OSLO::Fjord City

Norway’s capital city has a strong profile as an environmentally friendly city – “the blue and the green and the city in between”. In 2003 Oslo was a winner of the European Sustainable City Award.

The Fjord City Plan is an overall strategy towards urban development of the waterfront. It includes urban renewal of a string of waterfront properties in the heart of Oslo. The aim is to create better connections between the City Center and the fjord, providing unique and modern physical surroundings for living, work and leisure. Areas will be opened to the sea for future development including housing, recreation, culture and business.

The Fjord City exhibition covers 900 square metres and includes models of the planned construction projects along the inner Oslo Fjord. Click here to see a video.

Visitors will get a chance to see new models and illustrations of Oslo S (central station), Tjuvholmen, the winners of the architecture competitions for the new Munch Museum, the Deichman library and the Astrup Fearnley Museum. A large model of the booming Bjørvika area will also be on display.
