Copenhagen Airport is located on the island, around 7 km (4 mi) from Copenhagen city centre. Amager is the largest island in the Øresund, and the only with a large population. As of 2014, close to 180,000 people live on the island, including its northern tip, Christianshavn. The northern part is included in Copenhagen minicipality. The middle part comprises Tårnby municipality, and Dragør municipality is located on the southeast part of the island. Most of the western part is land that was reclaimedfrom the sea from the 1930s-1950s.
