Denmark plans to build nine artificial islands in southern Copenhagen in a bid to attract businesses, the government announced on Monday, amid a housing and office space shortage.
"We're targetting high-tech companies but there's always a need for the production of products we use in our daily lives too," Industry and Business Minister Rasmus Jarlov told Danish news agency Ritzau.
Construction on the nine islands is scheduled to begin in 2022, covering an area of three million square metres (32.3 million square feet).
