Aarhus is a cycling friendly city with special paths for cycling. When cycling, you need to take into account several basic rules. • Drive on the right hand side. • Wear a helmet. Even though it is not mandatory, your life in case of accident may depend on you wearing it. Make sure it meets all the safety requirements. • Use the cycling paths when available. You may not cycle on sidewalks, pedestrian crossings, or pedestrian areas. If there is no specific cycle path, you need to use the right side of the road. • Use hand signals when turning left, right, or stopping. For more information on the rules of how to ride a bike, check this link. Where to buy/get a bicycle in Aarhus There are bicycle shops all around town. Some of the best known are Fri BikeShop on Frederick Allé, Jensen on Vestre Ringgade or Rask Cykler on Nørre Allé. You can also find second hand bikes in all those shops. If you want to buy a second hand bike you it is a good idea to check the DBA (Danish Ebay) online portal at https://www.dba.dk or the local Facebook marketplace. BUS City buses and regional buses Aarhus has an extensive bus network, which covers

  • Human Remains, Museum Space and the 'Poetics of Exhibiting'
    23 — VOLUME 10 2018 UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS AND COLLECTIONS JOURNAL Human remains, museum space and the ‘poetics of exhibiting’ Kali Tzortzi Abstract The paper explores the role of the design of museum space in the chal- lenges set by the display of human remains. Against the background of ‘embodied understanding’, ‘multisensory learning’ and ‘affective distance’ and of contextual case studies, it analyses the innovative spa- tial approach of the Moesgaard Museum of the University of Aarhus, which, it argues, humanizes bog bodies and renders them an integra- tive part of an experiential, embodied and sensory narrative. This allows the mapping of spatial shifts and new forms of engagement with human remains, and also demonstrates the role of university museums as spaces for innovation and experimentation. 24 — VOLUME 10 2018 UNIVERSITY MUSEUMS AND COLLECTIONS JOURNAL Introduction and research question This paper aims to explore the issue of the respectful presentation of human physical remains in contextual exhibitions by looking at the role of museum space in the challenges set by their display, with particular reference to the contribution of experimentation in the university museum environ- ment. The debate raised by the understanding that human remains “are not just another artefact” (stated by CASSMAN et al. 2007, in GIESEN 2013, 1) is extensively discussed in the literature, and increasingly explored through a range of museum practices. In terms of theoretical understanding, authors have sought to acquire an overall picture of approaches towards the care of human remains so as to better understand the challenges raised. For example, among the most recent publica- tions, O’Donnabhain and Lozada (2014) examine the global diversity of attitudes to archaeological human remains and the variety of approaches to their study and curation in different countries.

  • THE BICYCLE RING in AARHUS, DENMARK: a Case Study of Maintaining People Friendly Environments While Managing Cycling Growth
    THE BICYCLE RING IN AARHUS, DENMARK: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Urban Planning & Management | Master Thesis | Aalborg University | June 2017 Estella Johanna Hollander & Matilda Kristina Porsö Title: The Bicycle Ring in Aarhus, Denmark: a case study of maintaining people friendly environments while managing cycling growth Study: M.Sc. in UrBan Planning and Management, School of Architecture, Design and Planning, AalBorg University Project period: FeBruary to June 2017 Authors: Estella Johanna Hollander and Matilda Kristina Porsö Supervisor: Gunvor RiBer Larsen Pages: 111 pages Appendices: 29 pages (A-E) i Abstract This research project seeks to analyze the relationship Between cycling and people friendly environments, specifically focusing on the growth in cycling numbers and the associated challenges. To exemplify this relationship, this research project uses a case study of the Bicycle Ring (Cykelringen) in Aarhus, Denmark. Four corners around the Bicycle Ring, with different characteristics in the Built environment, are explored further. In cities with a growing population, such as Aarhus, moBility is an important focus because the amount of travel will increase, putting a higher pressure on the existing infrastructure. In Aarhus, cycling is used as a tool to facilitate the future demand of travel and to overcome the negative externalities associated with car travel. The outcome of improved mobility and accessibility is seen as complementary to a good city life in puBlic spaces. Therefore, it is argued that cycling is a tool to facilitate people friendly environments. Recently, the City of Aarhus has implemented cycle streets around the Bicycle Ring as a solution to improve the conditions around the ring.

The data were collected through a questionnaire, conducted in the largest marginalized high-rise community in Denmark, Gellerup, which is about to undergo an extensive community renewal plan. The study showed that residents in Gellerup had access to bonding and bridging social capital inside and outside Gellerup. Nevertheless, the character of the social capital varied considerably depending on age, geographical origin and years lived in Gellerup. Young residents and people who had lived for many years in Gellerup had more social capital than their counterparts. Furthermore, residents from Arab countries had more bonding relations inside Gellerup, while residents from Northern Europe had more bonding relations outside Gellerup. Keywords: Social capital, marginalized communities, Denmark, bonding social capital, bridging social capital Journal of Social Inclusion, 5(1), 2014 Journal of Social Inclusion, 5(1), 2014 Introduction During the 1960s and 1970s, communities of large-scale high-rise housing estates were built in many countries to meet the after-war housing shortage.

  • Our View from City Tower
    Our view from City Tower A sustainable and grandiose building overlooking Aarhus. Welcome to the top of City Tower, which is Aarhus’s tallest and most prominent commercial building with a fantastic view. The construction of the building was completed in the summer of 2014. In August 2014, our 130 Aarhus employees moved into the premises totalling 4,500 m2 and occupying the 14th, 15th, 16th and 22nd floors of the building. City Tower spans a total of 34,000 m2 divided on 25 floors – the two bottom floors housing the cellar and the under- ground parking area. In addition to Bech-Bruun, City Tower also accommodates the employer Hans Lorenzen, the Comwell Hotel and the audit and consultancy firm Deloitte.
