Have we forgotten that, already? It is only three years since the government elected Bergen Norway’s most attractive city, where the jury stated that «Bergen is a role model and shows that urban development is a key tool for promoting good societal development. Here, more people will be able to live, work and live within walking distance of most things ».
Bergen’s credibility as a role model is now at stake: If the city council votes in favor of the Bybanen being laid in a tunnel on 24 November, it is likely that we as residents will not receive an urban railway offer from Åsane to the city center. We risk that urban development stops completely.
