Living Lab Event - Økernbyen (N), 29th November 2018
Økern Centre is situated in the heart of Hovinbyen, one of Oslo’s newest and most ambitious city development areas. Hovinbyen has a potential growth of 30-40,000 new residents and will accommodate a total of 100,000 people in addition to its 2.5 million m2 area for industry and trade. Økern Centre will be the central hub of Hovinbyen and will form and change Oslo in accordance with the growth strategies of Oslo Municipality.
From 2020 Steen & Strøm and Storebrand will create an urban, sustainable and innovative 163,000 m2 urban centre including an indoor aquapark, a cinema, housing facilities, cultural venues, offices, hotels and a leading commercial centre. We have now started the search for companies and partners to help us develop Økern Centre to be as high-tech, sustainable and shaped with tomorrows solutions as possible.
