How to plan, develop and adapt in Stavanger and the region as we go from Oil City to Smart City
Stavanger has evolved from a shipping and canning city to Norway’s oil capital. This has affected the city. The decline in oil prices has given both Stavanger and the region major challenges. Challenges provide new opportunities – Stavanger and the region have chosen to meet the challenges by focusing on smart solutions. Could this be the new oil? A roadmap has been prepared for Stavanger’s work towards becoming a smart city. Stavanger has also set high climate targets. The use of clean energy in the transport sector will be important to achieve these goals.

Public lighting in Stavanger – history, management, operation/maintenance, strategy, projects
Stavanger put in place its first street lighting in 1865. The municipality later established a power station to secure electricity for the city’s needs including street lighting. The municipality manages street lighting, while operation and maintenance is carried out by an inter-municipal company.
The municipality has prepared a technical lighting standard and a comprehensive replacement programme is underway for LED. Lighting includes not only street lighting, but also other lighting projects which is an important part of the lighting strategy for Stavanger’s city centre.

Morning Session
Light in a Norwegian context: Lighting for «hygge», health and wellbeing, facilitating outdoor activities, light and biodiversity
Norway is located far to the north where we have a long and dark winter period. How is light and dark experienced and how does it affect us? Stavanger’s focus on developing and preserving high quality green infrastructure provides for outdoor activities and experiences throughout the year, including during the winter. With light, nature can be explored and experienced in a different way when nights are long and days are short. How does artificial light in the dark affect nature and what should we think about in this context?

Temporary and permanent lighting: a multiplicity of uses, from creative event lighting to tunnel lighting and permanent lighting
Light can be a powerful instrument. It can be a catalyst in urban development and with new technology, special effects can be created that increase the city’s experiential value.
