developing urbanity along bergen light rail
How do we plan for future urban life, and develop a good background for future generations to live easier “green” lives?
The 21st century will be characterized by big changes in style of life, the way we know it. Governments sign treaties and make regulations on how to lower our green gas emissions. We will maybe not go short on oil and gas during the first 50 years, but regulations on emissions will make it difficult to continue in the same way as we have done the last 50 years.
From the ecological point of view other aspects matters more for the future; biodiversity over and under the sea surface, eco-systems supporting our way of life, valuation of productive land and how we decide to manage these resources, the impact we have on the planet.
With focus on the ecological footprint of our lifestyle, the project explores a possible future scenario in a site situated along the light rail line in Bergen, access point : Wergeland.
The ecological footprint of the average Norwegian in 2008 was 6,8 gha (global hectares), according to the Living Planet Report. Relative to available bio-capacity and the existing population of the planet, the ideal ecological footprint is 1,8 gha.
Working with conceptual strategies to lower our energy consumption within the five eco-footprint parameters : #MOBILITY, #SHELTER, #GOODS, #SERVICES and #FOOD, the necessary focal point of the project becomes:
- production of food (Urban Agriculture)
- visualization of the processes involved.
“From field to fork” is my strategy to develop more resilient communities along the light rail. Celebration of food is important for our future life in the cities.

We will maybe not go short on oil and gas during the first 50 years, but regulations on emissions will make it difficult to continue in the same way as we have done so far [last 50 years?].

"From field to fork” is a [the?, my?] strategy to develop more resilient communities along the light rail. Celebration of food important ingredient for our future life in the cities.
[i think it is important that you go through the keywords in your illustration: i miss to see specification of mobility (bike/pedestrian) and shelter (densification).
