Once and for all: Which is best – town or country?

For as long as Are Kalvø has lived, people have been arguing about town and country. Other arguments get settled. But not this one.

The time has come to put this conflict behind us and channel our energies into solving the world’s big problems instead.

Are Kalvø is ready to sacrifice himself for the cause. He’ll spend one month in Norway’s smallest municipality and another month in Europe’s biggest city. Then he’ll compare the two and establish once and for all: Which is best – town or country?

If that doesn’t work, he’ll try and build a bridge.
