Vestegnen

When city planners turned this area of former villages and farmland into unending suburbia a transformation they now much regret, they turned to their North American counterparts for inspiration, and erected some huge impersonal shopping centers, complete with the usual, characterless chain stores, which leaves the shopping in Vestegnen a bit to be desired. You can find these shopping centers opposite almost every S-train station in the district. The largest of these malls are the aptly named City2 (http://city2.dk), a short walk away from Høje Taastrup station, with 110 stores and a large cinema complex over 100.000 m², and Rødovre Centrum (http://www.roedovrecentrum.dk) a bit off the main public transport corridors, also with 110 stores.
