Relocated Work Place, Fewer Cars

A few years ago, 1000 municipal employees had their desks relocated to the Trondheim city centre. As a result, annual car journeys went down 150 000 in number, reducing its share to only 16 per cent.

Green and Child-like

The network «Grønn Barneby» (Green City for Children) contributes to the environmental education in 111 of Trondheim’s schools and nursery schools.

High speed Bus Lane

In summer 2008, public transport lanes were laid down on all roads running through Trondheim. Unpopular at first, the lanes have proved highly efficient, affecting the whole city.

Saved Electricity in Nepal

Saving money through more efficient use of energy, Trondheim Municipality is able to install a solar cell panel in a girls’ crisis centre in Kathmandu, Nepal.

A New City of the Future

The new suburb of Trondheim, Brøset, will be carbon neutral. Built from healthy materials and using little energy, Brøset will make an integrated and future-oriented suburb. The work in Brøset will be given full priority in Cities of the Future and should become a model for future urban development.
