Short description
Jægersborggade’s transformation from a rough environment dominated by motorcycle gangs to an attractive shopping street is a good example of what strong communities can do for a city or an area. In recent years, Jægersborggade has evolved into a true attraction – not just for the people of Nørrebro, but for all of Copenhagen. The many specialty stores and workshops – headed by innovative owners with a strong social commitment – have brought a new and special atmosphere to the street with a checkered past.
