"My vision for Krøgenes is to tear down the asphalt and restore the natural habitat in and around Krøgenes for people and nature to thrive together. To plan a city that is not scattered, a city that limits its footprint on the land. A city that creates a strong local community and economy. A city that lives among nature, by the water. Nature is an important part of us. Our livelihoods and well-being depend on our surroundings."

The Challenge. Krøgenes today, the city of asphalt.
