As always with metropolitan areas it's a question of definitions:
Municipality : 526.918 (Sep 2009) [21% are 1st and 2nd generation immigrants]
Capital (Copenhagen, Frederiksberg & Gentofte) : 683.397 (Jan 2009) [12,4% of DK]
Greater Copenhagen : 1.167.569 (2006) [21,2 % of Denmark]
Developments:
The municipality of Copenhagen has experienced a significant decline since the population peaked right after after WWII at 628.397 persons. This is due to a move from outdated flats in the 'old' city to the suburbs.
Increasingly Greater Copenhagen and the neighbouring Greater Malmö just across the Oeresund strait are in many regards working to develop a common metropolitan area (Öresund region) which is home to 1,8 mill inhabitants.

Yes, by current definitions. Denmark has been a Constitutional monarchy from 1848. Since 1901 it has been combined with Parlimentarism, which means that no government can have a majority of the Parliament against it. Women has had the right to vote in national elections since 1915 (first used in 1918).
National parliament: All citizens of age 18 and up. (Men obtained the right in 1849, but in the beginning had to fulfil certain social and economic criteria, so less than 10% could actually vote; Women's suffrage was granted in 1915).
Municipal councils: Everybody age 18+ with at least 3 years recidency in the country. (Foreign citizens got the voting right in 1981).
Is Denmark a parliamentary system?
Denmark introduced Democracy in 1849, but only from 1901 was so-called parlimentarism enforced, which means that no government can have a majority in parliament against it. Until 1915 only men had the vote, so you can of course discuss how democratic the system was!
