Just to point out, Copenhagen isn't (entirely) located on Amager, as the article suggests. Part of it is, but that's only a couple of neighborhoods in the city which is composed of 8-ish distinct areas. Copenhagen is located entirely on Sjælland, but calling it Sjælland Bakke wouldn't make sense in the local context.

No, it's more like "New york is located in Brooklyn". As in, Amager is still a part of Copenhagen, but does not encompass all of it.
