Copenhagen faces 800,000 daily trips increase by 2035, mobility plan to preserve livability
A joint analysis by the Capital Region of Denmark and the City of Copenhagen projects that the Greater Copenhagen area will generate about 800,000 additional journeys each day by 2035. The forecast breaks down into roughly 290,000 extra walking trips, 110,000 more cycling trips, 80,000 additional public‑transport rides and 310,000 further car trips. City planners say the challenge is not to favor one mode over another, but to expand the integrated mobility ecosystem while maintaining the quiet streets, public spaces and overall quality of life that make Copenhagen highly liveable.
The analysis calls for coordinated investments across all transport modes to accommodate the growing population, tourism and economic activity without compromising the city’s reputation for sustainable, balanced mobility.
