On The Strand Anna McNamee takes the cultural temperature of Copenhagen.

A new social democratic government has just come into power in Denmark and new Culture Minister, Uffe Elbaek has already suggested big changes to arts funding.

Anna talks to mega bestselling crime writer Jussi Adler-Olsen, about the international success of Scanda-crime and the way that immigration is changing his home town, and influencing his Department Q novels.

She also visits the BIG architectural practice, winner of this year's World's Best Housing Project, where she discovers the secrets of 'hedonistic sustainability'
