Abstract
The spatial planning system in Denmark has traditionally been known for its ‘comprehensive-integrated’
appeal characterized by a ‘formal’ rationality embedded within its systematic hierarchy of plans and
institutions from national to local levels. In Europe, the purpose of planning systems of this kind has been to
achieve ‘spatial coherence’ between levels of government and across territorial scales through the
coordination and integration of policy sectors (horizontally) as well as jurisdictions and planning policies
(vertically) shaping the management and articulation of spatial change. However, the Danish spatial planning
system has been exposed to profound reorientations in recent years, as illustrated by the radical modification
of its scope, its structure as well as its institutional and policy mechanisms. In the case of Denmark, a
structural reform implemented in 2007 that changed the country’s political geography and its existing
intergovernmental arrangements hence led to: i) the downward rescaling (from regional to municipal levels)
of most functions and responsibilities related to spatial planning; ii) the upward rescaling (from metropolitan
to national level) of spatial planning functions associated with the Metropolitan Region of Copenhagen; and
iii) the revocation of regional planning as well as the institutional dismantling of the metropolitan level.
Based on these series of changes, this paper aims at elucidating how different governments in power over
the last 20 years have interpreted the planning system based on the adoption and adaptation of specific
strategies (legal and/or spatial) that seek to articulate the different levels that comprise the planning system
in one way or another. The impact that stems from the implementation of these strategies (whether they also
remain as speculations or intentions) is that there is an increasing tendency to indirectly redefine
conventional territorial scales. In order to depict such redefinition, this paper attempts to carry out an analysis
of: i) the strategic spatial role attributed to each level of planning; ii) how each territorial scale is redefined as
a result of the changing spatial relationships occurring between the planning levels.
