Sunde-Kvernevik
When development started almost immediately after expansion
of the city limits in 1965, Sunde and Kvernevik seemed to be
far from town.
Most of Sunde and Kvernevik was developed before 1980.
Given that there were many developers, catering for different
potential buyers, almost all types of houses and building styles
from that period are represented. Developments in society and
increased prosperity after the city’s last recession in the 1960s
are reflected in the number of extensions subsequently built to
the first houses at Kvernevik.
Development area Søra Bråde, Sunde
Building is still going on in the area, and there are examples
of more recent architecture, as illustrated by the photographs
from Søra Bråde at Sunde.
Jåttå-Gauselmarka
A continuous urban belt between Stavanger and Sandnes, also
called the “Linear City”, was accepted as one of the basic
principles of development of North Jæren. This made Gausel-
Godeset-Jåttå, midway between Sandnes and Stavanger centre,
a prime candidate for development. In addition, the proximity
of work places at Forus made this area very attractive. Local
work places were not part of the concept for any of the development
areas. However, in this case, they were at least located
in the vicinity.
