"We've received more than a thousand ideas from residents, authorities, organisations, and businesses, which demonstrates that Økern is crying out for diversity and a variety of places to meet. We're now embarking on our task of reinvigorating Økern and shake the place up, almost around the clock"

Participatory project on Økern

There has been a great deal of interest in the development of Økern Sentrum in the local community and among municipal and regional decision-makers. This interest has given us a lot of valuable input that has helped to show us both challenges and opportunities. Økern is socially diverse, with a unique identity that should be built on in our work on the project.

Diverse urban life and experiences

Et sammensatt tilbud av handel, boliger og arbeidsplasser, sammen med kultur- og aktivitetstilbud kjennetegner en vellykket «sentrumskjerne» med liv døgnet og året rundt.

Local and regional cultural investment

Økern Sentrum skal være et viktig sted for Oslos kulturliv, både i form av kulturproduksjon og oppsetninger. Kultursatsingen skal være for alle og også ha spesielt fokus på lokale satsinger.

Local production and logistics hubs

Det legges til rette for å videreføre Økerns lange tradisjoner for produksjon og logistikk i en bymessig situasjon. Parkering, varelogistikk og renovasjon løses under bakken og «server» byen over, inkl. arealer til småskala produksjon og håndverksvirksomhet.

Urban spaces with water and nature

Av totalt 90 000 m2 i planområdet vil om lag en tredjedel av arealet avsettes til offentlig tilgjengelige torg, gater, vann, bekker og grøntdrag. Dette skal gi høy kvalitet til det urbane bybildet på Økern.
