Selskabet for Oslo Byes Vel

Christiania Byes Vel also issued a periodical, Den Norske Borgerven ("The Norwegian Citizen's Friend"), discontinued after seven installments.

In the following years, Christiania Byes Vel advocated political reforms such as water purification and the construction of green valleys along the city's approach roads.
