Meapacking District: from food processing to hipster neighborhood
<p><strong>Kødbyen is located on the eastern side of the Vesterbro neighbourhood, southwest of Copenhagen city centre. Known more as “Meatpacking District”, the area is divided into three sections built over a period of 50 years and named from the dominant colour of the buildings: brown, grey and white. Denmark always had a strong pig industry and it is today one of the biggest exporters of pork in the world. It is said that Kodbyen once had the highest density of butchers in Europe, but when most of the food producing businesses moved out of town, the area also disappeared from the collective memory of its citizens.</strong></p>
<p>Despite spending the ’80s and ’90s being one of the Copenhagen’s most rundown and forgotten area and a place within the city that only few people outside the food industry knew about, Kødbyen is today the city’s hippest neighbourhood and one of the most popular places to go out.</p>
