Abstract
During the last couple of years numerous European cities have engaged themselves in a territorial competition that eventually may lead to a redistribution of the economic and political relations between city-regions within the European Single Market. A whole range of factors including the breaking up of Eastern Europe have facilitated this development. Within the cities this has meant that the post-war planning machine has been under severe attack. Focusing on Copenhagen, this article discusses the shift from welfare planning to entrepreneurialism within the field of urban policy. The outcome of this development, for example decisions on huge investments in infrastructure, has initiated a discussion between a pro-growth coalition consisting of major parties in the Danish Parliament, the local government and entrepreneurs in Denmark and Sweden on the one side and on the other a more critical group of environmentalists and others that confronts the idea of a booming Copenhagen.
