The plan for Oslo’s harbourside promenade is devised to develop over time, according to two sets of overall strategic and spatial principles, for the establishment phase and the long-term phase. A living city is in a state of continuous change, where new spaces can be established, physically and mentally, in the course of a single day. So even though the harbour promenade is a project with a 20-year span, the concept of “testbeds” introduces temporary nodes of experience and allow them to grow. The first step for the promenade is the implementation of a string of these different testbeds.
Over time, the nine identified sections of the promenade, each with its individual programs and qualities, can develop and be allowed to change.

The Oslo harbour front is a series of different places. That variety is the basis for future development.

Who is the promenade for? During the planning process, the team did a series of video interviews with different people at different places along the harbour front.
