Denmark court weighs ‘non-Western’ housing classification
Denmark’s Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether the state’s classification of residents from “non-Western” backgrounds under its parallel-societies housing law amounts to racial discrimination. Evicted families challenged the policy after removals from a housing complex in Helsingør. The government says the decisions were not based on ethnicity.
Why it matters
The ruling could determine how far Denmark may use origin-based categories in housing policy and redevelopment.
