Another sign that a 15-minute city is a lively mixed-use place: a hardware store opened on a main city square in the shadow of the cathedral.

It's the kind of flagship space where you’d usually find a designer bag store. It rents drills, sack trolleys and tools by the hour. That can only make commercial sense when a city centre is not just for businesses and the rich, but for ordinary people living just around the corner in ordinary homes.

‘Lille Torv’ – ‘the little square’ – part of the main city square in the heart of Aarhus. Behind us, unseen, Aarhus Domkirke – Aarhus Cathedral. We are looking at an historic, landmark corner property made of lovely brickwork. It’s on a corner with cobbled streets and the square around it. A traditional hot dog stand is seen to the right. It’s early morning, so not many people around. The shop name ‘Silvan’ – a chain hardware store - is on the door. Outside, wooden street display shelves with plants and other stuff the hardware sells. And parked in the middle of the square, a bright orange sack trolley my friend & I rented for a few hours to move some heavy furniture. In a city centre that’s not full of flats and homes that inspired a hardware to move in, there’d be no handy way to get something like this right in the heart of the city because hardwares like these were farther out and suburban and you’d need a car.

Apparently there’s a conspiracy theory that 15-minute cities are urban prisons where residents must wear QR codes that track their restricted movements. As opposed to the reality: mixed-use neighbourhoods so handy that signposts can use walking minutes as the unit of distance to the library, theatres, cafés, community services, museums, parks and shops.

Fingerpost signs in mixed-use city centre Aarhus. They are nicely designed - dark green with white type. They point in different directions with the names of nearby residential apartment complexes and to facilities including the library (21 minutes - that's a careful strolling speed) and Theatre (13 minutes) and Aros art museum (10 minutes). There are also signs to underground car parking - cars are not forbidden in the city centre; it's just nicer and quicker (and free or cheaper) to walk and cycle or take public transport to get around.
Fingerpost signs in a mid-city mixed-use area with old and new buildings and with busy pedestrian routes to offices, shops, service companies, museums, recreational facilities, residential areas, the historic café district etc. Distance to facilities like the open-air museum and the university and the buzzing shopping & café district The Latin Quarter is given in minutes.

Glædelig mandag. There is so much happening everywhere. Here's a postcard from #Aarhus to wish you a week that is as calm as this sunset was.
Aarhus harbour, Denmark, a freezing cold bright February twilight. An expanse of empty sea fills the lower half of the scene. It is pond-calm, lightly covered in ice, deep blue, almost black in places. An expanse of empty sky - not a bird, not a cloud - fills the upper half. It is a beautiful shade of lighter blue. Dissecting the sea and sky across the middle: the city skyline, almost in silhouette with a streak of orange behind it where the sun has just set. Warm lights glow from some building windows. We see a slim row of historic and modern buildings that jut up and down at different heights, like a wavelength. The old custom house turret and the cathederal clock tower dominate. The skyline is reflected in perfect inversion in the water.

My morning commute today. Except I need a better word than ‘commute’ for when you cycle or walk to work, so there’s time to enjoy the sunrise.

#Aarhus
#LiveableCities
Water’s edge, mid-city Aarhus, not long after 8am today, shortly before sunrise. The sky is grey-blue, cloudless. The docks and piers across the harbour are dark, almost silhouettes with tall and low buildings in striking shapes – a huge angular crane; a narrow oblong skyscraper; a triangular apartment block; a geodome. Behind them, a stripe of deep pink and orange across the horizon. The high-tide sea is bulging with dark blue ripples, almost black, with orange and pink reflected on the surface. Just to the left, a white-and-red trawler with bunting and white Christmas lights that twinkle in reflections on the water. This is not, I think, the view you imagine when you hear the word ‘commute’.

For #FensterFreitag, the Rainbow Panorama walkway at #ARoS in #Aarhus again, this time from a couple of weeks ago. #Denmark #Danmark
A family walking around a circular walkway on the roof of an art gallery. The windows are tinted with different colours all the way round, here merging from blue to purple to pink to orange.
