Denmark in context: Street-network sprawl of new development

The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Denmark rose steadily. To get a sense of how street development has changed in Denmark, we can consider three of its most populous regions: Hovedstaden, Midtjylland and Syddanmark. Out of the three regions, Hovedstaden does not follow the same trend as the country. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Hovedstaden peaked in 1991-2005.

The largest city in Denmark is Copenhagen, with a population of 1120800 people. Taking into account the entire (i.e. aggregate) street network in Copenhagen as of 2020, the overall level of street-network sprawl is 1.79, which is very well-connected. The level of street-network sprawl in new development in Copenhagen rose steadily.

Denmark in context: Aggregate street-network sprawl

As of 2020, the city with the most disconnected street network in Denmark is Greve Strand with an SNDi of 2.79, which is relatively well-connected. Conversely, the most connected city is Copenhagen with an SNDi of 1.79, which is very well-connected. See these two cities’ trends in the above graph, or dive deeper into each: Copenhagen, Greve Strand.

The level of street-network sprawl in the aggregate network in Denmark rose steadily. To get a sense of how the aggregate street network has changed in Denmark, we can consider three of its most populous regions: Hovedstaden, Midtjylland and Syddanmark. Disconnectivity in the most populous cities in Denmark follow the same country trend.
