Copenhagen - Copenhagen municipality
Copenhagen is one of only three Danish municipalities which do not belong to any of the Counties of Denmark— the others are Frederiksberg and Bornholm.
The municipality covers an area of 88 km², and has a total population of 502,362 (2005). Lord Mayor of Copenhagen is Ritt Bjerregaard, a member of the Social Democrats (Socialdemokraterne) political party, who is head of the Finance Committee. Other mayors are Martin Geertsen (Cultural and Recreational Committee), Per Bregengaard (Education and Youth Committee), Inger Marie Bruun-Vierø (Health and Care Committee), Bo Asmus Kjeldgaard (Family and Labout Market Committee), Søren Pind (Building and Construction Committee), and Winnie Berndtson (Energy, Water and Environment Committee).
The seat of government is Copenhagen City Hall (Rådhus).
Neighboring municipalities are Gentofte, Gladsaxe and Herlev to the north, Rødovre and Hvidovre to the west, and Tårnby to the south. Frederiksberg is located as an enclave in the municipality, and is thus surrounded by Copenhagen.
Copenhagen municipality will not be merged with other municipalities by January 1, 2007 as the result of nationwide Kommunalreformen ("The Municipality Reform" of 2007).
