Why Denmark Is Like That: Resilience, Hygge, and Human-First Design

Описание: Denmark. A country swept by cold northern winds, but with people preserving warmth inside their houses and souls. A society that communicates structure and lives by rules, but respects freedom. An environment that supports social-democratic welfare and strives for innovation and progress.

Here, you can expect to see perfectly clean streets and beautiful harbours, people riding bicycles, minimalist yet cozy designs, more people riding bicycles, busy city life and quiet neighborhoods, and… me going down the 16-meter slide.
