CYCLE WALK (BUS)RIDE IN THE VALLEY OF BERGEN

This map shows the connecting routes by bus or by bike in the north end of the Bergen valley, close to the city center. Access point : Wergeland is situated in the middle of the picture. Though this map is outdated due to missing cycle-paths after the light rail line is buildt it can be an interesting study to see the access routes from Wergeland connecting to these. And how will the routes change when the light rail is in traffic? How does the intensity map look like?

review from tutor:

Tenkte jeg skulle gi noen mer konkrete kommentarer på selve essayet;

Du har skrevet en bra oppgave. Jeg liker både innholdet og engasjementet. Faren er likevel at det blir "for mye" engasjement og at oppgaven blir litt ensidig og lite kritisk. Jeg hadde gjerne sett at du mer kritisk gikk inn i den rollen samfunn og kultur, gjennom hverdagslivet, har i å bidra til å vedlikeholde vår livsstil og hva som er omkostningene ved å bryte ut. Omkostninger som er knyttet til ulike former for kapital - sosial, kulturell eller økonomisk. Jeg likte det du tok opp om rollemodeller og tilgjengelighet på gode alternativ. Det er et nivå som griper inn på hverdagsplanet.

I forhold til håp er jeg enig i at håpløshet og fatalisme ikke er et godt utgangspunkt, men mener at håp (ureflektert i form av "det bedrer seg nok" er vel så ødeleggende. Jeg vil kanskje mene at virtue ethics / dydsetikk handler om det - å gjøre det rette fordi det er det rette uansett om man tror det vil lose problemene. Fokuserer man på målet, blir det konsekvensetikk. Generelt er etikk et felt som er alt for lite vektlagt. Vurderinger av plan og arkitektur i forhold til ulike etiske systemer er dessverre veldig fraværende. Så et pluss for det.

(eng. You have written a good essay. I like both the content and commitment. The danger, however, that it becomes too much commitment and that the task is a bit one-sided and not very critical. I would have liked to see that you more critical entered the role of society and culture through everyday life, in helping to maintain our lifestyle and what are the costs of breaking out. Costs associated with various forms of capital - social, cultural or economic. I liked that you took up the role models and the availability of good alternatives. There is a level that interferes with the everyday level.
In terms of hope, I agree that the hopelessness and fatalism is not a good starting point, but believe that hope ,unreflected in the form of "things will be all right" is just as devastating. I believe that virtue ethics / dydsetikk about it - to do the right thing because it is the right thing regardless of whether you think it will solve the problems. Focusing on the goal; consequential ethics. In general, ethics is a field that is far too little emphasized. Reviews of urban planning and architecture in relation to various ethical systems is unfortunately very absent. A plus for this.)

Uansett, en grundig og god oppgave.

Lykke til videre!
