housing and infrastructure (Norway`s Geotechnological Institute, 2019). Nevertheless, up to date, Bakklandet is covered with a layer of light, yet closely connected building structures and street infrastructure.
As a flood mitigation design, working with our own set goals, mainly of keeping the visual heritage as true as possible and extending the green spaces, we have come up with some solutions. First is an infrastructure of a water channel under the main street of Bakklandet, which, in case of flood, would take away additional water and pump it to prepared water tanks elsewhere in the city. As the building of this would require taking out the pavement, we use this to propose a slightly new shape of the street (as shown in figure 18), to help with accumulating the water into the pipes and renew the pavements in an authentic Bakklandet style. Second is using already existing open spaces as blue-green water retention reservoirs, providing them with deep, water retaining greenery and pond-like space that would fill out first as the water gets to Bakklandet (visible in figure 19). With those additions, it is extremely important to check the planned additional infrastructure, with geotechnical specialists, due to quick clay danger.

7.6. Budget
In the budget the cost of preparedness and response activities are determined (Koshy, 2019).
The preparation for future sea level rise on Bakklandet in line with the suggestions made in this assignment, requires a lot of monetary resources. As the starting assumption of our assignment is that Trondheim is a municipality which has substantial resources, which is also more or less in line with the actual situation in the municipality and Norway today, we have used the Norwegian state budget for 2019 as a starting point for calculating a budget. In the state budget the government has decided to grant 349 million NOK to the prevention and management of flood- and landslide damage in 2019. 13 million NOK has been granted to cope with stormwater management in the same year (Statsbudsjettet, 2019). This money will of course be distributed throughout the country. Consequently, Trondheim and Bakklandet will only get parts of this sum. We still expect that the state will contribute with large parts of the
