The city changes right in front of our eyes. Not as a result of the physical work, but the city gets a whole new identity. A city with a light rail is another city.
Once - we designed the light rail Now the light rail design us. Thank you for your attention! Bergen.kommune.no bergensprogrammet.no bybanen.no bybanensveileder.no
