Copenhagen is a wonderful city because of the incredible people who live here. However, loneliness and social division are increasing, and the connections that hold communities together are under pressure. Our sense of social cohesion is being tested in new ways. When people have fewer opportunities to meet, mix, and understand one another, it becomes harder to build trust across different backgrounds. Community spaces can play a vital role in addressing this by providing places to come together, share experiences, and seek advice and support. For many years, community centres were at the heart of neighbourhoods across Copenhagen, and I want to help restore that sense of belonging and shared purpose.
