You would expect Norway 3rd and Norway's Last Europen City (Stavanger, this Year) of Culture to be over run with cars and people but I have never seen such an understated city - It really is fantastic and also part of the city form (above) form part of a world hertiage area.
It has everthing going for it, a port, an airport, a rail way station and fantastic landscape
and as such it really is a green city, buildings of sustainable materials, no cars road pricing, Electric Buses ,A Train statition in the city centre - I now i really want to live there!
There must be a down side?, and yes there is the cost of living !
It also must be the most expensive place in the world , except of course to Olso.

Thanks for your support this time. We've hopefully run a campaign based on a really important issue.
Poor public transport cost Robert his chance to ask a question on Newsnight, as trains were delayed between Warrington Bank Quay and Crewe on Tuesday night.
We've spent around £300 on our mainly online campaign, an amount probably dwarfed by UKIP and the English Democrats, so we are hoping for, rather than expecting a 4th place result.
Ive said it before - many other countries have it sorted, but everyone here wants to bury their head in the sand (both government and tree huggers). If you want a decent, integrated, efficient transport network it needs to be paid for, and it needs to work right. ...and no, road tolls, congestion charging *before* hand with the slim arguement that its to raise cash for such projects (and not to prop up the rest of government) will not work! The taxpayer knows when its being ripped off!
