Fulfilling the vision of Oslo as the Fjord City will help meet the city's need for more housing, business, recreation and cultural space, as well as improving and concentrating Oslo’s commercial ports.

The Fjord City Plan, the result of a four-year process of planning and collaboration, was approved by the City Council in February 2008. The plan provides general guidelines for planning of the Fjord City, and establishes key themes for impact analysis. The plan defines areas for construction, parks and port activities, provides the groundwork for environmentally-friendly transportation systems, and ensures general access to the waterfront.

The total Fjord City area comprises 225 hectares, from Frognerstranda to the west to Ormsund in the southeast. Sale of these prime waterfront properties commenced in 2003 and will run through the end of the decade.

The largest landowners of the development area are: 

The Port of Oslo: www.oslohavn.no, and its subsidiary
