Fjord City
Natur in Norway
Fjord City (Fjordbyen), The, the project for the redevelopment of Oslo’s fjord and harbour areas, from Frognerkilen in the west to Bekkelaget (Sydhavna) in the south east. It covers an area of 226 hectares (approx. 565 acres) and is divided into 11 sub-areas. The aim of the project is to release areas facing the sea and make use of these for future-oriented urban development, with housing, recreation and industry in such a way that the city is opened up towards the fjord. The first plans were approved by the city council in 2000. The Fjordby plan itself was approved by the council in 2008. In the period from 2000 to 2019, most of the projects have been planned, and many of them have also been realised. The former harbour areas released for urban development purposes are Tjuvholmen, Bjørvika–Bispevika, Filipstad and Sørenga-Loenga. At the same time, the city council in 2009 approved that Sydhavna is to be established as Oslo’s permanent harbour.
