2. Key points in the Øresund perspective
The Øresund integration is decreasing after a growth period from 2000 – the financial crises has stoped the integration. Danes are moving back to Copenhagen.
The fixed link has up till today created positive value within the region: 7,6 billion Euro - mostly due to labor comuting across the sound.
Growing population in the region and the main cities – Copehagen and Malmø
possibilities for a more integrated labor marked
need for more housing on both sides
need for better infrastructure connecting the core cities

Copenhagen and thereby strengthen the region’s
competitive position in Northern Europe
2] Provide an opportunity to use the existing connection
to widen the airport’s catchment
