 Abstract

Bergen boasts a rich harbor-centric historical narrative, rooted in its erstwhile prominence as a key Hanseatic Office outpost. The evolutionary trajectory of its port infrastructure has engendered substantial urban development, epitomized by the emergence of the Bryggen precinct. Bryggen, constituting an urban fabric derived from Bergen’s medieval settlement, has retained its structural integrity from the 12th century to contemporary times. Revered as an emblematic facet of Bergen’s cultural legacy, this picturesque enclave within the port precinct garnered early recognition as one of UNESCO’s inaugural World Heritage sites. Sustaining Bryggen’s esteemed status on the heritage roster mandates the formulation of rigorous management protocols and judicious interventions aimed at conserving its historical authenticity. Conversely, Norway’s steadfast commitment to advancing its sustainability agenda engenders imperatives to curtail vehicular and maritime traffic within the vicinity. How, then, do these divergent imperatives reconcile to achieve a symbiotic equilibrium?
