Copenhagen – a Leading Metropolis for Sustainable Growth, Innovation and Talent Copenhagen – a leading metropolis for sustainable growth, innovation and talent Recommendations from the Task Force for better business conditions in Copenhagen COPENHAGEN – A LEADING METROPOLIS FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH, INNOVATION AND TALENT 2 Preface It is a pleasure for me to present the completed recommendations from the Task Force for better business conditions in Copenhagen. It has been crucial for the task force’s members that the recommendations are based on dialogue with the world around them, which is why we have involved trade associations and their knowledge in our work. We have asked the seven administrations to contribute with challenges in their areas of expertise and received input from other municipalities, universities and the many knowledge clusters in Copenhagen. The task force has emphasised that the recommendations be based on analytically strong arguments with focus on evidence and high quality data. The recommendations build further on the City of Copenhagen’s business and growth policy 2015-2020 and are drawn up with the 2018 Growth Report as starting point, which provides a status for Copenhagen on parameters such as growth, wealth, inequality etc. from both a national and international perspective. The overall picture is that Copenhagen is doing very well. There is a solid foundation to build upon. The challenge is in bucking the development trend in Europe, in which metropolises are dividing into one group of high-growth cities and one with lower or even negative growth. This means that Copenhagen, as a city and a region, must constantly strive to be an attractive commercial city for existing and new businesses and place itself at the forefront in the race to attract international investments and talents. The task force has looked closer at the municipality’s challenges based on the potential which the municipality has to support growth via good business conditions for companies in Copenhagen. This has led to special focus on those areas where the municipality has some leverage, both with consideration for opportunities and respect for limitations such as the municipality’s management form, for example. The overall themes in the recommendations are a focus on developing a modern and ambitious service culture in collaboration with companies, to support recruitment of workforce, and to raise the ambition level within digitalisation and infrastructure. We have drawn on the advantages of being a metropolitan area in terms of attracting talents and investments from abroad for the benefit of the capital and Denmark as a whole. The first section of the report presents the task force’s 37 recommendations, followed by the analytical considerations and arguments behind the recommendations. The working papers, analyses, sources, underlying documentation etc. that form the foundation for the recommendations are publicly available and can be found at www.kk.dk/taskforce2018. Happy reading, and we look forward to a committed and constructive dialogue!

In Copenhagen, you can live a life well balanced between work and leisure. It’s a great place to live: workplaces of high quality, strong welfare provisions, world class cultural offers and a good environment. The city encourages a healthy lifestyle in balance with the environment, and city life here bears the mark of prosperity and equality. A good, prosperous life should not be taken for granted, however. Up until the start of the 1990s Copenhagen was in crisis and people were leaving the city in droves. In recent years we have witnessed a polarisation between cities in Europe, where places such as Helsinki and Brussels have stagnated since the financial crisis, and an otherwise flourishing city like Milano has experienced a drop in its economy of a whole 10 percent since 2011. In contrast, the economy in cities like London and Stockholm has grown by 3 percent annually since 2001. Copenhagen has kept up nicely and enjoyed a growth of 2.6 percent annually over the period 2011-2015. The increased polarisation between the big cities is due not least to increased global competition and increased digitalisation. This offers potential while also placing entirely new demands on Copenhagen and its businesses, if the city is to continue being an attractive place to live and run a business in. The keywords for the companies are continual adaptation and adjustment. The same applies politically, in order to ensure that the framework which the companies work within is adapted to the new competitive situation. Not only for the sake of the businesses – but because local residents are dependent on a strong commercial life with good jobs, economic growth and high productivity in order to be able to maintain the high level of prosperity. The commercial sphere has its own responsibility to think long-term and make contributions, for example within education, traineeships, employment etc. The UN’s 17 global goals provide a political and commercial platform in terms of solving society’s challenges while also developing new business ideas and generating new opportunities for growth. For companies in Copenhagen (the Capital Region of Denmark, RH), tax revenue is generated corresponding to DKK 125 billion annually. Despite the Copenhagen area as a region being an attractive location to place investments, paradoxically enough, business conditions in the City of Copenhagen do not rank highly when you ask the companies. The City of Copenhagen comes last in both the Confederation of Danish Industry and the Danish Construction Associations’ studies of business climate, and is criticised among other things for poor dialogue with the companies, slow case handling and high costs. In general the bigger municipalities find it harder to offer the same business-friendly service as smaller municipalities. This is not set in stone however, as in many other areas the bigger municipalities have succeeded in coming in at the top. This report offers both challenges and proposals for solutions. COPENHAGEN – A LEADING METROPOLIS FOR SUSTAINABLE GROWTH, INNOVATION AND TALENT 7 The foundation is good After years with relatively low growth there is now high economic growth in Copenhagen, both in a Danish and European context. With a growth of 2.6 percent in 2016 Copenhagen can compare itself with cities such as Hamburg, Amsterdam, Berlin and Stockholm. Copenhagen’s prosperity level measured in net salary is ranked at the top of the scale - surpassed only by Stockholm. Copenhagen is Denmark’s only metropolis and must live

Sažetak Gradovi Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne i Liverpool su europski gradovi sa različitim sustavom podzemne željeznice čiji razvoj odgovara ekonomskoj situaciji gradskih središta. Trenutno stanje pojedinih podzemno željeznićkih sustava i njihova primjenjena tehnologija uvelike odražava stanje razvoja javnog gradskog prijevoza i mreže javnog gradskog prometa. Svaki od prijevoznika u podzemnim željeznicama u tim gradovima ima različiti tehnički pristup obavljanja javnog gradskog prijevoza te korištenjem optimalnim brojem motornih prijevoznih jedinica osigurava zadovoljenje potreba javnog gradskog i metropolitanskog područja grada. Kroz usporedbu tehničkih podataka pojedinih podzemnih željeznica može se uvidjeti i zaključiti koji od sustava podzemnih željeznica je veći i koje oblike tehničkih rješenja koristi. Ključne riječi: Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne, Liverpool, podzemna željeznica, javni gradski prijevoz, linija, tip vlaka, tvrtka, prihod, cijena. Summary Cities Hamburg, Rennes, Lausanne and Liverpool are european cities with different metro system by wich development reflects economic situation of city areas.

  • Report Report INTRODUCTION
    Report Report INTRODUCTION The efforts the Catalan government is making to extend the public transport network to new points of the territory and improve the quality of the service have made a notable contribution to the increase in demand, especially in the second half of 2010. For example, in the sphere of the integrated fare system for the Barcelona area a total of 922.33 million journeys were recorded for 2010, 0.9% more than the previous year, thanks largely to the increase in the number of journeys by Metro, a 5.4% increase over 2009. Moreover, this upward tendency in the number of journeys made by public transport has been confirmed in the first quarter of 2011, and the forecasts for the close of the year LLUÍS RECODER I MirAllES already point to a record annual figure. Councillor for Territory and Sustainability and Chairman of the This recovery of demand is partly due to the set of measures taken to improve the infra- Metropolitan Transport Authority structure which the Catalan government is promoting in order to extend the public transport network and bring it to new centres of population, thus substantially broadening its area of coverage. It was in 2010 that new sections of the Metro came into operation, such as L9/L10 between Gorg and La Sagrera, L5 between Horta and Vall d’Hebron, and L2 between Pep Ventura and Badalona Pompeu Fabra. It was in the same year that Ferrocarrils de la Generalitat opened the station at Volpelleres near Sant Cugat del Vallès. In the field of road public transport various bus lines have been modified and extended to adapt their routes to the new needs for access to strategic facilities and other points where a large number of journeys are concentrated.

  • Escape the Madrid Heat in the Mountains of Cercedilla
    Escape the Madrid Heat in the Mountains of Cercedilla As someone who considers themselves a 50/50 city girl and mountain lover, I was slightly curious when moving to Madrid about where the hiking enthusiast side of me would find a place in such a massive city. I find that when most people think of Spain, their minds tend to veer more towards flamenco, sangria, paella, medieval villages, and enchanting cities. To my surprise, the community of Madrid is also home to a vast range of world-class hiking trails. I was excited the other week to be escaping the city for a day in the mountains of Cercedilla, but was pleasantly surprised when I saw the immense beauty that La Sierra de Guadarrama beholds. Getting to Cercedilla Luckily, Cercedilla is only about a one-hour drive away from Madrid and can be easily reached by train, which will drop you off right in the center of the quaint mountain town. I took a car to Cercedilla and after driving through this charming destination for a bit, found my way to the environmental office. Stepping out of the car and getting a whiff of the crisp mountain air and pine trees was the perfect welcome into the gorgeous La Sierra de Guadarrama that surrounds Madrid. If you go up to the window at the environmental office, you will meet a guide who will provide you with plenty of information and maps on the hikes that the area boasts. Choosing Your Hike The guide at the environmental office explained the map that contains many different color-coded trails, informing us of how long each would take, what the difficulty level was, etc.
