How big, and how small is actually Ålesund city centre?

Ålesund is a city, or a town for us local people, but in size it might just be a backyard in Shanghai.

I have compared Ålesund to some other cities around the world. Just to get some perspective... . .

1 km2 covers all of Ålesund central city centre

Torgallmenningen

1 km2 covers about halv of Bergen city centre, but all of the most active center.

Compared to Oslo, Ålesund city centre just covers half of the length of the main street Karl Johan.

Compared to New York, Ålesund city centre just covers 1/4 of Central Park.Imagine the size of the park... and how little Ålesund is....

Compared to Shanghai ( this picture does'nt show the full size of Shanghai)... Ålesund is just a dot.

An average human beeing can walk 4-5 km an hour.

0.98 km = ca 15 min walk

1,39 km = ca 21 min walk

1,57 km = ca 24 min walkbecause of the topogra-phy we might add 5 more minutes.
