The criteria are largely related to objectives concerning to develop Haugesund into the viable, sustainable and vibrant city that attracts residents and businesses to the city and the region. In scenario City Centre, one third of the new housing, as well as the bulk of new development for trade and businesses, are located in or close to the city centre.
