* **Summary**:
  * The Danish Parliament agreed to earmark around 4 billion euros (30 billion Danish Krone) for renovating public housing between 2020 and 2026.
  * The measure had been first announced by the Danish PM, Mette Frederiksen, on 1 May, it will prioritise 'green initiatives' and one out of seven workers engaged will be an apprentice.
  * On paper and a priori, this all sounds quite good to help Denmark through these complicated times: improving housing conditions via public investment supporting green initiatives and promoting job apprenticeships.
  * Then, of course, journalists should follow up on the actual implementation of these measures.
  * And we should also consider that the **public authorities just own 9.96% of all the dwellings (and only 1.85% of "dwellings with registered population")**, according to the data from Statistics Denmark: <https://www.statbank.dk/statbank5a/SelectVarVal/Define.asp?MainTable=BOL101&PLanguage=1&PXSId=0&wsid=cftree>​
  * And we should also remember the so-called 'Ghetto law' in Denmark, which from 1 January 2020 means that **areas labelled as "ghettos" may contain no more than 40% of public housing stock**. You can read more about that here: <https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/mar/11/how-denmarks-ghetto-list-is-ripping-apart-migrant-communities>​
* **Regulatory levels**: national (Denmark)
