The Oresund Bridge links Copenhagen to which city?
"Copenhagen Copenhagen ( ) is the capital and most populous city of Denmark. As of July 2018, the city has a population of 777,218 (616,098 in Copenhagen Municipality, 103,914 in Frederiksberg Municipality, 43,005 in Tårnby Municipality, and 14,201 in Dragør Municipality). It forms the core of the wider urban area of Copenhagen (population 1,627,705) and the Copenhagen metropolitan area (population 2,057,737). Copenhagen is situated on the eastern coast of the island of Zealand; another small portion of the city is located on Amager, and is separated from Malmö, Sweden, by the strait of Øresund. The Øresund Bridge connects the two"
"Øresund Bridge, between the Danish capital Copenhagen and the Swedish city of Malmö, inaugurated on 1 July 2000, connects a bi-national metropolitan area with close to 4 million inhabitants. The HH Ferry route, between Helsingør, Denmark and Helsingborg, Sweden, in the northern part of Øresund, is one of the world's busiest international ferry routes with more than 70 departures from each harbour per day. Øresund is a geologically young strait that formed 8500–8000 years ago as a result of rising sea levels. Previously the Ancylus Lake, a fresh-water body occupying the Baltic basin, had been connected to the sea solely"
"Øresund Region The Øresund Region (; ), also known as Greater Copenhagen for marketing purposes, is a metropolitan region that comprises eastern Denmark and Skåne in southern Sweden. Centred around the Øresund strait and the two cities which lie on either side, Copenhagen in Denmark and Malmö in Sweden, the region is connected by the Øresund Bridge, which spans the strait at its southern end, and the HH Ferry route between Elsinore, Denmark, and Helsingborg, Sweden, at the narrowest point of the strait. The Capital Region of Denmark and Region Zealand constitute the Danish side, while Scania constitutes the Swedish"
"Øresund Bridge The Øresund or Öresund Bridge ( ; ; hybrid name: """") is a combined railway and motorway bridge across the Øresund strait between Sweden and Denmark. The bridge runs nearly from the Swedish coast to the artificial island Peberholm in the middle of the strait. The crossing is completed by the Drogden Tunnel from Peberholm to the Danish island of Amager. The Øresund Bridge is the longest combined road and rail bridge in Europe and connects two major metropolitan areas: Copenhagen, the Danish capital city, and the Swedish city of Malmö. It connects the road and rail networks"

Amager Amager ( or, especially among older speakers, ) in the Øresund is Denmark's most densely populated island, with almost 200,000 inhabitants on the small appendix to Zealand.

The Danish capital, Copenhagen, is partly situated on Amager, which is connected to the much larger island of Zealand by eight bridges and a metro tunnel.

"communities are located on Amager, including Islands Brygge, and the towns of Dragør, Kastrup, and Tårnby. Amager is connected by tunnel to the artificial island Peberholm from which Øresund Bridge connects Denmark to Sweden. The construction of the bridge has had a significant impact on the physical geography of the island, largely due to the construction of new highways. The Copenhagen Metro connects Amager to central Copenhagen. The metro line from Vanløse to Amager divides into M1 and M2 lines at Christianshavn and then continue to Vestamager and Lufthavnen (Copenhagen Airport). Copenhagen Airport is in the eastern part of Amager."
"Øresund, Sweden carried out two great projects, the foundation of Göteborg (Gothenborg) in 1621 and the construction of the Göta Canal from 1810 to 1832. The Copenhagen Convention of 1857 abolished the Dues and made the Danish straits an international waterway. A fixed connection was opened across the strait in 2000, the Øresund Bridge.

"the Nordhavn area of Copenhagen (where the existing metro is due for a future extension) satisfies both circular traffic and the fastest possible Øresund crossing time from for instance Oslo, Gothenburg, Halmstad and actually also from Helsingborg to the Danish Capital city. The prospects for any second connection at Scandinavia's largest population area (more than 3 million people lives close to the Øresund shores), has a very low priority as Denmark has other bridges to build and the matter is of poor interest in Sweden's remotely located (seen from an Øresund perspective) Capital city. The metro consists of two lines,"

Recent years have also seen the emergence of several new architectural firms operating both in Denmark and internationally.

Together with the Øresund Bridge, and the two Little Belt bridges, the link provides a direct fixed connection between western Continental Europe and northern Scandinavia, eventually connecting all parts of the European Union except Ireland, Malta, Cyprus, and outlying islands.
