[edit] suburb?

A rather remarkable stub - are you serious that in Norway a suburb has a capital?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andre Engels (talk • contribs) 05:25, August 22, 2002

who said bærum was a suburb? bærum is a county of sorts. when you say suburb i imagine big flats/apartments. bærum has forests and houses. it's sort of like a rich, american suburb, only more diverce and less dencly populated. a lot of the people here does also work in bærum. there are suburbs in norway to, but they are closer to the city, and (i think) on the east side, not on the west. (which is the rich side :p) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.166.254.195 (talk) 17:14, September 3, 2006 (UTC)

A suburb is a residential areas outside larger cities, and as such, Baerum has to be considered a suburb (compare the importance of Baerum to Bergen, Trondheim and Stavanger, cities which has app. the number of inhabitants). —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.161.77.36 (talk) 09:46, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

In short: Bærum is not and never has been a city, it is more of a district within which there happens to be many agglomerated settlements. Punkmorten (talk) 17:55, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
