As is the case with many countries, Norway has its share of large,
polluted industrial areas defined by monumental infrastructure, lack of
permeability and complicated way-finding. These areas often feature a
concentration of land uses that have been deliberately isolated from the
surrounding city due to their unpleasant nature. Lin Skaufel, Associate
at Gehl, is currently dealing with a project of this nature in
Breivoll, Oslo. Together with Hans Martin Aambø, Project Manager, and
his team at Planning & Building Authority of Oslo Municipality, they
have investigated how these areas can become integrated within the city
and methodologies for approaching city design can be used in industrial
areas.
Breivoll is in the industrial area Groruddalen that stretches
approximately 15 km north east of Oslo. Through lack of a coherent
planning policy, the area has developed haphazardly over time along the
beautiful river Alna. Breivoll is only 4 km from the center of Oslo and
has the potential to become an urban generator for Groruddalen region.
