Denmark’s goal of having no “ghettos” by 2030 is starting to be felt by residents of its housing estates.

People who have been born and raised in Denmark have found themselves labeled “non-western” – and must leave the area where they live so that more “westerners” can move in.

As demolition starts on estates like Mjolnerparken in Copenhagen and Vollsmose in Odense, lawyers are fighting for the rights of “non-western” Danes.
