What's missing in Copenhagen

Copenhagen resembles more a provincial town than a world capital.
This might have its charm at times, but it also means that Copenhagen is missing out on many things.

Large bookstore
In a city where culture is so spread out and advertised it is quite amazing that there is no large bookstore.
The biggest in town, Arnold Busck, could be compared to a village store. Other chains are even smaller (e.g. Bog & idé).
Copenhagen could really use a space, a multi-storey building where to find books, newspapers, music and more from all over the world.
Something like Waterstone's in London, FNAC in Paris, Feltrinelli in Rome, Livraria Cultura in Sao Paulo o El Ateneo in Buenos Aires.
Maybe one day ...

Large public market
At this moment, the new public market in Israels Plads has still to be inaugurated. Even so it is quite amazing that it took so long for a city to get something so basic, common and useful.
The new market structure can be seen already and it is quite sad, pitiful and dull. So, after having waited for a long time, the city has not turned the construction of the new market into something special, unique and beautiful as other cities have done recently (Barcelona in particular with the Barceloneta Market and the Santa Catarina Market)
This is a real shame and a lost opportunity. Also the market does not look big either. Hopefully it will work, although my guts tell me that the market will not offer a wide range of products, from anchoves to zucchini, from meat to fruits, and it will have very high prices, contradicting the essence of a public market.

Update: the public market has opened and my guts were right. The building has nothing of a public market, nor the size, the variety, the atmosphere, the essence, the experience or the prices. It is an ensemble of very expensive boutiques which resembles more a tiny shopping mall than anything else. Flowers and vegetables have even been left outside the main structures, in ridiculously cheap stands, to leave space for cupcakes and sweets!

Copenhagen H Square
The main train station in Copenhagen has no real front. The real main entrance is on the side of Tivoli.
The front of the building lacks enough space for being perceived and work as such.
A big hole showing the railway tracks denies the frontal space of a proper square. The result is a missing piece of city between the front of the train station and Vesterbrogade.
A real no-space which (consequently and coherently) it does not have a name.
The hole has absolutely no function and it should be covered, allowing the city to gain a new square, a new perception of the train station.
In general the central rail station of Copenhagen is quite ugly and it would deserve a complete and profound renovation.

Axeltorv
The space between the cinema Palads and the entrance of Tivoli gardens should be closed to traffic.
Axeltorv and in particular the space next to Scala (one of the ugliest building in town and currently being demolished) do not work as public spaces. There would be enough room and potential to turn all that space in a magnificent and lively square. This would also mean closing the ending piece of Vesterbrogade towards Raadhuspladsen. In fact the whole block between Pumpehuset and Vesterbrogade could be "pedonalized" (closing Studiestraede and Jernbanegade as well), removing all forms of fencing to integrate the open spaces around Pumpehuset. Finally, the existing green areas should be maximized while creating new green areas.

Museums open at night
Given that people stop working at 16:30 everyday, they could really take advantage of the cultural offer of the city and enjoy their evening in a museum. Unfortunately museums have ridiculous opening times and they do not offer anything for the average working citizens when they get out of work, because they close!

Restaurant kitchens open until midnight
To get something nice and hot to eat after 22:00 is just impossible in Copenhagen ... in some places they actually and literally close the kitchen by 22:00, meaning that the order has to arrive before 21:00!
It does not have to be like in New York where you can buy shoes at 02:00 in the morning, but to be able to eat in a restaurant at 23:00 should definitely be possible.

Danish DVDs with english subtitles
This is something missing in the whole of Denmark, of course. Denmark has amazing movie and tv productions and it is sad to realize that they do not sell DVDs with english subtitles.
DVDs in Denmark have, at most, subtitles in danish, norwegian, swedish and finnish ... but there are probably tons of foreigners in Scandinavia who could enjoy and profit from english subtitles.
They could have a way larger audience and sell way more DVDs if they did, plus they would contribute in teaching the language to foreigners.
