Do events make a city happier? 😃

📈 Micael used Taylor Swift’s three concerts in Stockholm to study how large events can positively impact a city’s well-being and sense of community.
It turns out, big events like these can really lift a city’s overall happiness!
These are Michael’s 5 happy places in Stockholm:
🏟️ The Avicii Arena and SkyView

Public art in Stockholm 🎨
Looking for colorful public art in Stockholm? 🎨
Our city has a long tradition of public art; a belief that art has an important role to play in society, and therefore should be available to everyone. ❤
🎀 This is Flickorna (’the Girls’) by Cilla Ramnek at Arenatorget in southern Stockholm. It's perhaps Stockholm’s largest mural, 800 square metres, on a concrete chimney.
