931. It was converted into a temple in 1994.
  Genforeningspladsen ("Reunion Square") is located to the south of Borups Allé and Hulgårdsvej. The development consists of eight residential blocks surrounding a sports ground with facilities for soccer, tennis and a running course which is turned into a 400-metre ice skating circuit in winter.  The residential buildings were designed by different architects and built between 1919 and 1932. They are arranged according to strictly symmetrical plans centred on an axis with various urban spaces and landscape elements that run from the top of the green Bellahøj Hill to Gandhis Plæne at Borups Allé. The name refers to the Reunion of Denmark and northern Schleswig in 1920.
   
  Across the street from Gandhi's Lawn, between Vibevej and Mågevej, is another residential development, Grønnegaarden (No. 18-198), a two-storey block from 1923 designed by Povl Baumann. Next to it, north of Mågevej, is Vestergårdsporten, a residential development from 1918. Two of the blocks (C and D) were designed by Anton Rosen.
  Bellahøj Swimming Stadium is located at the southwestern corner of Borups Allé and Frederikssundsvej.
