Moa
0
We’re now arriving in Moa, an area that has grown from farmland into one of the largest commercial and business centers in Norway. Here you’ll find shopping malls, housing, cinemas, restaurants, a library, a swimming hall, offices, and a lively urban district that draws people from across the region. In the Amfi shopping centers alone, there are nearly 200 shops and places to eat. Development accelerated in the 1970s, when Ålesund needed more room to expand. Today, Moa forms an important link between the city and the surrounding region, and stands as a clear symbol of modern growth in Sunnmøre. Behind the malls and busy roads, you can still spot traces of the old rural landscape — a few farms that remind us that this was once agricultural land.
