Vollsmose
Vollsmose is a suburb of Odense, the third-largest city in Denmark. Approximately 3 km northeast of central Odense, towards Odense Fjord. It has around 10.000 inhabitants and is characterised by a modern housing development project from the 1970s. Since the 1990s, the area has become known throughout Denmark, because of the relatively large numbers of people of foreign descent living in the area. Its many social issues cause it to be officially classified as a vulnerable residential area by Danish authorities. Other areas in Denmark similarly characterized are Gellerup Parken in Aarhus and Mjølnerparken in Copenhagen. Etymology According to a ''markbog'' (listing and map of the area's fields) of 1682, the spelling used then was ''Woldsmose''. The latter part of the name is Danish ''mose'' (bog or swamp). The first part is probably ''vold'' (Old Norse ''vǫllr''), an obsolete word meaning a grass-covered area or plain. Before being developed, the area was low and marshy. ...

Vulnerable Residential Area (Denmark)
"Vulnerable residential area" ( da, Udsat boligområde) is an official term for a social housing district in Denmark which fulfils certain statistical criteria of relatively low employment/school attendance, relatively low income, a relatively low educational level and/or relatively many convicted inhabitants. If more than 50% of the residents in a vulnerable area are non-Western immigrants and their descendants, the area is additionally designated a "parallel society". The Danish government has published an official list of vulnerable residential areas annually since 2010, with changes in the definition and/or terminology in 2013, 2018 and 2021. During the period 2010-2021, the term "ghetto" was used officially to designate some or all of the vulnerable areas, but the term was considered controversial and removed in 2021. History Background Denmark experienced considerable net immigration from the 1960s onwards due to a combination of various reasons, of which labour migrat ...
