Editing Bærum (section)

==Economy==
Bærum's industrial base has since the 1950s given way to service industries, including retailing, engineering, public services, etc. It derives much of its tax base by being a [[Commuter town|bedroom community]] to Oslo. It is one of the most affluent areas in Norway.<ref name="snlbærum"/>

Two of Norway's busiest highways ([[European route E18|E18]] and [[European route E16|E16]]) and one railroad traverse the municipality. There has been considerable development of office parks along E18, especially around [[Lysaker]] in the last 20–30 years, reducing some of the pressure on downtown areas of Oslo.<ref name="snlbærum"/>
