Exclusive club will build floating terrace. Now neighbors fear "amusement of the area".

Welcome dear reader and welcome to Berlingske's news overview »Metropol«. This week we focus on Copenhagen's hospitals, which are experiencing a significant increase in women seeking help for breast cancer.

We sample and innovative Italian Sunday dinner. But first we visit Werner Schram in Valby, who will soon be part of a major trend in Copenhagen.

---------------------------------------------

1. Denmark's largest increase in elderly residents

---------------------------------------------

*Briefly:* Copenhagen will experience the largest increase in the number ( https://www.berlingske.dk/metropol/kaempe-aeldreboom-giver-koebenhavns-kommune-graa-haar-men-werner-schrams ) of residents aged 80 and over in the coming years. However, the municipality will lack thousands of care homes. "That can't be known," it sounds from Danish Business.

*Perspective:* In Valby, 79-year-old Werner Schram lives in a care home – and perhaps a part of the solution to how Copenhagen should solve the challenge that the municipality is facing can be found there.

------------------------------------------

2. Floating bar- and pool club shares the waters

------------------------------------------

*Briefly:* Soho House, which is located in Gammelholm Customs in Copenhagen, will build a private, floating bar- and pool club ( https://www.berlingske.dk/kultur/eksklusiv-klub-vil-bygge-flydende-terrasse-midt-i-koebenhavn-naboerne-er ) in two stories, which club members and others can use for a fee.

*Perspective:* Copenhagen Municipality has now submitted the proposal to public consultation. The project already faces strong criticism from residents in the area. They think it embarrasses the harbor front and contributes to "trivialization of the area".

-------------------------------------------

3. Marked increase in seeking help for breast cancer

-------------------------------------------

*Briefly:* The number of women referred for examination in breast cancer packages has increased ( https://www.berlingske.dk/indland/patientboom-i-hovedstaden-kvinder-soeger-i-stort-tal-hjaelp-mod-frygtet ) from around 4,000 in 2017 to around 10,000 in 2024 in the capital region. The number in treatment is also increasing, shows new survey.

*Perspective:* The capital region has received criticism for having too long waiting times, but it is also moving forward. In the latest case, more than 80 percent have gone through the process in the cancer package within the recommended time limits.

4. RUC rector calls for respect for humanities

----------------------------------------------

*Briefly:* The number of students on humanities programs at universities is continuing to decline – and did so again this year ( https://www.berlingske.dk/metropol/rektor-i-opraab-efter-nye-tal-vil-tale-respekten-for-humaniora-op ). Now the rector of Roskilde University is raising the alarm.

*Perspective:* Rector Hanne Leth Andersen warns that it goes beyond the academic quality of the studies and states that one must "speak respect for humanities up", it sounds.

* Iconic love home near Bagsværd Lake is sold ( https://www.berlingske.dk/business/ikonisk-liebhaverejendom-ved-bagsvaerd-soe-er-solgt-for-et-svimlende )

* Commentary: Of course we should have a bust of Natasha ( https://www.berlingske.dk/kommentarer/selvfoelgelig-skal-vi-have-en-buste-af-natasja-i-koebenhavn )

Week's rent increase

----------------

It has become harder to get SU to cover housing expenses ( https://www.berlingske.dk/metropol/bombastisk-huslejestigning-aeder-suen-i-koebenhavn-det-er-voldsomt-siger ) for students in Copenhagen, shows new survey.

While SU has increased by around 16 percent over the past ten years, housing expenses on the private housing market in the same period have increased by 67 percent in Copenhagen.

Ten years ago, they had around 2,000 kroner left after rent. Now they have 900 kroner.

Chairman of Conservative Students, Daniel Bekesi, does not think SU should be raised. Instead, he recommends that young people get study jobs - and that it becomes possible to take larger SU loans than today.

Week's experience

---------------

A trattoria named Margo has opened its doors on Vesterbrogade in Copenhagen.

Here you can get innovative Italian "mormormad", and at the same time it is touching and cheap in relation to quality, writes Berlingske gastronomy editor, Søren Jacobsen Damm, who has tasted it.

He rates it with four out of six stars.
