In this episode, our two hosts dive into the fascinating story behind Aarhus’s urban evolution. What makes this city so different from Copenhagen or Odense? Why are there so few castles here — and how has that shaped the city’s design, spirit, and identity?

The story doesn’t end in history. They bring the discussion to today’s challenges: rapid population growth, the housing crunch, and the dream of a “Mixed City” (Blandet By) where everyone — Danes and internationals alike — can find a place to belong.
