INTRODUCTION We present the outcomes of this workshop as a daring rebuke to ‘impossibility’. Like the workshop itself, this document reflects the nonlinear nature of the workshop process, form and flows. A non-linearity which sometimes leads forward, occasionally backwards, is frequently fragmented, intermittently evident, often personally intense, but finally leads to group consensus.
All in all, “Cool and Connected: Planning Bodø through Urban Flows” summarises and demonstrates the intention, through different levels of personal and group perspectives, that changes in the built environment, and can contribute to a ‘cooler and more connected’ Bodø while addressing the ‘impossible’. We encourage our readers to follow their own storyline to get there.
A complete story which often unfolds only in the end, if ever, shall form in the mind of each reader. Because of the broad target audience, this compilation has been designed to offer multiple ways of reading. The entire report may be read in a traditional linear manner, or the reader may browse in fragments to contemplate figures, images, personal reflections or concentrate on one or more of the case studies. For the technical reader, who is interested in looking at the results from a strictly professional perspective, we have marked the book contents accordingly. The lay reader may follow a summary of the results, highlighted in a storyline. In essence, the reader is free to customise and enjoy a suitable personal storyline. The goal is to create an open publication that is appealing to a variety of readers, particularly the non-technical audience.
