An aerial image showing the metropolitan area of Copenhagen, following the Finger Plan

The Finger Plan (Danish: Fingerplanen) is an urban plan from 1947 which provides a strategy for the development of the Copenhagen metropolitan area, Denmark. According to the plan, Copenhagen is to develop along five 'fingers', centred on S-train commuter rail lines, which extend from the 'palm', that is the dense urban fabric of central Copenhagen. In between the fingers, green "wedges" are intended to provide land for agriculture and recreational purposes.[1]

By the definition in the Finger Plan the metropolitan area has a population of 2,036,717 (as of 1 January 2017) and an area of 3,030 km2 (1,170 sq mi) over 34 municipalities.[2]
