If you could build a #tunnel, you could cut travel time between #Bergen and #Stavanger (2nd and 3rd most populous cities in #Norway) by 40 minutes

Well, Norway's building it
27 km long (17 miles), 392 m deep (1,286 feet)
It's called #Rogaland fastforbindelse: Rogaland Fixed Link
#Construction started 2018. Estimated completion 2033
Cost? About $2.4 billion (?!)

PhD Fellowship in Urban Morphology, Accessibility and Mobility Cultures
A PhD where I really think someone with disabilities that affect their mobility should apply. Unfortunately, bullshit like "ability to...handle a heavy workload" means it'll probably be abled urbanists doing things disabled people should be doing.

The Academic Gingerbread Town is located in the beloved University Museum of Bergen, Norway and represents a fantasy version of the University campus. It includes both lifelike models of well-known UiB buildings and also gingerbread models of universities in ruins, Sauron鈥檚 eye paired with the EU Parliament, the storming of the U.S. Capitol, and flood-damaged houses due to climate change. The town consists of nearly 200 gingerbread creations
