During Denmark's ?olden Age?(c. 1800 to 1850), Copenhagen came into being as a modern city on the urban-cultural level. This book examines this period in the city's history,just before the establishment of some of the main features of the modernisation of cities associated with industrialisation, such as street lighting, sewer systems, and working class quarters. it assess the work of the most prominent architect of the period, C.F. Hansen in transforming the city physically, before moving on to consider writings by three citizens of Copenhagen, the philosopher S?en Kierkegaard, the novelist Thomasine Gyllembourg and the criminal Ole Koller?, all of whom write about the city's institutional structure and urban life.
