Love the old parts of Aarhus but the new districts just seem so bland and harsh. Great video though man, always nice when people venture outside of just cph
The whole time I lived in Aarhus I was constantly happy and in fact so was everybody else. All the time everyone was happy constantly. Nobody was ever sad ever because in Aarhus there is no reason to ever be sad and no one is. Everyone is so happy. :))
Almost naked, by a beautiful morning, the Aarhus citizen enjoys a fair trade coffee coming from São Paulo and manufactured by a small family farm the size of 40 football fields, mentally reproducing the scene of torture in Casino Royale, sitting on its black polypropylene chair from Ikea hoping that someone is looking at him from below through its transparent blue PVC balcony
Sorry, I lived in Aarhus and I have a different opinion. Aarhus is nice, but not extraordinary. There are many other wonderful places in Europe, but Danes truly believe that Denmark is special. The Danish media repeats this narrative almost every day. I can say that Denmark is best seen through Danish eyes and Danes feel best about it because it is built on their values.
so universal healthcare and education, good public transport, high quality of life, great life work balance, low homelessness and so on are just Danish values? don´t you perhaps think everyone would be happy in that environment?
Looking at the stats, it seems Aarhus mainly eek out #1 on high Citizen and Environment scores, but it is not significantly ahead of any of the other "Gold" ranked cities in general. The creators of the index themselves say that it doesn't matter who is technically number 1 because everyone at the top are so close together that it comes down to personal preference which place any one person might prefer. Aarhus hitting the top spot is not statistically significant, but it is interesting to look at Aarhus and see how it might be representative of the greater whole of the "Gold" ranked cities.
@@eskildscott7841 Those values are partly universal. Most important values in live are good health, love, safety ... In general, Aarhus is one of many cities in the World, where life is good in eyes of their citizens. Danes look mostly at the system, material things. Life expectancy in DK is only average in EU, much lower than in Japan, Norway, Italy and many more.
the problem with all of this is quantifying happiness purely by material things like money, social security and places for leisure. this approach completely overlooks the core of what makes humans happy to begin with: feeling of belonging in an accepting and helpful community. Western cultures and Europe, with its deeply individualistic mentality, in general, has none of that. You have to look into third world countries to find it.
I beg to differ. Nordic cultures have just decided to elevate the community from small family/neighborhood/tribal units to large regional and state communities. Instead of having to rely on those immediately around you, you can rely on the greater community. Nordic culture is more collectivist than individualist. There exist a strong communal ruleset in all the Nordic nations, if you want that confirmed just look up the concept of Jantelov, the favorite thing to rage about for all extreme individualists when the Nordic nations come up. Nordic cultures are incredibly inclusive, accepting, helpful and friendly, if one cannot see that then one is looking in the wrong places. I would argue that egalitarian societies cannot exist anywhere that values small familial and tribal units above the larger community, because you need that common reliance on the central community to level the playing field, so to speak.

Like Americans lying to school kids teaching them that the U. S. is the "greatest country on earth". Ha! Yeah, great for the rich.
