Aarhus Municipality, Administrative division in Central Denmark Region, Denmark
The municipality stretches across 469 square kilometers of land on the eastern coast of the Jutland peninsula, accommodating more than 367,000 residents.
The current municipal structure emerged in 1970 through the consolidation of 20 smaller municipalities, establishing a unified administrative region with Aarhus as its capital.
The Aarhus City Council consists of 31 elected members who operate under a distinctive magistrate system that sets it apart from other Danish municipal governments.
The municipality manages six specialized departments overseeing various sectors including social affairs, technical services, health administration, and cultural development.
Despite the nationwide Municipal Reform of 2007 that merged numerous Danish municipalities, Aarhus Municipality remained independent due to its substantial size and population.
