Fjord City

The Fjord City (Norwegian: Fjordbyen) is an urban renewal project for the waterfront part of the centre of Oslo, Norway.

Major investments in the area include a new Central Railway Station, an already completed Oslo Opera House, and the commercial buildings in the Barcode Project.

The main barrier between the city and the fjord will disappear when European Route E18 is relocated to the Bjørvika Tunnel.

It contains the corporate headquarters of several of Norway's largest companies, including DnB NOR, Aker, and Storebrand.

Vestbanen rail terminal will host the National Museum of Art, Architecture and Design and the Nobel Peace Center.

The City Hall Square transport hub and Pipervika neighbourhood were renewed in the 1960s, when the surrounding slums were removed.

[2] Vippetangen and Akershusstranda will receive little renewal, since the area features the national monument of Akershus Fortress.
