'''Region Hovedstaden''' (''Capital Region of Denmark'', official translation) is an administrative [[Regions of Denmark|region]] of [[Denmark]] established on [[January 1]], [[2007]] as part of the 2007 Danish Municipal Reform, which replaced the traditional [[counties of Denmark|counties]] ("amter") with five larger regions. At the same time, smaller [[municipalities of Denmark|municipalities]] were merged into larger units, cutting the number of municipalities from 271 to 98. The reform was implemented in [[Denmark]] on [[January 1]], 2007.
The new Region Hovedstaden consists of the municipalities of [[Copenhagen]] and [[Frederiksberg]], the former counties of [[Copenhagen County|Copenhagen]] and [[Frederiksborg County|Frederiksborg]], and the regional municipality of [[Bornholm]].
Without the remote island municipality Bornholm, located 140 [[kilometre|km]] (80 miles) southeast of Copenhagen, the population is 1,603,008 on an area of 1,973 km² (762 sq. m.) with a density of 812.47 per km² (2,103 per sq m), as opposed to 642.64 (1,665) with all 29 municipalities included.
Before 2007, a ''Danish Capital Region'', [[Danish Capital Region|Hovedstadsregionen]] did exist, but it did not cover exactly the same area.
The State Administration for Greater Copenhagen (''Statsforvaltningen Hovedstaden'') represents the central Government in '''Region Hovedstaden''' and supervises the Region and municipalities. It is part of the [[Ministry of Social Welfare (Denmark)|Ministry of Social Welfare]]. The leader holds the post of Director (''Forvaltningsdirektør'') and has a university degree in law.
The primary function of Region Hovedstaden, as with all the regions of Denmark, is to run the region's hospitals, 15 in all.
