	Description:		The Danish town of Kalundborg should be a boom town, as the main manufacturing site for the weight loss drug Wegovy.

Despite this economic bounty, Kalundborg’s schools are underperforming and entertainment opportunities are limited.

Can the mayor persuade people to move and live there long term?
