<\/p>\nThe city of Bod\u00f8 is the administration centre in the County of Nordland and is the largest city
\nin the county with 50 000 citizens. Bod\u00f8 is experiencing a rapid growth in the population and
\nis now transforming into a larger modern Norwegian city. In February 2014, the city council
\nadopted the overall strategic plan \u2013 Bod\u00f8 2030. The vision for Bod\u00f8 2030 is \u201can attractive
\ncapital in the North\u201d. This strategy contains six different focus areas where one focus area is
\n\u201csustainable city development\u201d.<\/p>\n
Within in the focus area sustainable city development, the city of Bod\u00f8 has stated their
\nclimatic goal: Bod\u00f8 is an innovative low emission city, where the citizens feel safe for nature
\nrelated dangers. With this statement, Bod\u00f8 will play an active role in both reduction of
\nclimate gas emission and in adaption to a future climate. Both innovation and development
\nof new technology will be at central element in this work.<\/p>\n
The national government has decided to end the military air activity in Bod\u00f8 within the next
\nseven to ten years. The runway is from the early 1950\u2019s and has a maximum of ten years left
\nbefore it has to be replaced by a new runway. This means that it has to be built a new
\nrunway in Bod\u00f8 within 2025.This gives opportunities to think future city development in a
\ncompletely new perspective.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Bod\u00f8 has developed two different scenarios for city development with the two possible
\nsolutions for future airport in Bod\u00f8. The first alternative is a new parallel runway 80 meter
\nfrom today\u2019s runway. The other option is building a new airport one kilometre to the east of
\ntoday\u2019s airport. By building a new airport in the area that is today occupied by the military
\nactivity gives Bod\u00f8 around 360 hectares for city development. An area big enough to house
\n25 000 citizens and gives the city large new business areas.<\/p>\n
By moving the airport and building a complete new city in near relation with the historic city
\ncentre, Bod\u00f8 also get the opportunity to build a smart city for the future. In this work the
\nvision of building the smartest city in the world was born. How does a city look like in 2065?
\nWhat kind of technology is used in a future city? How is future buildings formed? What kind
\nof energy sources are used in future cities?<\/p>\n
The city of Bod\u00f8 is developing a smart city project called Smart Bod\u00f8. This project is looking
\nat the whole society perspective in city development. By this, Bod\u00f8 wants to connect public
\nhealth, education, welfare, environment, culture, governance, business development and
\ntechnology development together. The focus of Smart Bod\u00f8 is divided in two parts. One
\nfocus is the future city that we will develop from 2025 and onward. The first focus is to
\ndevelop a city where climate gas emission is minimized. The second focus is how the existing
\ncity can become a smart city the next ten years. With these efforts, Bod\u00f8 wants become one
\nof the frontrunners in the transition to the low carbon society.<\/p>\n
