"Located in a dramatic landscape of mountains, waterfalls and river valleys, the site comprises hydroelectric power plants, transmission lines, factories, transport systems and towns. The complex was established by the Norsk-Hydro Company to manufacture artificial fertilizer from nitrogen in the air. It was built to meet the Western world’s growing demand for agricultural production in the early 20th century. The company towns of Rjukan and Notodden show workers’ accommodation and social institutions linked by rail and ferry to ports where the fertilizer was loaded. The Rjukan-Notodden site manifests an exceptional combination of industrial assets and themes associated to the natural landscape. It stands out as an example of a new global industry in the early 20th century."
尤坎-诺托登工业遗产
"这片遗产地坐落于一片壮观的群山、瀑布与河谷之间，包括一整套由水电站、输电线路、工厂、交通和城市网络所构成的整体。挪威水电公司最初建设这里是为了利用空气中的氮气生产化学肥料，以满足20世纪初期西方世界对农业生产日益增长的需求。诺托登和尤坎这两座以工人为主的城市里有工人的住房和社会机构，并由铁路和渡轮与运输化肥的码头相连。尤坎-诺托登遗产地体现了融入当地自然景观的工业概念和设施的独特结合，提供了20世纪早期世界新工业的范本。"
