Municipality of Ålesund
The municipality of Ålesund is the largest municipality in the county of Møre og Romsdal and the largest city between Bergen and Trondheim. The region is world-leading in marine and maritime industries. Norway's largest port for fisheries is located here and the municipality is a major hub for public transport and tourism, cruise ships being a major contributor. The city of Ålesund is known for its jugendstil architecture with beautifully decorated buildings and is located in the fjords of Sunnmøre.
The municipality has close cooperation with the local university and encourages cooperation around sustainability goals through the United future lab located at the university campus.
Ålesund has created a Special-Purpose Vehicle “Sørsida Utvikling AS”, a municipal company, to coordinate the development of the Sørsida waterfront district. The municipality and SUAS will use Re-Value to co-create and implement the transformation of the district using data-driven approaches, and story-building together with the local community.
