Talk:Urban area of Copenhagen

message: I am not sure that these two terms are synonyms. As I have learnt, Hovedstadsområdet is bigger than Storkøbenhavn. --Johannes Rohr (talk) 18:17, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Hovedstadsområdet was a loose term, which according to this discussion on DaWiki only was defined by the Danish Road Directorate (DRD), and was a slightly bigger area than Storkøbenhavn. However with the Danish Municipal Reform of 2007 the DRD disbanded the term for the more widely recognized Hovedstadsregionen. --Heb (talk) 12:57, 13 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Storkøbenhavn and Hovedstadsområdet 

message: I don´t really know what the point is with that section. The area contains Dragør municipality which is not considered a part of the urban area by DST and also it doesn´t include Greve strand and Ishøj city which are a part of the urban area. The population figures are also outdated and from 1/1 2004 except for Copenhagen municipality which had a population of 501,664 (1/1 2004). I have checked all years and quarters in that period and none of them shows a population of 502,204 as quoted in that section so it's clearly wrong. 
For some years the 455.61 km2 figure for this area was quoted as the area for the urban area in the Copenhagen article although this is very obviously a wrong number for the urban area. That was quite annoying since I several times pointed out that the number was wrong. The real figure for Copenhagen urban area is considerably smaller. It is however important to note that there´s no official figure for the urban area. This was despite the fact that the Copenhagen article actually stated ”"Statistics Denmark has never stated the geographical area of urban Copenhagen."
Copenhagen urban area consists of Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Albertslund, Brøndby, Gentofte, Gladsaxe, Glostrup, Herlev, Hvidovre, Lyngby-Taarbæk, Rødovre, Tårnby and Vallensbæk and parts of Ballerup, Rudersdal (earlier Søllerød), Furesø (earlier Værløse) as well as Ishøj city og Greve Strand city. 
As it can be seen here according to DST: http://www.dst.dk/pukora/epub/Nyt/2011/NR171.pdf 
To sum it up about this area and the urban area:
*Copenhagen urban area consists of parts of Ballerup municpality (not all of it). 
*Copenhagen urban area consists of parts of Søllerød (now Rudersdal) municipality (not all of it).
*Copenhagen urban area consists of parts of Værløse (now Furesø) municipality (not all of it).
*Copenhagen urban area does not contain Dragør municipality.
*In 2007 both Greve Strand and Ishøj city have been added (not their municipalities) but they haven't been included in this figure.
*In those municipalities in which all of the population live in the urban area does not mean all of the area should be included. Not all of the area of the municipalities are urbanized, e.g. not all of Copenhagen municipality is urbanized (especially parts of Amager) and netiher is much of Tårnby municipality which contains an airport and Saltholm island. Albertslund and Lyngby-Taarbæk contains large un-urbanized areas as well and there are parts of other municipalities as well. 
Anyway if that section should make just a bit sense then Dragør municipality should be removed and Ishøj and Greve municipalities added. Then we have included all municipalities which have at least a part of them in the urban area. Christian2381 (talk) 11:08, 21 January 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Regarding the section ”Region based on Copenhagen with suburbs” 

message: What I also forgot to mention is that actually only the population of 7 municipalities are totally within the urban area and those are Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Gentofte, Gladsaxe, Glostrup, Hvidovre and Rødovre. The 6 municipalities Brøndby, Herlev, Albertlund, Lyngby-Taarbæk, Tårnby and Vallensbæk all have a small part of the population which is not a part of the urban area. So those municipalities are also only partly within the urban area.
What we have is:
Copenhagen, Frederiksberg, Gentofte, Gladsaxe, Glostrup, Hvidovre, Rødovre (all of the population is a part of the urban area).
Brøndby, Herlev, Albertlund, Lyngby-Taarbæk, Tårnby, Vallensbæk (Is not mentioned in the article but only a part of them are in the urban area).
Ballerup, Ishøj, Greve, Furesø (as mentioned only partly within the urban area).
