Gentofte

Gentofte is a municipality (Danish, kommune) in Copenhagen County on the east coast of the island of Zealand (Sjælland) in eastern Denmark. The municipality covers an area of 26 km², and has a total population of 68,623 (2006). Its mayor is Hans Toft, a member of the Conservative People's Party (Det Konservative Folkeparti) political party. Toft has served as mayor since 1993.

The municipality is an amalgamation of seven formerly independent towns, all lying in proximity to one another. The site of its municipal council is the town of Charlottenlund. The other towns are Dyssegård, Gentofte, Hellerup, Jægersborg, Klampenborg, Ordrup and Vangede.
