Please add the title of your case study here and replace the dummy image with a characteristic image of your site

On my way to work, cycling form Svartdal to Seljord, I repeatedly risk my life, being overtaken by big trucks. Despite the fact that the road is narrow, curved and steep, it still counts as the main transport route between east and west of Norway. But in 2013 a new major national road investment project started; a 9,4 kilometer long tunnel between Seljord and Hjartdal will liberate the small villages along the old road from being polluted by noisy monsters. Simultaneously a new comprehensive improvement project of the old curved route, “The experience route through Nutheim”, is being planned in secret, by the politicians in cooperation with the public road departure in Norway. The project itself is a wonderful initiative, and will benefit the inhabitants if it is done the right way. I think it is an interesting case to study as a landscape democracy challenge in the way the planning process has been done; the fact that the municipality has been planning it for several years without even mentioning it for the inhabitants, at least I haven’t heard about it until a month ago.
