ARTICLE ABOUT FREIBURG - THE UNOFFICIAL GERMAN ECO-CITY

In the local paper of Bergen; BT I found this article from Freiburg that describes many of the aspects I imagine can develope at Wergeland, and many other stops along the light rail in Bergen.
No cars in the streets besides from utility transport (fire, ambulance, transport of goods, service cars / buses for elder, disabled etc).
Mixed housing with homes for elder within the community.
The city has been working with an holistic approach to city planning for 40 years and therefore many of the solutions are now well organized, and logic.
The light rail and the bike are main transportation.

IMPORTANT REMINDER FOR PROCESS #1

Picturing the Utopia we seek to build is a necessary exercise for any person working in the field of sustainability. By defining a point on the horizon that we are navigating towards, we may guide our policy, shape our thinking, and change our behavior towards more sustainable systems.
