Abstract
In 1999, the European Parliament upgraded the 1985-initiative ‘European Capital of Culture’ and transformed it into a European Community program. The title European Capital of Culture is awarded by the European Council. Since 2011, two cities from two European Countries have been awarded the title each year. After four years of professional work headed by Trevor Davies, the city of Aarhus was elected in 2012. Aarhus is the second largest city in Denmark and the second Danish city to win the title after Copenhagen, which was nominated in 1996. Aarhus shares the title European Capital of Culture 2017 with Paphos (Cyprus).
