How Tromsø Became a Winter City
Tromsø was transformed into a winter city through public events and discreet urban design.
The SUV project (Stimulating the Uptake of Autonomous Vehicles by Local Authorities) provides cities and regions with the right tools and practices to prepare their urban developments for the introduction of autonomous vehicles. It aims to connect and enhance sustainable mobility and city/regional planning to understand the actions needed to maximise the benefits autonomous vehicles can offer society.

The project explores fieldwork in the education of landscape architects.
Water-related risks will jeopardize the water security of up to 2.4 billion people by 2050, with impacts on access to water and health (Risk #7), lifeline infrastructure (Risk #3), food security, livelihoods, and cultural heritage. We will be supporting community partners in Kenya, South Sudan, Norway, and Canada to: a) map their water systemsʼ climate vulnerabilities; b) implement and evaluate interventions that augment their water systemsʼ resilience; and c) create a globally-applicable toolkit to inform policymakers at the global, national, regional, and local levels to advance interventions with vulnerable groups in other locations. Our first two aims will support in-community activities to advance water security beyond the duration of this project. Research objectives include understanding: (i) the systems that ensure water security, (ii) the climate vulnerabilities in those systems, and (iii.) the opportunities for creating and maintaining climate-resilient water systems.
