14.00-14.45: Dream-team-discussion! Oslo East vs Oslo West (in Norwegian)
We conclude the conference with a discussion about the distribution between Oslo East and Oslo West:
- The West side avoids high-rise buildings in Montebello, while housing blocks in Løren are initially built without sufficient areas for children, such as playgrounds, parks or football fields. Why is this the case?
- Are large, national, cultural institutions, like Nationaltheatret and NRK, reserved for the West side? Where should they be located? Do they matter to the local community?
- How do the former and current city council in Oslo view the situation? What determines what is placed where in the city – homes, green areas and cultural buildings – and how can we do better?
We have assembled an absolute dream-team to discuss East vs West!
- Bovild Tjønn, district director in Bjerke District. The significance of no interaction between houses that are built and services for the population, e.g. children and lack of parks, football fields and playgrounds?
- Erling Dokk Holm, associate professor. What significance does the location of large, national, cultural institutions such as Nationaltheateret, NRK and others have?
- Together with James Stove Lorentzen, H, (today’s city council) and Rasmus Reinvang, MDG, (representative of the previous city council), they discuss today’s challenges and tomorrow’s solutions.
The debate will be lead by Gro Sandkjær Hanssen, research professor, the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research (NIBR).
14.45-14.55: Thank you! Summing up and closing the conference – new knowledge, better practices?
Geir Heierstad, institute director, the Norwegian Institute for Urban and Regional Research (NIBR)
15.00: Discussion to be continued: Friday drinks!
