Rationale: Why have you chosen this case for the landscape and democracy seminar?
My municipality is called Aurskog-Høland. I grew up in a small town to the south of the municipality. My town is called Hemnes, and the organizational center is called Bjørkelangen. Hemnes and the other towns in the south of the municipality are threatened by depopulation and centralization. All the commitment and investment are made in Bjørkelangen (north of the municipality), and I think “the new swimming pool” and its centralized location signal a challenge for landscapers and city planners. The Swimming pool, is in many ways a symbol on the centralization politics, and many fear that all the investment in Bjørkelangen will destroy the existing town structure in the municipality. The investment in a bigger swimming pool split my municipality, and creates a need for new democratically processes and evaluation.
